Tom Bahler Sings "I Thank Heaven" on Bill Bogg's MIDDAY show

in 1979, Bill Boggs had an afternoon talk show here in NYC, called, MIDDAY with Bill Boggs
I was sent to appear on the show as Creative Director at the Hall to promote our production: "New York Summer"...this sets up the video...
the outcome, however, changed my life...it was this appearance that led Elizabeth Valando to call her husband, Tommy Valando.
Tommy Called me into his office and the result was the birth of ÆSOP as a project...
Enjoy!
Love from Thomas
PS for hose interested, The melody was composed by yours truly, the title, Quincy Jones, and the luscious lyrics, Mark Vieha...:)
And a Big Thank You to Brian Gari for recording this when it aired on June 7, 1979

Beautiful composition. First time I honestly heard of this song. Your works truly uplift my spirit, Mr. Tom.

Such a beautiful composition! So heartfelt & endearing. This has hit potential written all over it! Criminally underrated.

[@Tdog321]

Totally agree with the person who said this tune was ‘criminally underrated’ it is truly a diamond in the rough. Tom, your heart shines through in this song clear as day. For those interested, a short lived band called ‘AfterBach’ did this song in 81’ - they did a pretty good job of it in my opinion too!

I worked with Tom at Radio City Music Hall when this show was on in 1979. I still work there and would love to get in touch with him .. a good man.

Hit me up on FB! Thomas Bahler

Dear John, my name is Carlos, I live in Buenos Aires. I hear your music as a child. I'm a big fan of Bahler brothers. The songs you sang to Ray Conniff remain forever in my heart. A big hug for you and your brother John.

Hey I remember you when I worked at the Jonathan Club. I thought you were just some banker or investment guy. Who knew?
