Song #312: "Theme From Angie (Different Worlds)"--Maureen McGovern (1979)

No, no, Maureen McGovern didn't just sing theme songs for Irwin Allen disaster movies or ballads for Superman. She also tackled a TV theme before the 1970's came to a close.

Do you remember the show "Angie"?

It premiered early in 1979, and with the help of ABC's strong Thursday night lineup, did very well in the ratings....until they moved it to Tuesday. Despite being on the same night as Three's Company, it began its decline, and died just over 18 months later.

Co-star Robert Hays went on to success in 1980 with the wonderful campy classic movie "Airplane!", while we are also left, 36 years later, with the question, whatever happened to Donna Pescow, who played the title character? Disney Channel fans from the turn of the century know......

The 1970's were the heyday for television theme songs to make the Top 40. Among others were:

The Rockford Files

Happy Days

Theme From SWAT

...and, according to some people, the best TV theme song of all-time.

This song, however, is not the best. :) :)

Now, back on track, here below is today's song:
