Musical Interlude: Three Stars Will Shine Tonight (1962)

 "Three Stars Will Shine Tonight", otherwise known as the theme from Dr. Kildare, peaked at #10 on the Hot 100 for the show's star, Richard Chamberlain, in 1962. Co-written by two of the pre-eminent TV theme composers of the day, Jerry Goldsmith & Pete Rugolo, it was Chamberlain's only real hit on the charts.

There is no documented video footage, so we'll settle for the audio track. MGM's record division released the single.


In memory of Chamberlain, 90, who passed away due to complications from a stroke over the weekend. Rest in peace.
