Rhythm Heritage
by Ron WynnA Los Angeles studio group that keyboardist Michael Omartian and producer Steve Barri assembled in the mid-70s, Rhythm Heritage had a pair of television theme hits before fading into obscurity. Theme From S.W.A.T. topped the pop charts in 1975 and peaked at number 11 R&B, while Barettas Theme (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow) was a Top 20 R&B and pop single in 1976. Oren and Luther Waters served as group vocalists, but they couldnt keep things going with subsequent follow-ups.
