The name of the song is ( as you have correctly identified) is "It's Alright"
Dennis Waterman (born February 24, 1948 in Clapham, London) is an English actor and singer, best known for his tough-guy roles in television series such as The Sweeney and Minder, in which he played the title role, that of ex-prisoner and dogsbody Terry McCann, alongside George Cole as his "boss", entrepreneur Arthur Daley.
He became well-known and something of a pin-up as DS George Carter in The Sweeney, during the 1970s. As well as starring in Minder, he sang the theme tune, "I Could Be So Good For You", which was a top three UK hit in 1980, and had a brief singing career. He recorded a song with George Cole "What are we gonna get for 'er indoors". It is sometimes incorrectly believed that he wrote "I Could Be So Good For You", due to the song being credited to 'Waterman/Kenny'. In fact, it was his then wife Patricia Waterman who co-wrote the song with fellow songwriter Gerard Kenny. Waterman also sang the theme tunes to three more programmes in which he appeared: the comedy drama "Stay Lucky" with Jan Francis (ITV 1989), sitcom On The Up (BBC 1990) and crime drama New Tricks (Wall to Wall television for BBC, 2003). His foray into the world of music started earlier with his first album in 1976 titled Downwind of Angels, arranged and produced by Brian Bennett. A single "I Will Glide" was released from the album but did not enter the top 40. The backing singers on "I Will Glide" are the Belmont School choir, where Brian Bennett's son, Warren, was a pupil.
The theme tune, It's Alright" is not commercially available, and there are no plans for it to be released.
New Tricks is a BBC television drama series which follows the work of the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS). Led by Superintendent Sandra Pullman, it is made up of retired police officers who have been recruited to reinvestigate unsolved crimes. The series is similar in idea to Waking the Dead, another BBC drama seres about a "cold case" squad, but is far lighter in tone, with many humorous situations. It draws much of its humour from the former detectives' unfamiliarity with the modern methods of policing, and their increasing age.
