When I was a kid, AFL Chiefs games were on NBC (Channel 4 in KC then). Curt Gowdy and Al DeRogatis were the main announce team. This is the theme music that played during the Show Opening. Pretty cool stuff!

DeRogatis was an East Coast guy -Former NY Giants player- and was always an Anti-Chiefer. He was big on the Pats and Jets.

Great stuff George.

Memories light the corners of my mind.
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind.
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

Sounds more like nfl film's highlights music. Not intro music

Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek were hands down the best broadcasting team ever to exist for sports.

Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell and Don Meredith were a great trio too.

Mission Impossible was a popular TV show during that time and you can tell the AFL music was taking a page from the TV show's theme song.:-)

That's classic NFL Films music. I bet they didn't even have to license it back then.

NFL Films hired composer John Spence to compose for their short films and highlight reels and is the Godfather of NFL Music and Sports Music in general.

Today, the overwhelming majority of music heard on The NFL Network and NFL Films is licensed from APM Music.

Fascinating. Sounds like a late 60s spy movie score.

Was that used for a TV show at some point? It's before my time in football, but it sounds familar.
