Artist: Walt Smith Orchestra feat. Betty St. James
LP: 7" single
Song: "Topaz"
[ listen ]
I wonder which novel was the last to have a theme song released on a promotional 7" single to help drum up sales at bookstores across America—perhaps it was the exciting 1967 spy thriller "Topaz" by Leon Uris! You can get your own copy of Uris' novel here, read about Alfred Hitchcock's 1969 film adaptation here, see the movie poster below and find out what blue topaz looks like here. Please steer clear of unstable topaz, however, which starts out a beautiful deep red color, but fades to a light yellow-green after sitting in the sun for a mere 24 hours, as you can see here.
