Subject: RE: Origins: Theme Song: This Is Your Life TV Show
Joe, That is not possible, unless we are talking about 2 different theme songs. I went to a summer camp in 1954, called Camp Maple Lake in Livingston Manor, N.Y. During colorwar, each team had a competetive sing, and one of the songs that was judged was a camp alma mater song. I was on the green team that year and our song was done to the melody of "You'll Never Walk Alone". We lost because the white team did their song to the tune of the theme song from "This Is Your Life" which was a much more beautiful melody. So I know that the tune was around at least since 1954. Maybe they changed to a different theme song in 1962. Can anyone verify this ? SOL ZELLER
