Wow gives me chills listening to this. Reminds me of when I would be at my grandmas house just layin on the floor watching this in the morning. Life was so simple. RIP grandma
Same ... I liked Sally Jesse Rapheal’s theme better tho lol.. my mom would be UP Watching these talk shows , along with that Young & the Restless...1989/1990ish right around Kindergarten was Gold .
This music was composed by Don Gray (Robbie Douglas from My Three Sons Tv Show) after he left the show to devote his time to music... Good thing he did
I'm here.. DONAHUE brought me here. Used to watch this a long time on WMC-TV (NBC affiliate) in Memphis years ago whenever I had the day off from school.
@@nickbeebe7386 oh yeah, i can dig it. Though, I did hear this oft-repeated phrase of parents and grand parents alike "shut up! I'm tryin' to watch my stories!"
Cable tv was new to india ,when this show was being telecasted ,but I clearly remember the music of this ,santa Barbara and bold and beautiful all were on saxophone .
I've always loved this theme for Donahue. I looked for a full version of this song for years and here it is. Love it. Has so much soul. R.I.P Mr. Donahue. You will never be forgotten sir. This song is fire!
Along with game shows, pro wrestling, cartoons and Broadcast tv programs and this the Phil Donahue show. Were a staple of our childhood growing up in the 80s and 90s. Long version of this theme is great. Thanks PHIL
Phil Donahue and Mike Douglas put the daytime talk show genre on the map. There are no daytime talk shows without these legends. Oprah Winfrey is right there too.
This was the final year if the longest running talk show The Phil Donahue Show As WNBC knocked out of the program schedule til September of 1996 before Phil Donahue Took The Final Bow 2 Weeks Later. Phil Donahue was 88 years old.
Listening to this Reminds me of when I was watching the show in the morning with my mom and dad. the greatest theme of the Donahue show. Thank You Phil for the greatest American show of all time
Wow! For me this is the nostalgic sound of the early 90s. Love it. Sorry, I can't even remember what Oprah's or Sally's theme music sounded like....but I know for sure Donahue's music is the BEST.
Couldn’t believe it when I heard this, I was living in NY and Chicago in the early to mid 90s and always wanted to go to a taping of the show and was always too busy working! I met Phil once and he was absolutely charming and happy to talk
Rest In Peace Phil Donahue 😢🕊 You were a pioneer in daytime television. I watched your show every day. I was so proud when you were taping your show in my hometown Chicago. And then you moved on to the Big Apple New York. You will never be forgotten.🤍
I just watched one episode of this last week and for some reason can't get this tune out of my head. I'm from UK and vaguely remember this show from when I was young. Cool tune!
I LITERALLY TEAR UP EVERY TIME I HEAR IT, JUST BY THE THOUGHT OF HOW RAPID OUR LIFE HAS PASSED US BY. IF I WAS SITTING AS A PASSENGER WITH YOU I WOULD NEED A HANDKERCHIEF AS YOU ARE CRUISING
Dont like Phil's Politics but I took my Mom years ago to meet Phil When he did AM Philadelphia live at 10 in the morning and he was a great guy and made my Mom really happy when he posed for pictures with us. GREAT GUY.
This is just like the former Seven Network television studios in Epping, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. And imagine if Sally Bowrey, Mel McLaughlin, Angela Cox, Gemma Acton, Kylie Gillies & Samantha Armytage all heard this TV theme tune!
RIP. No television personality on American television ever delighted and educated the public more. In this day of bias, twisted information, carefully curated "facts," and the careful non-reporting of critical information, people like Donahue are just nowhere to be found.
THink the one from the 70's showing footage of Chicago with the title swirling around was the best. Should have been kept though it wouldn't sounded out of place later on.
@@alexshatner3907 it is a really heartearming theme and so fitting for the clever lede that Donahue was. I love Donahue and the way he hosted his show. So well spoken and just gripping. He just drew sighters in.

In the 90s, your daytime TV theme wasn't a theme unless it had a bunch of sax!
That’s right!
Those shows were full of sax and violins.
Yes!
yeah even the WWF wrestling ;)

A masterpiece. RIP Phil Donahue.
Thanks Don Grady for composing this timeless song
RIP to him.
I wonder how much he was paid…Barry Manilow did lots of themes/jingles
The don Grady isn’t the same that was on my 3 sons is he?
@@nickylax9023Yes.
This brings me back to a time when life was so simple and times were good
Yep totally. Our grandparents made it that way

My childhood right here. Mom watched her "shows"
J Porter Haha exactly... mom sitting on the couch watching either Donahue, or Geraldo, or Morton Downey Jr. while folding clothes.
With my mom, it was always Donahue or Oprah. That's when I either went to my bedroom to play with my toys, or to go outside.
@@newstarcadefan same but different my mom watched both Donahue and Oprah when she was pregnant with me .

