I'm probably firing a shot in the dark here, but I WAS WATCHING a dvd OF THE SHOW FROM 1966 and I noticed the theme music used at the end of the show. Wish I could upload it. But it had a Motown feel to it and I was wondering if anyone knew the title of this instrumental and if it was indeed Motown or recorded somewhere else in Detroit?

Kam...I can still hear that song in my head after all these years. Like you said, it was a lively instrumental with a Motown feel. IIRC it was called "Old Man, Young Man" or "Young Man, Old Man" don't ask me why I remember this.

Hi Gary. Swingin' Time had several themes over the years. But that one was distinctive because it sounded like Motown--like a Vandellas or Supremes tune or maybe something a little similar to Mickey's Monkey.
