Sounded perfect even with an acoustic guitar, I grew up watching the Mary Tyler Moore show during my youth..That is the perfect written song. If Mary Tyler Moore can do it, we can do it too.
everything about that show was magic and full of love, including of course this song, mary was indeed a magical person who could turn the world on with her smile.
I am SO GLAD I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s we had the BEST OF TIMES IN AMERICA ... I cry thinking how bad I want to do it all over again .. it was the best years of our life’s
I think this song is great and Sonny is a fantastic song writer, how wonderful to be apart of Mary's show, blessings, many stars for a spectacular song***************************"s
Wow, this performance by the authentic song writer Sonny Curtiss is phenomenal and historic. He was such a talented person and this song made him World famous. RIP Sonny you were a winner and your music will live on in infamy. Mary Tyler Moore and you both are now angels in Heaven looking down on all of us. Thanks for making our World a little brighter with your gifted talents , the both of you.
@@hollyfanatic8686 This is an edited version of the song. The original version had what was used during the early episodes and a slow take of what he has here. It was released on the Ovation record label in 1970, and the album version was around 5:30 long.
Awesome. I loved that show so much and had such a crush on Mary when I was a young boy that I'm still a Minnesota Vikings fan all these years later. This was a time when great shows had great theme songs and this is one of the all time best.
You are an American icon right up there with MTM and highly respected ! Your song and her show means so mush to millions of a time that was just so much better and I would run back any time if I could ... Thank you for being a part of American history
Visited the MTM statue yesterday--the Dayton's name is back on the store where the statue stands (she's been moved outdoors again). Got to visit the statue every time I'm downtown Mpls.
has, always, loved the song. It's superb, to see this. When I was a country deejay, in 1980, got to play, many times, another Sonny Curtis masterpiece: "The Real Buddy Holly Story." When I saw the 45, I, instantly, recognise the name. When I played the song, I couldn't believe it was the same singer. He sounded SO different. Instantly, though, loved THAT song, also.

😁Wow! 2019' I looked forward to seeing this sitcom on Tv📺, It was the Melody, Tone, Lyrics and Inspiring Vocals of (Sonny) that captivated my tiny ears👏👏👏👏👏, just knowing (2019) whom the artist is and Great choice of Agent & Producer decision 👍of The Mary Tyler Moore show!!💕 This song is One of many Classic Tv Theme Songs!! Thanks for Sharing!👍
I loved this show. I was in my after 10 yrs old and early teens. Tweens? Anyway, classic. Those days were far different than the days we live in now. I think that's why baby boomers are more grounded. We were raised in a different time.
I came across Mr Curtis in a London club in the 70's. The Crickets were the guest band. It was early afternoon in the club which was empty at the time and I spotted a solitary figure stood at the bar. It was Sonny Curtis. I was allowed in the club at any time being a friend of the resident band. I could hardly miss an opportunity to meet a musical legend so I sidled up to him and said hello. I gushed like an adolescent schoolgirl saying how much I enjoyed his music and telling him he was a musical legend and a founder member of rock and roll along with Buddy Holly and it was a pleasure to meet him...He completely blanked me and turned away. It taught me a hard lesson though, never meet your heroes, it's likely to disappoint.
Love you, Sonny, m'man! I'm so very happy to see you receive such recognition for this and your many other successes... "I Fought the Law".... "The Real Buddy Holly Story"...
Wow he sounds incredible 50 years after he recorded it. Beautiful song and uplifting lyrics
Unbelievable!! He sounds great
A memory of Buddy
Throwing my beret up in the air in appreciation!
My mom was born in 1938 and could’ve been a Mary Tyler Moore stand in. Her show, and this song always reminds me of her. She passed in 2010 of cancer.
Oh, I am so sorry 💔
This song is nothing short of ICONIC
I got teary eyed I always watched Mary Tyler Moore on Nick at Night as a kid. Classic
This song should be played everyday for everyone to hear to start their day. ☺
So true!!♡
It gives me hope.
I have it set as my wake up alarm on my phone.
Sounded perfect even with an acoustic guitar, I grew up watching the Mary Tyler Moore show during my youth..That is the perfect written song. If Mary Tyler Moore can do it, we can do it too.
What a great song, reminds me of my youth watching Mary Tyler Moore. Had a big crush on her even as a very small boy.
everything about that show was magic and full of love, including of course this song, mary was indeed a magical person who could turn the world on with her smile.
I am SO GLAD I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s we had the BEST OF TIMES IN AMERICA ... I cry thinking how bad I want to do it all over again .. it was the best years of our life’s
I remember my brother liking this show.. RIP little brother 😢❤
Mary Tyler Moore was absolutely adorable.
Definitely my favorite TV theme song!!! Thank God they went to him. Thanks, Sonny!
First time I heard it all the way through. Wonderful.
Such a down to earth type of guy. Awesome song.

