High Hopes song (Bob from Sesame Street)

Yay! Sesame Street just re-released this album on iTunes, along with a whole bunch of other classic 70s & 80s albums. All sales support the non-profit Sesame Workshop to make possible the production of the show, so go buy a CD-quality copy of this song and support Sesame Street!

High Hopes was introduced in the 1959 Sinatra movie A Hole in the Head, but Bob's version captures the spirit perfectly and has made this one of my very favorite songs ever :)

Lots of credits--the 1977 Sesame Street LP Bob Sings! (CTW 22084) actually has decent liner notes. Music by Jimmy Van Heusen; lyrics by Sammy Cahn; arrangement by Dick Hyman. Instrumentalists: Dick Hyman, Ted Sommers, Tony Prie, Tony Mattola, Carmen Mastren, Phil Kraus, George Masso. Kids: Danielle Brisebois, Douglas Lemberg, Michelle Lewis, Alison, Cathlin, and Lilly McGrath, Daniel and Jeffrey Weber.

Bob is no Sinatra, but he sings this song well because, well, he has high hopes.
