The “Route 66” instrumental for the 1960s television drama of the same name was originally written and arranged by Nelson Riddle. This version by Billy Vaughn contains subtle differences — especially the backing vocals — but is largely the same.

Nelson Riddle does it better but I do like the vocals in this one, of course I’m a vocalist.
THANKS RON FOR THIS ORIGINAL AND PERFECT ARRANGED THEME OF THE ALWAYS ALIVE IN MY HEART OF THE FAMOUS ROUT 66, I WILL NEVE FORGET
This is very close (minus the vocals) to the show’s soundtrack. The Nelson Riddle 45rpm release was considerably differently arranged. I prefer this version above all.
