Davis Jr., Sammy - Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow (Baretta's Theme) Lyrics

👊❤🤩❤👊

Blast from the past. I remember watching the series but not the series itself. He had a bird... named Fred?

BE TOTALLY FOCUSED ON THE TARGET OR GOAL.

Television crime show theme songs used to be the best! Baretta, Starsky and Hutch, Rockford Files, S.W.A.T., Mission Impossible, Hawaii Five-O, etc.

@throughthefire Mannix,Streets of San Francisco,Cannon,etc.

❤ serie y musica de mi infancia

The band killed it. Perfect song.

La primer serie de mi infancia inolvidable música de intro

"Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt!"

.....Way better than the Shaft theme! R.I.P. Sammy!!!!👍🇺🇸👏

Back when Star Wars was just one movie

x white collar criminal

Oh shit..

The beginning was used in Kris's Kross song " I missed the bus"

don't beat the meat on the toilet seat oh no no no don't do it.

Any tune with cowbell has my supreme approval !!!

Dublörün dilemması

Dont do me dirt or your gonna get HURT!!!

I remember the ol grey ghost :)

Glad to be a 70's Kid!
Great TV Shows, Films & Music!
Baretta used to come on Wednesday Nights after The Bionic Woman & Before Starsky & Hutch on ABC in Los Angeles!
Talk about a Great Line up!

'DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME'...Timeless

Coolness 😎

baretta an his cacatua bird

The ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT Song
DON'T DO IT!

was that Fred at :07?

the 70s were the greatest

The HOTTEST intro on television!

Sammie Davis Jr did it with this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Golden years....! ❤️

So Cool! 😎

Wow what a song, lots of soul, funk and feeling. Topclass. Love it.

In mid '70s in Buenos Aires every Tuesday night after "The Six Milion Dollar Man" on Canal 7

Good advice to stay out of JAIL!

According to Roman Polanski, it should be "Do the crime, don't do the time".

Loved that song since its introduction in the 70s!!!!!

.....don't do it !

Keep your eye on the sparrow

This is still the most rhythmic and funkiest theme song in tv history. Great memories of the 70’s even in 2019; gets a thumbs up. 👍🏾

boihardwareonyutube the absolute best comment on this thread

How bout the theme from Swat which I believe The Rhythm Heritage did also!!!

Very nice

Q talento de voz serie de culto

This is about as killer theme as you can get. That percussion...... those vocals. That tune.......

🎶Sha-boing-boing-BOING!!!🎶

Love this show - good memories

Love it.....

12 dislikers dont have their 👀 s on the sparrow

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

hell yeah

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time....

This is Tony Baretta's soul.

Classic baby!!!!

Anyone else here from MFM?

Excellent vocals! I love how Sammy's voice rises with beautiful vibratto when he sings, "Keep your eye... On the sparrow." Listen to how he holds the word "eye" so well that you don't want it to ever end!

Indeed!!!

MuscleHustle , the man knew how to get down!

Judge finds Robert Blake innocent

bill Slattery , case closed, but it's the jury who found him "not guilty."

Still got this on vinyl

Too fantastic!

Blessed to have been a child of the seventies!

I know, right? Baretta, Starksy and Hutch, The Rookies, Barnaby Jones.

Susan Sexton yes right on I can dig it.

You are a beautiful woman, Susan! Thank you very much!!

Straight banging

Love it! The EPIC '70s!

Is anyone else here because of Mitchell?

...eye on the sammich...

Best TV Show Theme Song......ever.

Name of the Game was good too and Ironsides but yeah, this one is aces

This music gave me goose-bumps when I was young back in the seventies.

One of the Rarest icon music hit Shows series of all Time classics
........How I miss this So much. **

La serie de mi infancia; que infancia..... T Baretta por las calles de S. Francisco E.U.A

Baretta trabajaba in Los Angeles, CA.

I always loved this song. Sammy was a treat!

mannix?

Sammy Davis jr. can sing anything from the Candy Man to Mr. Bojangles to the Baretta theme song.

Plus dress up as a priest and roll around in a Ferrari with Dean Martin in "Cannonball Run."

Did Sammy do the original theme music for Baretta, or is this "just" a cover? I haven't heard it since childhood.

Daisy Jane Sammy did it

This is his song, the one and only Sammy Davis jr. ❤

EXCELENTE

I still think that Robert Blake is innocent he didnt kill his wife

Gullible

(whispers) “Mitchell’s on the corner...”

“Mitchell!”

Absolutely loved Baretta.....this is what I was watching when the black out of 1977 happened. :) Loved growing up in the 70's

Tony Baretta was THE man !!!!

@StevenC32 Those were the days.

@sandy david You were living in NYC when that happen? So was I. Interesting time to be living in NYC The blizzard of '77, the blackout of '77, and the Son of Sam murders of '77. Graffiti on the subway cars, high crime rate, bankruptcy, trash piling up due to the sanitation strikes. The XXX rated movie theaters Porn along 8th avenue. And Fun times.

Absolutely LOVED BARETTA 💛... Watched with my Dad

Sam is the man! Son of a gun never ceased to reinvent himself.

masterpiece music horns and all the jingle jingles this is music you can't fuck with because it puts you into a deep dark hustling mode

this damn song makes me want to find my thin black quarter length leather jacket and hustle the Milwaukee streets. THE 70S when the beer was cold and the cars were fast

“Deep dark hustling mode”
Best comment ever written

I used to listen to this song on my way to bed when I was a kid. Thanks for this!

Great respect for Sammy and Robert

Memories. Memories. Thanks for posting!

GOOD MEMORIES

The Greatest Entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. - and you can take that to the Bank

+James smitten Of AAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME !!!!!

I love that cat!

Ouch you crazy cat 😛

Good old days Baretta

Brilliant !

Dont role the dice if cant pay the price

Ricardo Moreno , great advice, especially when we're in the big city.

Don't do the crime if you ain't got the time ...

Trend setta , great advice! However, too many guys blunder by never following it.

@sandinyourshoes Exactly .... GOD Bless Them ....

Trend setta, this music makes me feel that many guys will reform when they do the time for the crime.

Dont do the crime if you cant the time

Robert Blake did the crime but didn't have to do the time!

+Johnny Wadd YESS good for Robert ;-)

He did pay the time

Thats right dont do the crime if you can't do the time

@Johnny Wadd But he paid the price (civil case)

Beautiful 70's

What a great decade for cop and detective dramas.
