Melissa is a German television three-parter from 1966. It belongs to the series of Durbridge films that became street sweepers in Germany in the 1960s.
The music track Melissa is a music-historical classic by Peter Thomas. The song reached number 4 in the German hit parade on February 12th in 1966, where it stayed for 12 weeks. Peter Thomas recorded the track with the “Harald Banter Media Band”, with the well-known trumpeter Charly Tabor playing the bass guitar only once on this recording. The theme was only used as background music in the three-parter and was heard there on an Odeom single. In fact, the single was released in a re-recording by CBS, where Thomas then used Franz Löffler on bass guitar. The actual title and closing theme was later released under the title “Die Schlüssel” on the CD Strassenfeger, Colosseum/Cinesoundz CST 80772, together with the Melissa theme.
