DAN BOLTON said:I'm thinking of the instrumental version that featured an organ lead. It was featured prominently in the first episode of MAD MEN on AMC, at the end of the show. The timeline for the series is 1960; and I figured the song was popular then, but I've also heard that it wasn't recorded until 1964; although it may have been written in the late '40's. I'm a little confused.

Now that many of those stores like Media Play are now defunct, the best place for me to "shop" for music is iTunes. However, they don't exactly have the best selection of pre-'70s artists...
Anybody out there have any ideas???
Thanks,

Mike Blakesley said:That made me think of "Tubular Bells," the theme from The Exorcist. ALways liked that one, along with "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk. I couldn't ever get thru the whole album versions of either one of those though!
