    I kind of got it, but I cheated with Google, and I'm not sure about one of them.
    Tom Selleck - Magnum PI
    James Garner - Rockford Files
    William Katt - Greatest American Hero
    Gerald McRaney - Simon and Simon?

    All theme songs composed by Mike Post

    And thanks for sending me down the TV rabbit hole. Boy this guy wrote most of the theme songs for tv in the 80s and 90s!

    Correct. Mike Post rules!

    And yes, Gerald McRaney was on Simon and Simon. Good show.

    Here goes. This may be a little hard:
    Spin Doctors + Adam Ant + Meatloaf + Stacy Lattisaw + Grover Washington = 10
    They all have something in common - name the songs

    Good job RunTimer. I had like 2 of the 3 (ha). I would never have come up with Spin Doctors I don't think.

    here's a 5.pt quiz

    4 song titles embedded in the lyrics, and a fifth song that (like the one true ring) binds them!
    Good luck and, to quote our bard, no wagering

    1. Sinatra said this was his kinda town
    2. Where the Saints march
    3. If you can make it here...
    4. Pinball wiz found freedom there

    and..
    5. What do these songs..in this order, have in common?

    With a little research...

    1. New York
    2. New Orleans
    3. New York (I always thought it was Broadway, but found New York in the lyrics)
    4. Philadelphia
    5. Crescent - Amtrak route

    You've got the songs, but we're looking for a musical connection, and the sequence is important.
    here's some clues:
    4.a Baltimore
    4.b DC
    4.c Detroit
    4.d Los Angeles
    5 ______________________________(song title)

    Oops. Chicago. I always think of Heart Of Rock And Roll with a city sequence reference. There's another one, but it escapes me at the moment.

    Wasn't this a remake?

    1. Chicago
    2. New Orleans
    3. New York (I always thought it was Broadway, but found New York in the lyrics)
    4. Philadelphia
    5. Dancing In The Street (Van Halen is the version I remember, but I thought it was a remake. Yeah, Martha & The Vandellas)

    I remember the original, and this one (spoiler..if you wait to the end you can see Mick and David shake what their momas gave them)

    Ha! I was thinking Heart of Rock and Roll, too. But that didn't fit. Well done.