Rest well Mr Phil Donahue! 😌🕊️☁️✨
Phil Donahue was so ahead of his time
Rest in peace Phil. We used to watch him in my home county Zimbabwe in 90s. Always had a thing for this theme melody.
He was a nice person and never yelled at people 😊

R.I.P to the great phil donahue the 🐐 of daytime 📺

All of the "Donahue" theme songs were great in their own way. I really liked the 1979-85 version the most. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Wo me too, I get the chills when I hear it and "Love Boat theme"
RIP Phil Donahue
This and the weather channel music during the 90s man can't beat it!
Rest in peace, Phil Donahue 😢😢

Please dont put Ophra in the same category she was a bum.
This song is still 🔥 in 2020!
In 2024 still too!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still slaps.
Phil Donahue and Mike Douglas are the pioneers of Daytime Talk. If it wasn't for Donahue and Douglas, there would not be daytime talk shows at all.
The guy that started it all. And best talk show theme.
This was my all-time theme song of the early 90s!!
Me too. Didn’t know it at the time but it sure has stayed in my mind
I LITERALLY TEAR UP EVERY TIME I HEAR IT, JUST BY THE THOUGH OF HOW OUR LIFE HAS PASSED BY SO FAST
Sounded great the bass is on point the show was too cool for the 90s !!!!!
This was the final year if the longest running talk show The Phil Donahue Show As WNBC knocked out of the program schedule til September of 1996 before Phil Donahue Took The Final Bow 2 Weeks Later. Phil Donahue was 88 years old.

Back in the day, "Donahue" aired Weekdays at 9a on my home station: WDVM-TV (now WUSA-TV CBS 9) in Washington, DC
The logo shown here is from Phil's 2002 interview series on MSNBC.
I liked that show watched alot of daytime shows that was one of them.

Rip.Mr Phil Donahue!!!❤🌹❤🌹🙏🙏
Feed this 80s ish right INTO MY VEINS
90s actually
This is just like the former Seven Network television studios in Epping, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. And imagine if Sally Bowrey, Mel McLaughlin, Angela Cox, Gemma Acton, Kylie Gillies & Samantha Armytage all heard this TV theme tune!
We learned a lot about life by watching the Phil Donahue Show
this tune is the tune of the 80s
The 90s actually
Donahue never seems to age.
Haha! That’s not a recent photo in the video. I’m sure he’s all wrinkly and full of sun spots now that he’s 89 or so
Robbie from the tv show my three sons composed this.
musicof70s cody was actually Don Grady (Don Agrati) aka Robbie from My Three Sons
It was actually Don Grady who played Robbie on My Three Sons
Yes, he did...Don Grady.
Is this smooth jazz??
Craig Foye 🎶🎷🎶🎷🎶 Yep😎
@@MJ-lf3tr wow Dam Thanks For That inside!!!👊💪👍😎
SONG JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD AT 4AM….
Sounds like a Quincy Jones joint lol. 💯
Knowing the history of the white man, it prolly is quincy jones on the beat
That would be Oprah's theme around this time: ruclips.net/video/GJA5sO8MqYw/видео.html
@@ualreadyknow9746 No, it was Don Grady from "My Three Sons", actually.
Love this theme song! 😁🎷🎷🎷
A guy who took the material seriously. The format has been junked up ever since.
RIP to the man who gote through the sick days from school
Hmmm 🤔 Why does the thumbnail time say 4:46 but when you click on the video the time is 3:07? Very interesting 🤔
I'm dancing!!!
I'm back on the day of Phil's death and I'm still dancing!!!
One ever like Phil.
RIP. No television personality on American television ever delighted and educated the public more. In this day of bias, twisted information, carefully curated "facts," and the careful non-reporting of critical information, people like Donahue are just nowhere to be found.
A lot of people didn't like the theme, but I thought it was really cool. The saxophone played a big part.
Who played the super sax on this classic? That's what I wanna know
Lovely!
THink the one from the 70's showing footage of Chicago with the title swirling around was the best. Should have been kept though it wouldn't sounded out of place later on.

Rest in peace Phil Donahue
Donahue Weekdays at 9:00 am on WLWT Cincinnati 😂
