$100,000 Name That Tune (February 23, 1978) - Karen Rockmin plays for the big money!
Ойын-сауық
I don't know about you, but I'd say the very peak of Name That Tune was when it had the Mystery Tune for winners of the Golden Medley. It had so much excitement and atmosphere going for it, particularly this season with Kathie Lee Johnson/Gifford only adding to the fun.
Case in point, this episode. Here, Karen Rockmin is all set to go for the hundred grand in her mystery tune. Meanwhile, two other contestants are vying for the chance to be in that same position. Will any of them succeed in their endeavors?

Hey...$100,000 was a LOT back then...so leave it to Ralph Edwards I guess to really drive the point home.
After being accustomed to the final 3 seasons on NTT (I was between 3-5 years old then), this was a totally different version than the one that I'm more familiar with.
Man that TV is sweet AND it's color
I got Born free. He had good strategy. He probably didn't know the song. The great thing about these old game shows, is the history. You get to she clothing styles, commercials and more.
He did another game show in the 70's called "You Don't Say". My mom took me to see them film that, it was pretty cool. I thought we were seeing one show but they filmed a whole week of shows in one night.
I did Shazam this - no results found :-) This is truly a fun game show

I believe this was a few months before NTT was overhauled, with Stan Worth & the NTT Band replacing Tommy Oliver & his Orchestra, singers Monica Burruss and Steve March (the latter being the son of singer Mel Torme) were added, the former replacing original solo singer (and future-turned-former LIVE co-host Kathie Lee Gifford (nee Epstein)). An additional band, Dan Sawyer & the Sound System, was also included. Also, if I'm not mistaken, many of the NBC O&O stations dropped Name That Tune after the 1977-78 season before the ABC O&O stations, an example being my station, WABC-TV Channel 7 New York, picked up the series for the remainder of its syndicated run.
