- This is the early 80's version of The Edge of Night opening and closing credits and theme. The themes are clean and no V.O. The end theme is full and most of the clips I put together to form the end theme are from the CBC in Canada. A tiny portion towards the end was from the '83-84 version, I had a small gap to fill but fits nicely. I hope you enjoy this!....Mike
There’s something nostalgic about seeing Nancy Karr on that phone in the opening theme. And this music is perfect for this soap. Jazzy. Uptempo. Yet haunting and intriguing. I miss this show. 😢
I know what u mean. I miss it too and like this theme! I sometimes dream its been revived like so many shows and movie remakes......thanks so much!
The outro encapsulates my time growing up in the 80s it's touches as my soul with a ghostly haunt whenever I hear it... What an Era!!!.. 80s BEST!!!
This was the best. Themes for the edge of night jazz with an edge
The Edge of Night played on more artistic levels than probably any other soaps of its time. It was unique among daytime soap operas in that it focused on crime, rather than domestic and romantic matters. The police, district attorneys, and medical examiners of fictional Monticello, USA, dealt with a steady onslaught of gangsters, drug dealers, blackmailers, cultists, international spies, corrupt politicians, psychopaths, and murderous debutantes, while at the same time coping with more usual soap opera problems like courtships, marriage, divorce, child custody battles, and amnesia. The show's particular focus on crime was recognized in 1980, when, in honor of its 25 years on the air, The Edge of Night was given a Special Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. The Edge of Night had more prominent male characters than most soap operas, and included genuine humor in its scripts to balance the heaviness of the storylines.
I really enjoyed and agreed with your comment!
Therefore making it a soap opera men could watch.
@@steveprestegard5151 It's true. At its peak in the '60s, it had a larger male audience than female.
It was the original Law & Order, only the crime was investigated and tried over weeks and months instead of 44 minutes.
I could not agree more!
Very well said! So glad they got the award! I knew nothing about that.
The Edge Of Night theme is the best soap opera theme ever!!!
I wholeheartedly agree.
I agree totally The Edge of Night was the best soap ever!!!!!!!
I remember as a child, after school, I would run to the TV just to catch the Edge of Night ending theme song always hoping it would keep going. You've made the 6 year old in me very happy. :)
Me too and I'm 50 now
I agree totally! A great show! I was a bit older.
Always so unpredictable!
Great actors! I could nane so many. I just found this and I was got sad. I can not describe it! I use to watch it with me deceased Mother. She watched some others but this is the only one I watched. I have watched a couple of others since then but none of them has been as compelling and enjoyable as the Edge of Night! I loved it! I miss it! I wish it would come back! I would definitely watch it!
I am in my 60's.
Me toooooo! I'd catch the last 6 minutes or so
Glad I'm not the only one. But here's a tidbit for you. Did you know that the two stars on that show did a movie and a tv show? One played judge smails' wife on caddyshack in the 80s and one was on the TV show "full house" and she played Jesse's wife.
I remember watching this soap opera when I was a child yrs ago brings back pleasant memories of that show when off the air in eighty four.
Man what memories and the theme songs were awesome i could listen to it all day. I'm living in Germany now and i got my girlfriend to watch it with me on UA-cam we only did 82 up to the last episode of course Raven was her favorite.
I remember watching this as a child in the 70s until it went off in 1984. The theme is my absolute favorite soap theme!!! And the show itself...writers and producers today should study this show and take notes on how to make great DRAMA!!!
I couldn't have put it better, always was my favourite but had to adopt new shows after 84
NEAT, but haunting, compelling ... Like a siren song..1980, I remember this like yesterday...
Yes, I agree and I love it. When I heard it again yesterday it gave me chills. I can not describe the feeling. It was a mixture of sadness and happiness all together. Thanks for all the memories!!
The first storyline that had me hooked at like nine years of age, was Draper Scott and his amnesia. It took me awhile to understand that Emily, knew damned well that Draper was not her husband. Between that story, Nancy Karr’s abduction and the Jefferson Brown saga, I was a fan for life.
