It was once fairly common for TV show theme songs to become popular hits (Rockford Files, Hillstreet Blues) but is seems it has been awhile.
That might change.
Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad that starts on AMC in February has one performed by Junior Bown that might be do it.
It already has 1.2 million views on YouTube.
Here it is:
Better Call Saul By Junior Brown
So excited for this show. A little concerned AMC might blow it, but the first preview looked great!
Dittos to that Matt. BB was 21st century Shakespeare. I couldn’t see how the could make a prequel but then I didn’t get BB at first either.
I think Junior Brown would be right up there with Hoagy Carmichel. I’d love hear him sing Star Dust!
Here he is doing Highway Patrol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_wLVCLPx0M
