Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rhythm Heritage was a Chicago musical collective that formed in the early 1970s. They're best known for creating the instrumental track "Theme From S.W.A.T.," which served as the theme song for the television series of the same name in 1975. The group included vocalist Tony Lindsay, guitarist Charles Sullivan, bassist Leroy Whitfield, drummer Gerald Heyward, and keyboardist William Allen.
Their sound drew from funk, soul, and jazz, though it's that television theme that defined their career. The track's popularity gave them international recognition and led to performances at various venues through the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1982, the group faced a lawsuit over the composition of "Theme From S.W.A.T.," alleging unauthorized use of musical material. They released several albums during their active years, but that television theme remains what most people remember.