He's still alive you dolt.
Oh no, Sonny Curtis is still alive.
That's a beautiful song and one of the best TV show themes of all time💯
Still flawless. What a beautiful voice.
I freaking love this song.
Had the privilege to hear Sonny sing this when the Crickets were opening the shows for Waylon Jennings. I think that was in 82.
The more I listen to Sonny Curtis the more I REALLY like him.
Check the youngin' in the foreground right beating it out
Just a great, great song!
Makes one wish it were longer.
I’m an emotionally strong man but this song stirs my emotions and brings a tear.
even at 80 sunny Curtis still has it / rip marry Tyler more
Love the man too bits😊 He deserves loads more regonition for his talent over the past decades. Could listen to him all day!
Just wonderful Sonny! Loved hearing this.
Boy! He is ‘Superb’ wished his songs were longer though 👌

Sonny was one of the original Crickets with Buddy Holly. A very talented song writer from Meadow, Texas.
Just saw this for the first time today. Really amazing guy and great song! Thank you Sonny!
I love this song
Could listen to him all day😊
What a talented man.
Wish Mary Taylor Moore get to see this video and see Sonny Curtis. Goodbye, Mary Taylor Moore.
Thanks Sonny, one of the most recognisable tunes in television
A terrific singer and songwriter, very underrated.
What a great song.
I just want to say this song is heavenly, absolutely blessed. The first 9 notes are incredible. I’m a huge fan❤❤❤❤❤
They should have him sing the full version on the next Emmy show as a tribute to Mary.
Steven Patrick Stone great idea
Totally agree
So yes !!!
Such a great idea!!
I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
@@liz326522 Or at the next TV Hall of Fame ceremony regarding Mary.
I liked it with "You MIGHT JUST make it......."
Fantastic. Watching here in Ireland 🇮🇪.
I am proud to call him my friend!
The kid trying to get the ketchup out the bottle made me burst out laughing, love it, great music.
That just makes it SO much better !!
Bravo!

Love to hear that song at the beginning.
I loved this show. I was in my after 10 yrs old and early teens. Tweens? Anyway, classic. Those days were far different than the days we live in now. I think that's why baby boomers are more grounded. We were raised in a different time.
The Best Television Theme Song Ever...
Didn't know it falls in the "COUNTRY MUSIC" category, I love country. FYI.❤
That opening riff is deep

It was early afternoon in the club which was empty at the time and I spotted a solitary figure stood at the bar. It was Sonny Curtis.

It taught me a hard lesson though, never meet your heroes, it's likely to disappoint.
Best theme song ever!
such a relaxing voice :)
Great to hear this songwriting legend at work. 'Straight Life' anyone?.. Brilliant. Thank you for uploading.
Love you, Sonny, m'man!
I'm so very happy to see you receive such recognition for this and your many other successes... "I Fought the Law".... "The Real Buddy Holly Story"...
He also wrote "A Fool Never Learns" sung by Andy Williams.
I am crying...
Is that okay..
Peace 2023
I had to chuckle, when he sings "Love is all around, no need to waste it" at 2:12 the kid is dumping ketchup onto his plate. LOL
Magical Song for a Mystical charachter!
