[edit] Reason for revert
Although Todd Rundgren did contribute to the show's musical score, he did NOT sing the theme song. That actually was Del Shannon's voice. The voice sounded different because he was in his 50's when he re-recorded the song for Crime Story
The fact that Del himself re-recorded his song for Crime Story can be verified on[1] in the third paragraph form the bottom, and on [2] where Todd Rundgren is credited for SOME of the "non-original music" but Del Shannon and Del Shannon alone is credited with the song. This can also be verified in the show's closing credits (I have the 2 box sets).JeffStickney 11:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction; I've seen Todd credited elsewhere. But, who are you? Trekphiler 03:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Release date for DVD's
I bought the season 1 box set (with a different cover)in 2004. The details for the first release of season 1 can be found at [[3]]. JeffStickney 16:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Could it have been otherwise?
Quote: "The guitar had been given to Kooper by Jimi Hendrix as a gift prior to Hendrix's death."
Now: "prior to Jimi's death" is tautological. Dead men don't give gifts. elpincha 17:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the way it's worded now, it sounds like Hendrix gave Kooper the guitar specifically for recording the soundtrack; which is impossible, since Hendrix died 16 years earlier. Cubs Fan 16:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for the article
1) Saying that Crime story set the mould for television series like 24, Deadwood and Rome that have continuing plots ls laughable as Hill Street Blues, St-Elsewhere and other shows at the time, and there have been countless series between then and the current flavour-of-the-week examples.
2) The article is mostly about the police and crime figures who inspired the series, not the series itself.
3) My memory may be playing me false but didn't some police association at the time criticize the series for showing law enforcement in a bad light?
