The Pop Singers And Orchestra – Themes From Hit TV Shows
Released in 1976 by Peter Pan Industries, this album contains the theme songs from many of the 1970s and 1980s best TV shows! I don't think they make TV themes like they used to. So many of loved these songs when they came the televion. I mean, Welcome Back Kotter - come on; that song is awesome.
Now these not the actual performances from the TV show, but performances of the songs by the group "The Pop Singers And Orchestra", but it's still a very enjoyable album. I did just listen to another new album that did have the original Welcome Back Kotter song by John Sebastian on it.