That sax was awesome! Very jazzy and haunting, like all the Edge's themes were.
I love this version, haunting. Great memories. The Edge of Night!
I agree totally! I cried when it went off the air. I am in my sixties. I wish they would bring it back! When I saw these videos yesterday it brought back so many memories. I used to watch it with my Mother and we love this show. She watched many others but this is the only one I watched. Since then I've tried to watch a few but have not enjoyed any of them like I did the Edge of Night! A unique show!
62 years young, I am. I think I'm going to start watching again, 1979. I found a long playlist on UA-cam to 1984'episodes. Check it out.❤
i love the Disco version such great memories of 4:00pm
Thanks, glad I had the tape recorder handy back then, some good clips on the internet but some not complete.
James Patton and this was BEFORE Oprah! Great memories indeed.
Yesss...
Match Game then Edge
@@johnlewinski6359 For us on the West Coast, it was at 3PM, right after General Hospital.
Came on after general hospital 80s !
My mom and grandmother watched this show when I was in elementary school and Jr. High School. I would always get home when these credits were playing and soon after ABC News 7 in Los Angeles would come on.
Or the 3:30 Movie.
They need to bring Edge of Night back
YES THEY DO
Julie Stpucinski I had a friend play a trick on me back in the 90s. She said 'Edge' was returning, I asked if it were going to be a reboot and she said yes, all new! She told me years after, she was kidding! I was hoping! I still rank 'Edge' as my no.1!!
O Chenault You really want to put it through the bullshit we've got now?
I think this is one show they should definitely bring back. Maybe if enough people wanted it, it could happen. Get a top notch mystery writer and at least a few of the original cast along with new characters, I think it would be a great show again.
and santa barbara to
The edge of night - the golden age of television -so priveledged that I got to see it first run - watched 1968-84
Boy do I agree, my favourite, glad you were able to see it, glad I have the themes too!
EON was probably the only soap opera with a primarily male audience.
Also, Lois Kibbee, who played Geraldine Saxon, is probably better known as Mrs. Smails in Caddyshack.
She is better known as Gerakldine
It was 60 years ago today that this awesome daytime serial began.
sister show As The World Turns begin airing the same year on CBS. Don't quote me on it I wasn't around then.
As The World Turns & The Edge Of Night both debuted on Mon Apr 2, 1956.
Both on CBS. And both were a half hour long.
Most of the soaps during this era were 15-minutes long.
Thanks for posting this!! I followed 'Edge' in the 70's as a kid watching it with my mother. The first theme on CBS in the States scared me. Then 'Edge' in my town was dropped when it moved to another network. When I rediscovered it on an out of town station, by holding a set of rabbit-ears while trying to watch in my brothers room, I fell in love with this theme!
I also watch with my mother! She is deceased now! When I saw this it brought back so many memories and made me sad. We love the soap! It was the only soap opera that I watched. She watched a couple of others since then I have tried to watch a couple but they're been unlike the Edge of Night and great soap! I wish they would bring it back! I liked it also being only 30 minutes although I know some people and wanted to have been an hour.
I need to know who is on saxophone. As an audiophile this is a complete eargasm for me. I miss The Edge of Night so much.
Roger Dante
Me too! I also miss it very much! A unique show with great music!!!!!!!
This theme was dope
Of all shows that could have succeeded in syndication it is EON!
I agree totally!!
I remember this being on in NYC. The whole city would shut down to watch. Such a great show!!
What a fantastic theme! In the summer as a kid, us kids would watch the soaps:
Ryan’s Hope at 1230pm, but meh..
1pm All My Children
3pm General Hospital
4pm Edge of Night
We were a total ABC family!
During the school year, I made it home in time to watch the Afterschool Special and Edge of Night. The music spooked me and it was a bit depressing that as the show went on, it would get dark outside. I always thought the title was perfect for that reason. Now, the tune is still haunting, but it reminds me of being in a nice warm house in the winter. Good times.
I'm so glad it brought back these memories for you, I listen to the themes on disc all the time.
