I get that the general viewing audience was turned off by this opening that featured characters who were not a part of the show like in the previous opening that lasted 7 to 8 years. However, this opening is extremely well done featuring a lot of the elements we go through in LIFE. That theme is arguably one of the best daytime soap themes in all of history. It is simply gorgeous!
@sneakiebug10 Jeffrey Osborne (and before him, Johnny Mathis) did a vocal for 'Loving"..Peabo Bryson did the vocal for OLTL (1985-92?)..wasn't too crazy about it, since it was a voice-over already existing music..usually, there's different instrumental and vocal arrangements..not that time...
@Mockingbirdanime306 i remember this opening being very similar to the opening 'Loving' was using around this time - just after the Johnny Mathis and just before the Jeffrey Osborne openings.......
@disabled1955 Oh, I see - interesting, thanks! I like this opening, but of course, I don't remember it because i was 12, a little too young for soap-watching. It seems so "old," and makes me feel old b/c it seems like just yesterday.
Linda Gottlieb was the executive producer/show runner of One Life to Live at the time this opening sequence made its debut.
One life to live the daytime soap opera of all time
One life to live the daytime soap opera of all time on ABC
I always loved this particular theme...thanks for posting.

@razgirl67 very similar in approach to 'Loving" (around this same time), and both with great pieces of music!!
@disabled1955 Jeffrey Osborne sang in an opening? When? I thought they went to the non-singing openings after this?
@Mockingbirdanime306 i remember this opening being very similar to the opening 'Loving' was using around this time - just after the Johnny Mathis and just before the Jeffrey Osborne openings.......
Where can I find this piece of music?
i have this, the mid-show bumpers, and the closing as .mp3s..the only way i know i can get it to you is through e-mail..i'll let you decide...
Danny Hill Hello I'm interested can email me the closing ??
any opening that doesn’t include the players is a fail IMO
@VaultMasterDBT thx......
