Seattle

"Seattle" is a song composed by Hugo Montenegro with lyrics by Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon. It was used as the theme for the 1968–1970 ABC-TV United States television show Here Come the Brides, which was set in 19th-century Seattle, Washington. Performances Perry Como and Bobby Sherman versions Late in the show's first season, singer Perry Como recorded a version of the song for his album of the same name, which became a Top 40 hit for him on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in early 1969. One of the stars of Here Come the Brides, pop singer Bobby Sherman, also recorded a version of the song, but his version was never released as a single. Connie Smith also recorded the song that same year on her Connie's Country LP. Series theme versions Two different versions were used as the theme for the television series, for both of which Montenegro conducted an in-studio orchestra: the first was instrumental; and the second was vocal, with its lyrics being sung by a musical team called "The New Establishment."
