#WHO WROTE KNIGHT RIDER THEME SONG TV#

The vocal melody is memorable, and the words seem meaningful and possibly even spiritual. The song is called 'Taxi Cab Confessions (Sign of the Times),вЂќ and it's a highly idiosyncratic personal meditation about self-searching and soul-searching. The album, which runs only twenty-six minutes, starts with an excerpt of a conversation between Dick Cavett and Sly Stone that seems to suggest the benefits of personal fortitude: 'In order to get to it, you gotta go through it,' Sly says, and Cavett parries with 'Who said that? Was it Emerson?' What follows is loopier than anything from Sly or Emerson: the instrumental theme to the late-seventies sitcom 'Taxi,' over which CeeLo sings entirely new lyrics.

Elsewhere,вЂќ and a few years later the duo released a follow-up titled 'The Odd Couple.' Then, last week, without any advance notice, CeeLo released an online mini-album called вЂњTV on the RadioвЂќ which upped the ante on both songs about TV and songs about mental disarrangement. That first Gnarls Barkley album was also one of the early examples of CeeLoвЂ™s obsession with television, or at least with television-themed titles.

CeeLo had been exploring the seam of hip-hop and soul before then, but that song marked the birth of a new style in which he used his powerful, gospel-tinged vocals to perfect a kind of extroverted introversion-it's a song about mental disarrangement and self-doubt sung proudly and loudly for maximum entertainment value.ДЄs an act of psychological and pop-cultural provocation, CeeLo GreenвЂ™s вЂњTV on the RadioвЂќ is both extreme and effective. But he's probably most famous (or most justifiably famous) for 'Crazy,' a collaboration with Danger Mouse that was released under the name Gnarls Barkley and became a massive global hit back in 2006. CeeLo started out, in the nineties, in the Dirty South hip-hop group Goodie Mob, and he had one of the most gleefully profane singles in recent memory with 'Fuck You' (or, if you'd prefer, 'Forget You'), in 2010. He's a poster boy for poor judgment much of the time, and yet those other two aspects of his personality don't disappear as his behavior gets worse. I remember reading what I'm sure must have been your post, but when I did a Google I couldn't find it.I should preface this by saying that I have never seen вЂњThe Voice,вЂќ so my idea of CeeLo Green is based entirely on his long history of superb singing, his outsized and flamboyant persona, and his problematic personal behavior. That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum. Underwood and Mike Lang were also using the Prophet 5 at the time so I'm pretty sure it saw some use on the show as well. Phillips didn't explicitly mention the OB-X and Minimoog but I do know that Ian Underwood used to use both synths at the time (he also had a Rhodes chroma but that might have been a year or so later). I can tell you that the 16th note figure that opens the theme was played by Ralph Grierson and was not sequenced, but played live.' Three of the players on the date were Ralph Grierson, Mike Lang and Ian Underwood. I cannot recall all of the instruments that were utilized, but I'm certain that Roland, Oberheim, Moog were among some of instruments used. 'There were four synthesizer players on the KR theme session.

I probably had a CS80 as well as a Rhodes Chroma.'

Here's what Grierson said: ' I had a Jupiter 8 for the basic sequence type sound which I did play live. I got the info from Stu Phillips, and Ralph Grierson has confirmed to me that he did play the 'arpeggiated' riff live using a Jupiter-8. Hopefully someone can provide a link to an interview or something to back this up.That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum. I think the main riff was Jupiter 8 and other synths were Prophet 5, OBX, CS-80 and Minimoog? I remember reading, possibly on another forum, that the score was performed live by multiple keyboard players.
