Music and Media from Maharishi's Merv Griffin Show

It was customary for a guest on Merv Griffin to be welcomed with a song related to his or her career.

Maharishi was introduced to music from the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour Fool on the hill.   Merv Griffin was very respectful and supportive of Maharishi, so no slight was intended.  This music was an allusion to the visits of John, Paul, George, and Ringo to Maharishi's ahsram in India during the 1960's.

Clint Eastwood was introduced with the music from his movie Play Misty for Me Misty is a song by Errol Garner.

It was Clint Eastwood who introduced Transcendental Meditation to Merv Griffin, his tennis buddy.

Clint had just completed filming of The Eiger Sanction, when he was on Merv Griffin.  In 1975, he was the top male actor at the time, as measured by box office production revenue.  He was in the process of filming The Outlaw Jose Wales.

Mary Tyler Moore was in her Emmy Award winning sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show  and was welcomed with the Mary Theme.

 

Joe Namath was mentioned by Merv Griffin as "a famous meditator...and football player"
