Something for the weekend. Dragnet theme song performed by Ray Anthony and his orchestra in 1953. Bonus: My favorite Joe Friday speech:
Dragnet
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Cool! It sure beats the Dan Ackroyd/Tom Hanks rap from the Dragnet movie. 🙂
I am surprised that no one has done a jazz version. Jack Webb had an unending passion for jazz.
The Dragnet theme rather heavy-going, like Webb himself. Quincy Jones Ironside theme is better.
