Hi. I would like to ask all of you here about whether or not Merv Griffin had used a Rhodes Mk I or Mk II electric piano on his recording of the 1983-and-later theme song to his popular TV game show "Wheel of Fortune," titled "Changing Keys." This theme song sounds like jazz.

I know the Rhodes piano had been commonly used by jazz artists in the '60s, '70s and '80s (and even still to this day), but do Merv Griffin's musical styles fit here?

If anyone here has a clue as to this topic, please let me know anytime.

Thank you,
Benjamin
Support the Wurlitzer 200 and Fender-Rhodes by buying copies of at least one of the model or listening to the recordings they were used on.
