Special Thanks to

CBS Entertainment

Track List: 

1. Main Theme - "Melancholy Serenade"

Note:

    Gleason was not a trained musician. When "writing" music, he would dictate it to someone who could read and write musical notation. He used this song as his theme song, and his own recording of it is deeply rooted in the memory of all of us who ever watched his TV show. It was recorded as a vocal perhaps no more than twice.