I watched AMC and EON.
There will never be another show like EON. Also, great great music, loved it! I saw this for the first time yesterday and it brought back so many memories. I cried! it was a unique feeling! Part of me was happy and part of me was sad. I just can't describe it!
Best soap theme song ever!
I agree, miss it so much, would be nice if they did like the Brady Bunch movies, got a cast that matched closely the original cast and had a close remake of the Warmly theme or this one!
oh my god I love this.... I was only a few years old when the show went off the air but I am a major soap fan and love watching old episodes and themes. I was a member of World of Soap Themes for a while... miss that website
I know huh! I signed up for it too, great themes there, and miss it now! I decided to share the themes I had recorded on tape because of that site!
I want the one with vocals in its entirety! I want it now!
Signed,
Veruca Salt
I like what u r saying! Check under Cortner and Barranco Vocal theme, I posted and there are others too!
Thanks for posting.
I never watched the show but it is amazing how I remember this themesong
Oh my goodness, what a classic! Love having a full version available, thanks!
thanks so much, Being Canadian has its benefits like more of the theme played on CBC
@@MrMb58 I was actually dancing to it at one point!
@@Farr50 that is cool, I do love the theme too, glad I had the recorder going for it.
Procter & Gamble needs to get back into soap operas and bring classics like Guiding Light, As The World Turns, Search For Tomorrow, The Edge Of Night, and Another World back, even in reboots!
I fully agree!! I have always wanted Edge of Night to be rebooted! They have now done....MacGyver, Hawaii 50, next year a reboot of Lost In Space, time to do the same for the classic soaps!
I miss Guiding Light Reva was the best
or why not make a new one, fit for modern times
Yes. However in order to do it, they must get the Rights from Proctor & Gamble who "owned" The Soaps back in the day. In The UK ITV gave Time-Life The Rights to Coronation Street Britian's Longest Running Soap Opera where they do spotlights on various Characters.
They should put them on Netflix.
Such a great theme! Memories of my child Hood
Yes! I agree!
Thank you Mike... great mix!
Mike-- Very good. A+ on the edit. It worked very well. This is the most complete version out there. Here's an idea: Take the longest vocal version available (fades out after "passin' out of sight" and first few sax notes) and edit in the rest of the sax ending. This way we'll have "complete" versions of the instrumental and vocal.
Thanks. Good job!
Yes, I agree totally! Great Music!
I sometimes forget how dramatic The Opening Sequences were on These Shows. The UK Shows aren't like that but they are also fun to watch. As a Kid, I had no idea that many of The Soaps were owned by Proctor & Gamble. I would wonder why they would show the "Same" Commercials for Products. IE Crest , Duncan Hines Mr. Clean. The UK just shows regular Commercials and then are broadcasted at Night.
RAVEN!!! she was the character I loved! She was fantastic!!!
Thank you! Best job of my entire career!
@@SharonRoseGabet It was Luke and Laura at 3:00, then Sky and Raven at 4
@@SharonRoseGabet You are a Goddess. Loved you as Raven!!!!!
Me too!
Yes, Raven, the Erica Kane of Monticello! I still remember the portrait above the mantel! The memories!!!!!😎❤
Me, too! The Edge of Night was my favorite! Nicole was my favorite character on the show! I just love the theme songs!
Nicole was very good! So was Miles, Joel Crothers and many others. I also love this theme song!! I found this for the first time yesterday and it made me cry. It was so unique! On one hand I was sad another and I was happy. I just can't describe it!
the first time i heard this closing as it is i realized something changed, though briefly, then got back to this version - and it works!..just wish someone could come up with the matching vocal from beginning to end.....
loved the opening to this soap opera doing my childhood in the 80's and the music as well
Me too!
I like the Full version of the song !!
I'm glad, living in Canada, the CBC played it sometimes from the middle , the theme played to the end such as the end was , I was able to piece together a longer version.
This and Dark Shadows...
I love this disco - jazz version of the theme. Although, the slower, bluesy one at the closing credits is still cool. Kind of haunting and still jazzy in a way.
