Brings me straight back to those Saturday nights on CBS tv during the 60's! - sitting on floor in front of big b&w console Admiral TV.....Sammy Spear, Frank Fontaine, The June Taylor Dancers, Joe the Bartender.....Jackie was a great talent.  How sweet it was!

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Dear bigcity233 さん＾＾♪

Thank you for a lot of comment.

Your memory is wonderful.

I pray for your health from Japan.＾＾

I am aware that this is different than the version that's used in the intro for his show, but both version are very lovely pieces to play. This and many other Jackie Gleason songs, especially his version of Misty, really puts me in acalm mood.

[sumame47]

Thank you for this wonderful download. I am a huge Jackie Gleason/Honeymooners fan and he was very talented. My late father reminded me of Jackie Gleason. It's too bad that there's not more information on him, for you and other fans, in Japan. I believe his last film was "Nothing in Common" with Tom Hanks. It was a very emotional movie and no other actor, but Jackie Gleason, could have played the role of Tom Hanks father. Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful information thanks.

I read your comment delightfully.

The Jackie Gleason orchestra is the music that father and I love most.

Unfortunately, in Japan, it is difficult to watch his movie.

Please have a happy day. Thank you very much＾＾.

Jackie, you are missed.

[RayGettings]

Jackie Gleason was indeed a man of many talents

Thank you for comment＾＾.

There is little information about him in Japan.

I had you teach me from father.

Please have a good day.☆＾＾

Capitol Records says:

"Jackie Gleason demonstrated a serious facet of his many talents when he composed this beautiful melody which became the theme of his highly successful television show."

Thanks for uploading this masumihanasanta! Thank You.

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Ｄｅａｒ　EagleMedievalさん＾＾♪ I read your nice comment and smile.

The information about him makes me happy.

I thank you.

Thank you very much.

Please have the good life.

[7lloyd777]

@EagleMedieval

He indeed did!

Great guy!

[tuxguys]

With the possible exception of Bob Hope and "Thanks for the Memories," never has a theme been as associated with an entertainer as this one, with Gleason. Gorgeous.

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Ｄｅａｒ　tuxguys さん＾＾♪

Thank you for teaching it.

Now, Opening - I watched The Jackie Gleason Show.

I examined it about him, but Japan has little information.

But I think that his music is the best. I want to remake sometime.

Thank you＾＾.

[flamesounds]

Magnificent, moody .......One hell of a piece of music by any standards.

[chenarch]

Is this version the actual JG Orchestra? Yes, opening bars strong resemblance to Nuages' opening two phrases...

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Ｄｅａｒ　chenarchさん♪ I like orchestras of Jackie Gleason and him, but there is not it in detail.

And I picked you up from this CD.

The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason[Original recording remastered]

[wmbrown6]

@chenarch - This was the first, definitive recording, made in January 1953 and originally credited to Jackie Gleason and His Concert Orchestra. (The other recording, featured on "The Best of Jackie Gleason" compilation LP [Capitol (S)W-2796] and set in the key of A-minor, was a re-recording [made in 1959] and originally issued on his LP "Opiate D'Amour.") In many ways, this was as much a signature tune of The Great One as "Love's Theme" was for Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra.

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Ｄｅａｒ　wmbrown6 さん＾＾♪

You gave me knowledge and joy.

With him, there is little information in Japan. It is the music that had you teach it from father.

I love their music, too.

Thank you for teaching it＾＾.

[wheatonna]

Very heavily based on Django Reinhardt's "Nuages", don't you think?

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Ｄｅａｒ　wheatonna さん＾＾♪

Thank you for comment.

Django Reinhardt - Nuages

I listened.

It is similar. However, there is not me in detail just to like jazz.

[wmbrown6]

@wheatonna - I've wondered if at least the essence of Barry White's "Love Serenade (Part I)" (1975) was loosely based on this tune (more on the order of the strings and their melodic progression as White was saying "I don't wanna feel no clothes...I don't wanna see no panties...and take off that brassiere, my dear...")

[AOTAB]

This is Beyond Lush, it's down right "JOOSAY"

[TheIntrinsic]

How many people came to this video because of it's use in The Sopranos? I bought the series box set a while ago and was watching the episode 'In Camelot' and heard trhis lovely piece of music during the credits.

[sacfly1414]

the best part about this is tht the composer of this piece, jackie gleason, didnt couldnt read or write a note of music

[TheIntrinsic]

he actually hummed the music that he had in his head to some of the people he hung out with that knew how to read and write music if i remember correctly.

[blondiebabs]

wonderful xx

thanksk nick for the share xxxxhugs

[masumihanasanta]

♪＾＾Dear wonderful xxさん＾＾♪

The Sopranos

[BEAUTIFULMusic73]

magnificent!

[WSenator1]

This theme, along with the "Honeymooners" theme, is among the first music I remember hearing from the TV set when I was a boy - in the 50s'! LL JG & Co!

[Etherealminds]

Listening to this piece always moves me to a higher level.....this composition can only be sescribed as C L A S S !!!

[im4evernocturnal]

Always takes me to a better place and time. Thank you. They simply do not make music like this anymore......

[MicheleBell1]

A perfect melody! Perfect orchestration!

CrazyBoutThe50s sent to me. So glad he did! Thanks for sharing this beauty!
