I remember watching Taxi with my Dad. I was 8 or 9 years old and sometimes, he would let me stay up late, to watch it with him. He’d always say, “don’t tell your mother”. (She worked nights as a waitress at the time).
He died in 2021 from cancer. Now all I have are the memories.
Good night Mr. Walters.

I grew op a block away from Bob. I was a lot younger, but I do recall his dad, Lamkin James proudly calling out to Bob in the next room to sing out a specific note, which Bobby did.

@Aja-Christian
I don't know what it is about the tone or melody of this song that makes me a little bit emotional; it makes me smile but teary eyed at the same time. Maybe because I remember hearing it as a kid and at that time in my life things were simpler and I was more innocent. Loved ones were still around, hard times and struggles were still years away. Something about this track just makes me feel safe, like being pulled into a long embrace and being held, or finally coming home after being away for a long time. I never want that feeling to go away. 💗💗💗 I hope this track has this affect on me for the rest of my life. Thank you BJ for blessing the world with your genius!!🙏🙏🙏

There is no other song, theme song or otherwise, that has as much emotional impact on me as this song. Those few years of the Taxi theme playing only once a week when I was a teenager are burned into my soul. I honestly don't think there is any other theme song that was this good. It is so melancholy, both sorrowful and joyful at the same time. It is in my opinion one of those very few "perfect" songs.Takes me back in time to hear it again.