+David Smith .....That is cool David , glad U like it. I'm glad that myself and others have posted aspects of this show here including the themes!
@@MrMb58 The Edge Of Night Was Daytime's First Mystery Crime Drama Soap Opera.
U r right Chris, I remember reading that!
@@MrMb58 I Liked The Opening Of The Cincinnati Skyline.
Yes, I did too, the Cincinnati Skyline is the best one!
Thanks for the upload !!
No problem, glad u liked it!
@@MrMb58 Love it..Love Edge of night !! Xd
Tune in again tomorrow for THE EDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDGE OF NIGHT.................................. this program was pre-recorded....................... this is Hal Sims inviting you to join us each weekday afternoon for THE EDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDGE OF NIGHT
I need a reboot of Edge of Night on Netflix. Get some daytime and primetime stars and spin it in a new direction for the 21st century.
It should be CBS-TV, in association with whomever has the current property and distribution rights, and with Sony Pictures Television.
And get Darren Kavinoky to announce and narrate it!
thanx mike!!!
Okay. This Theme Song is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree!
I feel 9 years old again.
I know huh! I was early 20s then.
@@MrMb58 Yep. Those were the days.
thank you
Thanks....I think both Search For Tomorrow and Edge aired on USA, I didn't have it on my cable in Canada but lived in a border town so I know a few things, from about 1987, just after Search ended on CBS till about '90 or so. I know there are others that might know more but this gives you an idea.....Mike
Ahhh so many memories..
great memories!!!
I'm glad U like it, I've wanted for years to share the themes I had on cassette!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Los Angeles skyline in the mid 1970s
Best theme song EVER! And I miss seeing Jayne Bentzen as Nicole. Though, certainly not as popular as Maeve McGuire, there was something I liked about her.......and Holland Taylor (Denise), used to give me nightmares! Never knew until years later, what a terrific comedienne she was!
I've been a fan of Taylor's ever since. The next thing I saw her on after Denise died was Bosom Buddies, Tom Hanks' first hit.
This is a show that I enjoyed the edge of night has it all
Raven was a hoot!

Joel Crothers, why wasnt he listed after Ann Flood or after Forrest Compton?I only a because Joel was a veteran of two other soaps; Dark Shadows and Somerset.
Flood and Compton were the senior cast members; the contract players were listed alpabetically, followed by the day players, also alphabetically.
Protocol ...
This is fantastic. The part you had to fill, was that the synthesized bit from the final season?
Yes , you are right, I had hoped the CBC which sometimes started the theme in the middle would play that part in question but they neve did, especially without voice over it.....thank you and Merry Christmas!
This is the halloween Dracula Boogie dance tune.
Raven! I wanted to be her!
wow such a cool theme music from this era, that sounds iconic ! I wonder who composed that ?
This is the follow up to the first one composed for 'Edge' in '77, the second debuted in '80 then late '83 a third version. It was composed by Cortner and Barranco , you can google it and find info on it and youtube examples . This is the instrumental, first and second had lyric versions usually played on Fridays! Glad you enjoyed it. The source for this theme was CBC in Canada which carried the show and quite often you could record the music without voiceover, that is why there isn't any here and no Hal Simms show intro etc.
Maybe Netflix can reboot this. They rebooted Dynasty for pete’s sake
I agree, always thought, an up to date version of EON should be considered!!
Was the show nominated for the new theme and graphics when they introduced this?
Schulyler Died this year
Does anyone remember an Edge of Night episode from the early 80s where a woman gets shot by an arrow by a mysterious assaliant?
As it happens , I do remember the actress who got shot with an arrow in the early '80s.
I even remember her name: Lori Loughlin.
Raven
I hate that they discoed it up like that. The versions right around '78-'79 were the best
The twin towers.
You got it, prefer the Cincinnati skyline better. I like the lady bug for your profile pic!
why so spooky? spooky and disco? i dont like it lol
I'm sorry, this is the way it went and all my clips pieced together was from the CBC , Canada. I'm glad you tuned in. lol
