"Secret Agent Man" was a transplanted and syndicated British TV show in the 60s, called "Danger Man" in the UK. The song was used to give it a more "Americanized" flavor for the US market. It starred Patrick McGoohan as the "agent." Though the show had nothing to do with 007, like many other shows at the time, it rode its coattails. If you're interested, watch its "unofficial" sequel: "The Prisoner."

For those of us with grey hair, or no hair😮, this was the theme song for a 1960s TV show. It wasn't James Bond, but Bond movies where in the theaters, so it may have been inspired. I watched the show every week.

@@BobGeogeo In England where it was first created as a half hour show, later changed to one hour, it was always known as Danger Man, and even had it's own, different theme. Secret Agent Man was written for the same hour long episodes for CBS to run at the same general time ...Thus Johnny River's gets a BIG hit out of it. Patrick McGoohan was asked several times to be James Bond but always turned them down, he didn't like the womanizing aspect and was married with children, had a family to consider.

So glad you are doing more of Johnny Rivers. He had a lot of hits during the 60's-70's such as "Memphis", "Maybellene", "Mountain Of Love", "The Seventh Son", "Summer Rain", "Midnight Special", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "Rockin' Pneumonia & The Boogie Woogie Flu" etc.

SUMMER RAIN is amazing because it came out after SGT PEPPERS and eulogizes that work's fame in the chorus. Amazing, but so smart because it guaranteed SUMMER RAIN's hit-status - although but itself it is worthy of hit status.

Miss Sarah, I like that hair. You can wear yours 90 ways to Sunday. I'm stuck with short and white. You could give my cousin a run for her money with the hair style. I have a suspicion that her heritage is Kenyan. I liked your reaction to the music. Your face was glowing like a newly minted quarter.

Ha! Sarah, I loved that! ❤ I'm so glad you got to hear this other facet of Johnny Rivers music. He is just an impeccable singer and performer. While James Bond was the king of secret agents, there were a number of other movies and TV shows around at the same time which tried to build on that secret agent mystique. So I think Johnny's song is more an ode to that whole genre of glamorous secret agents. Very much a 60s phenomenon. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😁🤗❣️

Hi Sara, Thanks for the great reaction to Johnny's secret agent man song. He got the gig of doing this as an opening credit song for cbs when they imported a tv show from Britain in the early 60's,(around the same time as the bond films), and renamed it to coincide with the song!😊👍

My favorite J.R. song. Accurate lyrics..In most of the Bond movies, There's always a woman trying to seduce him and then kill him. In the last film, " No Time To Die", A female agent is angry at Bond for making her look bad in the field. While 007 is in a conference with M, She says to Money Penny, " I can see now why you shot him." ( She'd done it accidentially 7 years back) Money Penny smiled back, " Well, every girl tries at least once"
