I love the shows Daniel Boone and I still watch them when I get a chance too and I have the hat and the jacket to provide . We all love you fess parker even the kids that were my age.
Fun fact: this theme was performed by Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) pioneers The Imperials in 1969 for the 1969-1970 season of the show. At the time, the members of the group were Jim Murray (tenor), Terry Blackwood (lead), Roger Wiles (baritone) and Armond Morales (to this date the only bass singer of the group and still going). CORRECTION: from 2003 to 2010 there was a different bass singer in The Imperials, but in 2006 The Classic Imperials was formed, once again, with Armond Morales as bass.
@@bradthurkle7217 My dad got me started listening to the Imperials, and I only found out about this through Bill Gaither's "Homecoming Radio" Twitter page, if I remember correctly. And I just now realized that I commented using my music collection channel before lol
I love this song! My mother said her my little brother and I were related to Daniel Boone. Oh and my grandma Gaga said that this was one of her favorite songs when she was a kid
I learned about Daniel Boone in social studies this week, and when I heard his name, this song popped into my head and I haven't seen this show in so long, so I decided to listen to this song, which is SO GOOD ☺️
The real Daniel Boone built his coffin and kept it under his bed. From time to time, he'd lay in it to make sure it fit. One day it wouldn't as he'd gained weight, so he built another, bigger coffin.
The song portrayed him as a frontier man “bad ass” but yet he just about busted his ass walking in a knee high stream of water in the opening credits 🤣
He wasn't Jesus there's still pebbles around there that you would stumble on I don't care how big you are or how tough you are mother's nature's arsenals gonna get a little bit of all of us once in a while
@@pepperandzip This guy is literally over analyzing a TV show theme song from the late 60’s. If there isn’t anything dumber or more pointless then that then I don’t know. Daniel Boone and Fess parker were awesome
Liam he’s my 4th great uncle On my moms side, u ever heard of Caleb’s Creek Kentucky, that’s named after my family. But he had like 13 kids and they all had like 8 and so on and so fourth, it might be that we’re distant relatives.
Damn my cousin 9x removed has a town named after him, a tv show (including an epic theme song), and multiple exhibits in multiple museums, AND i’m watching this video from that town.
From what I've read, there were 3 versions of the opening theme, this being the last of them. This version was performed by the Imperials, pioneers in contemporary christian music. The lineup consisted of tenor vocalist Jim Murray, lead vocalist Terry Blackwood, baritone vocalist Roger Wiles, and bass vocalist Armond Morales. Joe Moscheo (their pianist) may or may not have been with them for that recording... I don't really know Joe's voice well enough to tell yet (he also sang at times, meaning that at times the Imperials were essentially a quintet).

When I was a kid, my buddies and I used to interject the word "flex" into the lyrics. As in "Daniel Boone was a man (flex!), yes a big man (flex!) . . ."
Boone's daughter Jemima was kidnapped by an Indian war party from Boone's frontier settlement. He trailed the party for several days back to their village, freed Jemima, was captured while so doing, and tortured -- but impressed the chief (as a white man who'd not only managed to follow close upon Indians without being detected, but showed great toughness under duress) that he was adopted into the latter's own family! Weeks later, hearing that the Indian band was planning another, larger raid on Boonesboro, he escaped the village a day in advance and reached the settlement just in time to warn of the Indians' approach. He then organized his neighbors into a militia that fought off the attack.

I didn't like this version The best one was right when they first went in color It had a banjo opening and a banjo ending absolutely fabulous why they ever change that I'll never understand But they had about 4 different versions It's so funny how the old Western's had such a low tempo for their theme songs But then all of a sudden When color hit around around The Late 60s and the early 70s the tempo on all of these shows changed as if somebody turned a light switch on and it was like wow ! 😮 let's go the theme songs were absolutely spectacular And listening to them you knew you were in for a great adventure on that particular TV show you're watching Back then a lot of thought went into these theme openings These days the show just comes on without any theme music just doesn't feel the same. When I stream old shows it says would you like to skip the opening I never do. Especially the bingo opening for Daniel Boone
I'm sorry, but this composition was probably the worst iteration of this theme song. The tune wasn't bad exactly, but they tried to fit it to the original lyrics in a way that just sounds off. Sorry.
+jaineynzed When the series was made in the 60s, America still had a more idealized picture of the past and in many regards still has. And in this particular worldview Boone is seen as a hero because he fought against those "evul redskins" who tried to take Kentucky back in the chaos of the Revolutionary War. Later in this war he actively fought the British which is probably where this line in the lyrics comes from.
DJDoena thanks for the response, I still think it's bollocks though; whether fighting indigenous to steal land or fighting one colonial power over another, it's still not for 'freedom'. To me it sounds like thinly veiled propaganda.
Oh yeah, because the Indians were SO peaceful. Read up on the Comanche, and then get back to me on that. Both sides were in the wrong. Boone and Crockett at least tried to coexist with the Indians.
I enjoyed watching this series! I even liked singing the "Daniel Boone"theme song ! And I'm still watching this in reruns !
Splitting a tree with a hatchet! Only Daniel Boone can do that
No, I saw Chuck Norris do it once.
cole trickle ... and Chuck Norris
Daniel Boone does not need a gas-powered log splitter.
Truth!
Only 13 channels on TV back then and those shows were and still are better than anything today.
13! We had 4.
Amen!
Correct.
I remember watching this as a kid in the 80's on Saturday morning's Great American Daniel Boone. Happy Birtday Fess Parker. R.I.P.

Me too.
I used to watch this as a kid in the 70's but all i can remember is the theme song. This is also the first time I'm seeing it in colour.
such a noble, beautiful show when times were very different.
Just discovered Daniel was my 6th great grandfather. Fess clips are still here for old timers and descendants!

I was blessed to have watched every episode of this as a 2000s kid, but they never should have changed the song after the 2nd season tbh
I just learned that I am a direct descendent of this guy, so I'm learning about him
Even if it's not exactly a realistic "special effect," I really like that log split. There's something satisfying about it, even today.

Did Boone have to run the gauntlet?
Patricia Blair was gorgeous - in the Rhonda Fleming style.
Wow...
Based on a True American Hero, He warn everyone What sounds Good from a politician is probably BS.
I thought Davey Crockett was the politician? But Fess Parker portrayed both of them...(I think?).
@@donarthiazi2443Fess did portray both Boone and Crockett. Both good shows.

This opening was in the last season, and the song was performed by a gospel group of whom I am a big fan, the Imperials.
