Chicago - A message from the station manager

Here Come The Hawks!

The Mighty Blackhawks

Before “Chelsea Dagger” there was this classic Hawks theme song, written by J. Swayzee and produced by the Dick Marx Orchestra and Choir in 1968.



“It is still played today during the pre-game video,” according to its Wikipedia entry. “An abbreviated rendition is also played following the end of each period on an organ.”
