Tv Theme High Chaparral

[azloungelizard]

I love this song for HIGH CHAPARRAL!! VERY COOL western theme!

[weldonzerom]

ye ha!

[65Patrician]

Bogus, has anybody mentioned this is taken straight from the song 'Telstar'?

[FishOnTwoWheels]

This is not the original theme :-(

[Sauron191]

Is it possible to get copies of the artwork by Patty Schantz?? Just LOVE IT ALL!! There is one piece missing from all the into and end credit posts thought. I'm 100% adiment that in the end credits there was artwork of a Mexican couple dancing Flamenco next to a gypsy caravan or something ... The image would have been in a dirty pink colour .. I remember as a child waiting for this picture to come on as the woman was beautiful!! Can someone help me find it!!

[RomneyGack]

@Sauron191 I see online that there is a High Chaparral Reunion and some of her art will be auctioned. Just look it up. Good luck!

[arieladamsky]

Greatest show ever!!!!!!

[theenergizer248]

sounds just like "Telstar"" from the tornados

[kossmikham]

Holy fuck! I had not heard this theme song since I was 8! For a few moments I was transported back to 1971. Thanks for posting!

[SundropQueen1960]

I can remember being 12 years old when this show came out and having a huge crush on Mark Slade as Billy Blue.

Why can't they put this show on DVD?

[mush1955]

When i was a kid i used to have wet dreams about Linda Cristal.......I still do and get aroused just hearing the theme music !

[Kashmir1907]

Manolito war damals mein Held.

[gabrielczinn]

Tenho dvds deste seriados, pra mim, está entre os melhores.

[MsTexas73]

OMGOSH...High Chaperral, Bonanza and Big Valley...my favorite westerns. I agree with other posters saying the storylines were compelling for the times.

[likethe70s]

I keep looking in JB Hi Fi shops for it (Australia)...great western series.

[sking0369]

I remember the injuns shooting the flaming arrows. I also liked it better than Bonanza.

[MervynCruddy]

@sking0369 That's because the Cartwrights only had to contend with the Piyutes, who were wimps next to the Apaches that rode the High Chaparral.

[notredamehesamighty]

Very intelligent Western... compelling storylines and fantastic actors. The show probed some of the issues of the day such as racial tensions, economic questions of right and wrong and the impact of western expansion. In contrast, some of the characters on "Bonanza" seemed wooden and stilted, although that program was also, at times, quite good.

[lscdancer]

I liked this show. Setting was great.

[frank19593]

Brings back warm memories from when it was shown on a Sunday afternoon in Sydney...

[sewitt60]

@zaniac1000 Now you mention it, it does sound like it. 

[Faxe90Swe]

I loved this series! 

[sandrahn]

One of the best TV themes ever, and one of the best westerns. This show got lots of criticism for its violence as compared to safer westerns like Bonanza.

[reservenavn]

The best western I ever seen, and finally on dvd! Even now over 40 years after it looks greater then ever

[DerFeldzug]

in my opinion, there is no better western to find ;)

so let's go to kino.to and watch the 97 episodes...

[Apophisguard]

Every Sunday afternoon - loved it!

[jwillis5039]

my favorite western theme while growing up in the 60s and 70s.

[goldyn12345]

great theme tune!! dont make em like this,

[bansheewhiskey]

ah the good old days

[peterpops27]

is it my imagination or does this theme sound like telstar??

[mrslaffeetaffee]

@peterpops27  Yes it definatly sounds like Telstar.

[wiwiet79]

the best western ever

[rarebutgreat]

My favourite western TV show of all time. I remember sitting watching it with my mother in the dark . Happy times indeed. Thanks for posting it

[delren88]

I come from Malaysia and I grew up on this Western. My favourite - the best!

[BONGOMAN3003]

isn't the theme just like Telstar by the tornados

[marekerhardt]

Better than Bonanza. Right up there with Big Valley. Wild Wild West was good as well, the movie awful.

[Kiwifrank]

High Chaparral was my favourite western. The characters were so human and believable. A true timeless classic!

[grannydyess]

[toadieisgod]

Sunday Afternoon on BBC1 after lunch!

[Pheonixfromtheshale]

Your so right!

I can even smell Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puds whilst watching this clip!

[rarebutgreat]

I still prefer the original music as it had more puch to it.Still brings back memories of watching it with my folks on bbc two . The best western theme music ever

[kenfig]

The highlight of Wednesday evenings on B.B.C. 2 when i was a kid !

[Eduelsalvaje]

Yo lveia el Gran Chaparral cuando era un niño alla por 1970.

[ryoushii]

I would watch this with my dad after Star Trek on Saturdays on NBC in 68 and 69

[WildmanBorneo]
