The Gong Show provided me with five years of the happiest times of my life, but that's that. And to be known as the guy who gave the world The Gong Show - listen, my Uncle George isn't known as anything. So I guess it isn't so bad in that context.

The first two songs were released on "Swan" 45rpm records and the third released on a "Decca" LP record:
Summertime Guy (Eddie Rambeau; an instrumental version of this song was used as the theme for The Newlywed Game)
Palisades Park (Freddy Cannon)
Love Sickness (Milton DeLugg)
In 1973 Barris released an LP of television game show music Chuck Barris Presents Themes From TV Game Shows (Friends Records). Barris later married Robin Altman and then Mary Rudolph. The empire crumbled again amid the burnout of another of his creations the 1979–80 Three's a Crowd (in which three sets of wives and secretaries competed to see who knew more about their husbands/bosses).

He is also a songwriter who wrote the hit "Palisades Park" and an author. He is best known for hosting The Gong Show and creating The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. Charles Hirsch "Chuck" Barris (born June 3 1929) is an American game show creator producer and host.
