What is the name of this song?

[tapthatt2012]

"Hi!" by Otto Cesana and his Orchestra

[noahf67]

Have you got the intro for WOR's

"The Late Movie", from same era..?

[tapthatt2012]

I don't want to sound biased,  but local NY TV was the best.

Ahhh thats what it was called...! i used to watch it when i stayed home from school in the 70's...great movies they played. Sorry for repeating myself...i have been looking for that intro for decades! I thought it was the weekday afternoon movie...lol

[Renagade70]

@johnkun77 You don't sound biased. You sound spot on to me.

@tapthatt2012

Thank you my man...you have definitely helped me find a lost part of my youth. That intro with the sketches of the old school stars, was the intro to the afternoon movie on channel 9 WORTV in NY. I would watch that when i would stay home from school...such great memories!

Thanks again...

@johnkun77 Listen man...your damn right! I got an early film education thanks to Channel 9, 11, and 7 in NYC in the 70's. I first saw "Requiem for a heavyweight" on WORTV channel 9's "million dollar movie. Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney and Anthony Quinn! Those stations were the best,they ran more classics, and un-sung films than cable does nowadays! And channel 7's "The 4:30 movie"was dynamite as well. I miss those days extremely... It was a time when you could sit in front of the TV and learn!

[Comrade4Life]

Tap that...

You have helped me find something i have been looking for for decades! That muzak intro with all of the sketches of the stars, was also the channel 9 afternoon movie which played on weekdays. in NYC in the 1970's.

So appreciated my man...Thank you sincerely,

where can i find that intro video to that channel 9 afternoon movie?

[bklyndice]

tv back in the day was much better than today,with all these reality shows,infomercials and hsn channels.miss it

At the 50-second mark, when "Movie 9" would end, usually without fail, the trumpet-and-string-heralded "Editorial" would come up right after.

[EDDIEMPR]

will somebody please invent a time machine and drop me off around 1979 for i could relive the 80s please!!!!!

You'd be biased if it wasn't for the fact that you're right.
