Sesame Street Debuts (10 November 1969)

Sesame Street Pinball Number Count (All Segments)

Here's a new improved version in the proper aspect ratio and with better sound and picture. The music was composed by Walt Kraemer, arranged by Ed Bogas, vocals by The Pointer Sisters (all 4 of them). It was recorded in 1976 and it debuted in Feb '77.

Teaching a generation numbers and letters, creating unforgettable characters, and combining live actors with puppets to teach lessons of togetherness and diversity... what don't I owe to Sesame Street?

The characters were, of course, created by Jim Henson (1936-1990). The performers have changed over the years and the format has been retooled, but the lessons remain the same.
