Seattle (song)
"Seattle" is a song with music composed by Hugo Montenegro and lyrics written by Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon. It was used as the theme for the 1968-70 ABC-TV U.S. television show Here Come the Brides.[1]
Performances
Late in the show's first season, singer Perry Como recorded a version of the song, which became a Top 40 hit for him on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts during the spring of 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.[citation needed]
Two different versions were used on the television series, for both of which Montenegro conducted an in-studio orchestra: the first was instrumental; and the second was vocal, with lyrics sung by a musical team called "The New Establishment".[citation needed]
"Seattle" is sung by the Seattle Sounders FC's supporter group, the Emerald City Supporters during matches, specifically at the kickoff of each half.[2]
