Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

'Gimme A Break' ran on NBC from 1981-1987 for six seasons and a total of 137 episodes. The seasons 1 and 2 theme song was composed by Bob Christianson and written by Bob Garrett and Marley Sims. It was sung by Nell Carter with a wonderful blend of soul, R&B, and gospel. Those elements and Carter's powerful, Broadway-style voice make the song an upbeat, catchy, memorable tune.
The lyrics focus on Nell's ambition and desire for recognition, 'Gimme a break, I sure deserve it, it's time I made it to the top', and her weariness from pretending.
They also set the stage for the premise of the show: A sharp-witted and devoted housekeeper holding a family together after the tragic death their wife and mother.
