"Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow", music by Dave Grusin

I just looked it up. I thought it was written for Baretta. Instead, it
was written in 1975, covered by multiple singers, then a
semi-instrumental (subdued vocals) by Rhythm Heritage, then used as the
theme for Baretta with lyrics sung by Sammy Davis Jr added back to the
Rhythm Heritage instrumental version.

Other people covered the song before Sammy.
