Name That Tune

Name That Tune was a game show that put two contestants against each other to test their knowledge of songs. Originally premiering in the United States in the early 1950s, the best-remembered version aired once a week in syndication from 1974 to 1981 with host Tom Kennedy. Another version aired weeknights during 1984 and '85, hosted by Jim Lange; this version was heavily rerun on cable TV for almost a decade. Both versions included an orchestra conducted by veteran bandleader Tommy Oliver (musician). These versions were both titled The $100,000 Name That Tune.
