John Sebastian (Welcome Back Kotter Theme) Then & Now! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The popular theme song, "Welcome Back", written and recorded by former Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian, became a #1 hit in the spring of 1976. The show was originally going to be called Kotter, but that was changed because of the theme song lyrics. Sebastian has said he tried to find a more general theme for the song after being unable to find any reasonable rhymes for Kotter.

He's barely aged a bit. He looks great.

I'm sure most musicians who got their start in the 1960's don't look nearly as good today as John Sebastian does! He really has aged well!
