Song from the American television series Here Come the Brides

For other uses, see Seattle (disambiguation) § Music.

"Seattle" is a song composed by Hugo Montenegro with lyrics by Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon. It was used as the theme for the 1968–1970 ABC-TV United States television show Here Come the Brides,[1] which was set in 19th-century Seattle, Washington.

## Performances

[edit]

### Perry Como and Bobby Sherman versions

[edit]

Late in the show's first season, singer Perry Como recorded a version of the song for his album of the same name, which became a Top 40 hit for him on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts and number 37 in Canada in early 1969.[2] One of the stars of Here Come the Brides, pop singer Bobby Sherman, also recorded a version of the song, but his version was never released as a single.[citation needed] Connie Smith also recorded the song that same year on her Connie's Country LP.

### Series theme versions

[edit]

Two different versions were used as the theme for the television series, for both of which Montenegro conducted an in-studio orchestra: the first was instrumental; and the second was vocal, with its lyrics being sung by a musical team called "The New Establishment."[citation needed]

### Game Theory version

[edit]

The power pop group Game Theory recorded the song in 1986. The recording was not released until 1993, when it appeared as a bonus track on the CD release of the 1986 album The Big Shot Chronicles. The song also appears on the album's 2016 reissue.

### Other versions

[edit]

"Seattle" is sung by the Seattle Sounders FC's supporter groups, during matches, specifically at the kickoff of each half.[3]
