Featured review
I couldn't forget that theme song, either. And now I won't forget it, since I recently located a vinyl copy of the 1970 "Globetrotters" album at a record meet a few weeks ago. I also remembered "Bouncing All Over the World," "Marathon Mary," "Meadowlark," "Cheer Me Up," and the group's only Top 100 single, "Rainy Day Bells" (sadly, it didn't hit the Top 40, despite the genius of Jeff Barry, Neil Sedaka, and Don Kirshner behind it). Warner Bros., if you're reading this, I hope you'll see about putting the "Globetrotters" cartoon on DVD soon, especially since: (1) you've recently released DVD box sets of other Hanna-Barbera cartoon series (e.g. "The Flintstones," "Wacky Races," "The Jetsons," and "Top Cat"); and (2) after hearing the "Globetrotters" songs, I wish I could see the cartoon itself again! And Sony Music Entertainment, if you're likewise reading this, and since you now own Kirshner Records' backlog (Kirshner also had The Archies and Kansas on his label), I hope you'll see about putting the "Globetrotters" album on CD. It'd sure sound better digitally remastered and without scratches, and if Warners should resurrect the cartoon on DVD, then the CD of the "Globetrotters" album would be a perfect complement!
