One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It's the instrumental version of the song "Nikki" written by Burt Bacharach for his newborn daughter, Nikki, back in 1966. This version is more richly orchestrated than Bacharach's arrangement. Legendary Jazz composer Harry Betts arranged and recorded this.
By the way, for you trivia buffs, Nikki's mom is also very famous...Angie Dickinson. Sadly, Nikki passed away a few years ago.
For those of you not old enough to remember, this opening sequence was done in 1969. Before CGI. These were cutting edge graphics back then. The ABC Movie of the Week, Tuesday Movie of the Week and Wednesday Movie of the Week all used variations of this open. The series ran from 1971-1976

Return with us now to the era of Colonel Hogan and Colonel Klink, an open channel "D", Dr. and Mr. Spock and a post-Checkers Tricky Dick. Discuss, reminisce or just enjoy.
