Wheel of Fortune prize cue question
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:34:21 AM »
It seems that the majority of cues used on Wheel of Fortune from 1983-1989 were culled from Merv Griffin's musical releases, such as "Escape" and "As Time Goes By."  One cue in particular that I've always wondered about (and, to my knowledge, has yet to be unearthed) is the jazzy number that usually accompanied bonus round prize reveals.  

Here's a clip where you can here the cue to which I'm referring:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcPV1bCUyzo

Does anyone know the name of this track, and if Merv ever released it commercially (assuming he wrote it)?

I've wanted to find this one as well, and TVPMM has been of no help. So, I'd like to second Justin's request...

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

And the third (the one mentioned plus the first one that Jack describes)...
