"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" was a mid-80's celebrity & wealth-worship series produced and narrated by Australian host Robin Leach. The show opened with a memorable theme tune, arranged as an orchestral disco, which had been the rage in the mid 1970s (and inspired the "The Love Boat" theme.)

But the melody actually originated in a Love Theme for the George Peppard movie "Five Days From Home" (1978) with composer credit for the movie given to film/pop arranger/composer Bill Conti (who had written the hit theme tune from the film "Rocky"); The melody also had a lyric written by Norman Gimbel under the vocal title "Come With Me Now" which had been written for the movie in 1978.

This theme was also used back in the 1970's and 1980's for a Los Angeles local show called AM Los Angeles which was on KABC-TV Channel 7. Regis Philban use to be the host for this show in it's early years and Steve Edwards in the later years.

Thanks for sharing! Might you also have the song that Dionne later sang at the end of the show? Called "Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams"

When I watched this show as a youngster in the 80s, my parents would tell me that if I work hard and I want it badly enough, I can have the homes, cars, and planes that they would show. Today, I see parents teaching their children to be jealous of people who have wealth like this, and that those who have it are instantly evil people. The 80s was about being inspired; today is about being jealous. How backwards our society has become.

Long live the late 70's, early 80's! Precious memories of good times! Life was so carefree for me back then.
