Musical Interlude: Believe it or Not (Theme From The Greatest American Hero)(1981)

 The Greatest American Hero had ended its first season before its theme song, "Believe it or Not", was released as a single, days before ye scribe graduated from high school. Joey Scarbury hit #2 on the Hot 100 just 2 months later, and the last we knew, he'd co-written & recorded the theme to the 1983 Ann Jillian fantasy-com, Jennifer Slept Here (co-written by Jillian).

This video has rarely been seen, such that this was the first time I ran across it.


I think Scarbury was blocked from the top spot by either Kim Carnes ("Bette Davis' Eyes") or Olivia Newton-John ("Physical").
