I knew that they used "Don't Turn Away" as their sports theme, I didn't know it was inspired by an earlier theme for the NFL. I always thought it was an odd choice as a theme for the NFL, thanks for showing me the connection.
"Don't Turn Away" is one of those overlooked T.K. Disco gems.

It is pretty good somehow.Originally Written by the disco kid
I keep going back to it. .... :icon_cool: Did this discofied version get used on NBC too??
Would be better I think if it sounded less sporadic --- more consistent.
As it goes along ,it seems to employ every trick out of the disco game book at the time. & don't know why with females softly cooing repeatedly a limited lyric like this .... they'd come up with something as benign as:
"Don't turn away" ...??

Yes, the disco version was used on the air, and I agree, it sounds very choppy, (some abrupt edits) or sporadic as you said. I love the percussion break in it and the rising strings, as well as the female vocals, it has all the elements that I love in a disco song, I just wish it was structured a bit better.
