I always thought the JLC theme song has a Vinnie flair to it. The JLC theme song "You Look at Me" actually dates back to Happy Days Season 8 Episode 12, IIRC. Truly feel like kicking my own ass for even knowing that.

Vinnie was a staff writer. A staff writer for music, would be treated no different than a staff writer for scripts of staff writer for jokes. They would get no credit for their work.

Still, it must have been an amazing experience for Vinnie. All of Vinnie's numerous issues put aside, Vinnie was an amazing songwriter.

interesting i thought that too re the jlc theme

as a ballad and within the context of the show i think it has a sad tinge about it - the way joanie looks at chachie when shes singing it she looks very into him.. anyhoo enough jlc intro analysis :)

would be cool if their were any pics out of there of vinnie ok the set around that period, tho unlikely i guess given the designation of the job

Based on what Scott said on Howard Stern many years back, they were an item back then, but it ended with a lot of hurt on her part.

As a little kid, both shows were great in helping a little musician build a decent musical foundation. The exposure to 50's music in Happy Days was great.
