Can anybody tell me the songs and singers that were heard during the 7 seasons of Family Ties because i'd like to make myself a FT soundtrack. Thanks pals

One song in the episode with Alex and Ellen at the train station was "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and The Beaters. There's also the theme song. I'm not sure who sings the theme song, but I know it's called "Without Us".

SpinCT · 10-06-2002, 04:07 PM

Yeah, I remember this songs on FT:

-At this moment (of course!)
-Without Us
-When I was seventeen (Frank Sinatra)
-Turn Turn Turn (Byrds)

and some song by Bob Dylan once. But i'm sure there are another songs because I never saw seasons 5, 6 and 7 so if you remember, it would be nice to tell me

Thank you very much!!!! This is a GREAT help!!!!! I'm very happy! Just a last thing: who sung the Sweet Lorraine song on the episode where Alex dated a 40 year old woman?

MBFTfan · 10-07-2002, 03:53 AM

wow,Rudy and Kenny4eva, you remembered a lot, but want to add a few things, I'm sorry if I sound nitpicky, but I'm really just trying to help.

Places I remember(john lennon)-steven and elyse

Actually, the song is called "In My Life" (and sung beautifully by Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, I have to say this is my favorite of all musical performances on this show)

Quote:

New York New York (dunno that either)-alex

Its by Frank Sinatra

Quote:

Eddie my love(bob dylan maybe))-steven and elsye

I actually don't know who this is by, but seeing as its a 50's doo-wop song, its definitely NOT by Bob Dylan.

Quote:

The song is called "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and was recorded by several artists, most notably Frank Sinatra.

Also, in the episode, "Lady Sings the Blues" Elyse sings
"The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan
"If I had A Hammer" by Peter, Paul and Mary
"Where Have All the Flowers Gone" which I believe is an old French folk song, recorded by many, most beautifully(I think) by Joan Baez
"This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie
In the episode where Ritchie Scofield visits, they play a recording of him singing "Man of Constant Sorrow" which I believe is also an old blues/folk song
They sing I'm a Little Teapot,lol, when Elyse finds out she's pregnant, and there are also the songs performed by Jennifer's band.
Okay, that's enough for now, I won't go on any longer.

I don't know how to thank you guys this is very nice of you.

Crimson and Clover · 10-07-2002, 04:04 PM

Eddie My Love is originally done by the Chordettes.

SpinCT · 10-07-2002, 04:12 PM

If you remember more songs on the show, don't hesitate to tell on this topic!! thanks

MBFTfan · 10-08-2002, 04:13 PM

When they have flashbacks to when Stephen and Elyse were in college, "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan is played in the background, and once I think they played "Mr. Tambourine Man", the version by The Byrds, although Bob Dylan recorded it too. And in the episode where they go to Atlantic City, Stephen and Elyse were singing "Under the Boardwalk" by The Drifters. There are several recordings of Sweet Lorraine, when its played on the show, Alex says its by Duke Ellington, but that might be hard to find. I know that Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra recorded it too.

Brad Russ · 10-13-2002, 05:19 PM

In the my name is Alex episode Alex sings Light My Fire by the Doors. Also in the episode with Eddie Dupree Andy sings a song called Baby Please Don't Go, i'm not sure who sings it though. Also I don't think anyone mentioned when Elyse sang Blowin in the wind, And of course you can't forget when Lauren sang the banana boat song. Which of course was recorded by Harry Belafonte. That's all I can think of for now, but if I think of anymore i'll be sure to post them.
