Cyndi Grecco (born May 19, 1952) is an American singer who performed the theme song to the 1970s American television show Laverne & Shirley.
The song, "Making Our Dreams Come True," featured Grecco accompanied by The Ron Hicklin Singers. It was released as a single on Private Stock Records label and spent two weeks at No. 25 in the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked July 4 through July 10, 1976.[1] [2]
Composer Charles Fox and lyricist Norman Gimbel were hired by Laverne & Shirley creator Garry Marshall to write the show's theme song.[3] While Fox was visiting Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in California, Grecco caught his attention when she was singing in a pop group at the park. Fox shared the Laverne & Shirley song with Grecco and offered her the opportunity to audition. Accompanied by The Ron Hicklin Singers, Grecco sang the hit theme song and it was released it as a single. The song spent two weeks at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976.
Managed by Janna Feliciano, then-wife of José Feliciano, Grecco provided the theme to the 1970s ABC television show Blansky's Beauties. She was a featured half-time performer and sung the U.S. National Anthem at the 1977 Sun Bowl.[4] [5]
Wish Upon a Star (1982), was Grecco's second album. It featured a disco-themed single, "Dancing, Dancing", which failed to chart.
