  Update 3/23/2026: Ted Nichols has sadly passed away at the age of 97.<br><br>I tried my best to contact him throughout the years and even while making this video, but to no avail. As far as I know, his last public interview was in 2013, and I can only hope that he knew how much people loved his music. He will be sorely missed.<br><br>If I refer to him as alive in this documentary, please understand that it was completed 4 years ago. <br><br>Rest in Peace.

  The musical underscore of &quot;Top Cat&quot; had a Gershwin-like quality to it.

  I am still loving this Emmy-worthy documentary after 1 year. And it always gets me singing: <br>&quot;Make your hubby happy. <br>Keep your hubby happy. <br>When he&apos;s a little chubby, <br>He&apos;s a happy pappy. <br>With Rockenschpeel!&quot;

  Excellent CartoonCade. &nbsp;I am playing in the studio orchestra on the scoring sessions for some of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, 1969-1971. &nbsp;I played flute, piccolo, clarinet and alto sax on &quot;Dastardley and Muttley And Their Flying Machines&quot;, &quot;The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop&quot;, &quot;Harlem Globe Terotters&quot;., Josie and the Pussy Cats&quot;, &quot;Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?&quot; and &quot;Help...It&apos;s The Hair Bear Bunch&quot;. &nbsp;I was studying with composer Ted Nichols for those years, and he let me write come cues for Harlem Globe Trotters.

  I cannot tell you how much I love Hoyt Curtin&apos;s work. I was fortunate enough to buy Hanna-Barbera Pic-a-Nic Basket when it was first released and spent countless hours listening to those tracks. &nbsp;I later tracked down the Soundtrack to Battle of the Planets which was also done by Hoyt and equally amazing. Nice job on the video.
