Jonathan Full Opening

[@eecortese]

Like my first love, never to be forgotten and forever in my dreams.

[@Tappinbeats]

Sunday afternoons in New York we’re a vibe that will never compare listening to his soothing voice staring at a view of the city .

[@kenrudin8080]

Thank you for this. Oh my goodness does this take me back.

[@thelestercorp]

I need this forever please. Never let it go.

[@thelestercorp]

Thank you, Margaret Ronzino. THANK YOU.

[@scottgocek2010]

Why does this continue to show up in my dreams? Like a thousand rainy, summer afternoons?

[@rorysolomon7061]

Haunting, reverberating, ethereal echoes.

[@radouaneny]

Sundays in New York were special with Jonathan Schwartz on the radio!

[@Tappinbeats]

They really were , so relaxing reading the New York Times listening to his show . Especially on cold winter Sunday afternoons. Just wanted so tranquil listening to his monologues😊

[@bryancrocker7566]

It is Carly and Lucy Simon. They have been family friends since they were kids.

"Good morning, hey Friday, the 12th of April 1968. Jonathan Schwartz here in a new groove. The new groove, WNEW-FM." When I first hear it on the WNEW-FM anniversary broadcast, I thought it was done by the Ward Swingle Singers, bought everything of theirs I could find in print, and came up blank. I called Elsas @ FUV and he spilled the beans on the name of mystery artists.

R.I.P. Lucy Simon

[@MsMojoworks]

"Welcome to the evening, WNEW"

[@davidkramer4006]

I just wrote to Jonathan and asked him the names of his opening and closing themes. He told me that for forty years he has never revealed the names of the songs. The WNYC website says that the opening theme is from a private tape. There's no doubt in my mind that the singer on the opening theme is his friend Carly Simon. I'm actually more interested in the closing instrumental theme. Since I've only been listening to Jonathan's show for about ten years, I could've sworn that the first time I had heard the closing theme it was something I had heard before.

[@maryannelamasney345]

Definitely Carly Simon.

[@MrHABRECHT]

Bring Back Jonathan Schwartz!

😢

[@PayDaVig1]

Anyone know when I can find the song Molly, I recall. JS would play it every once in awhile. At one time it was on You Tube but I can't seem to locate it any longer. Possible deleted I assume.

[@scottshore2987]

Molly by Biff Rose

[@anthony-fv8ez]

The 1970’s. For me anyway.❤

[@55jbh]

I think it's Carly and her sister Lucy.

[@mdt471]

I remember

[@scottgocek2010]

JS...always a class act.

[@utbanker]

There also was a piano piece. What was the name of taht one please?

[@markdecker6190]

Was it Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, or did one of the other DJs use that?

[@markdecker6190]

Oh never mind, it was that Nelson Riddle piece.

[@PayDaVig1]

@@markdecker6190 I think JS used Chopin at times before he started playing the Nelson Riddle song.

[@mandolindleyroadshow706]

Do you have the complete end theme, the one written by Nelson Riddle?

[@adrienneknoll8186]

[@sdidovich1]

the closing was nelson riddle stowaway in the sky

[@unclealand]

And people couldn’t tell that’s Carly Simon? Really?

[@Catchafire2000]

Thanks for uploading this. Is there a name for the song or is it special to his show? Thanks,

[@davidkramer4006]

Catchafire2000 Jonathan told me that he has not told anyone the names of either the opening or closing theme song since he started using them 40 years ago.

[@scottgocek2010]

Carly Simon and Joni.
