    I’m not into soap operas. However, I think that, hands down, The Young and The Restless has one of the top 5 best opening credits in the history of television period. I could look at these over and over and NEVER get bored!

    This brings back memories of my beloved grandma faithfully watching this show I'd say 1975-1984 all through my childhood.. Would always see the opening theme, we all miss her still now she passed in 2005 at age 93. Miss ya gram❤❤❤❤

    As a kid, I never really cares for the show itself, or at least the storyline; but what I do remember, is the beautiful theme song (including the jazz version, 92 baby here), as well as just how beautiful all of their houses looked.
    (I SOOOO wanted to live in one of their houses!!)

  • @deemoe7301

    TYATR theme song, IMO is the best soundtrack of all the soaps. So touching. I vividly remember hearing this theme as a kid in the 70s while my mom watched.

  • @stevenambrose6266
    @stevenambrose6266 9 місяців тому +2

    My grandparents soap was "The Young and the Restless". In the 90s, I would rush home from high school and tune into "All My Children". I feel the theme for All My Children and Young and the Restless are fairly iconic themes. You hear them and instantly know the shows they are connected to.

    The intro from 2003-2012 pulls me back to that time, to where I lived, what I was doing. During bouts of unemployment, and waiting to get a call for an interview or a temp job but almost glad that I didn't have any work to stay home and indulge myself in this show! I was also young (kind of) and restless (well, mostly lazy lol). I just enjoyed this time with my husband and my dog, where we lived. Great memories.

    This has been my mother's soap ever since she came to Canada in the late '70s. I've always thought the theme song was the classiest out of the soaps i've ever seen (though I will say Santa Barbara's theme is my all-time favorite) Anyways, thanks for posting this evolution of the opening theme.

    3:12 1999-2003 They were really trying to market themselves to the success of The Bold and the Beautiful, which was hugely popular. Y&R had a reputation for being more of a slow burn that presented itself as a bit “high brow.” The Bold and the Beautiful was more hot, spicy, and fun. B&B was easier for casual viewers to understand and appeared to people just looking for a short escape rather than diving into a novel. B&B reminded me more of the telenovela style and it often embraced how ridiculous it was.

    They need to update the credits soon, cause I am not feeling it. It's too dark themed. I think it would be good to go back to the late 80s early 90s white theme again, with LOTS of vaseline on the lens because the hi-def cameras they use today are not flattering to anyone. That winter white background was giving everything, and the wind machine just elevated it.

    The 70's and 80's were hands down the golden era of TV, music and entertainment. This timeless masterpiece opening credit has to be one of the best ever and just re-enforces that. The 1999 theme strayed way too far off and modernized it too much. Thankfully they went back the better original version thereafter.

    Shame this series never really took off in the UK as it is a quality daytime soap. The only "era" I saw was between 1987 and 1990 on Sky One, which is the set of titles with the roman type face and semi-animated head shots. I remember Michael Damien (?), who was a singer being prominent in these episodes. Sky said it was too expensive to buy any more episodes! It changed to lesser known TV channels and sadly hasnt aired here for nearly 15 years. It is the opening and theme tune that attracted me to this series. I love it. And I still listen to it occasionally on here. Happy 50th Anniversary Y&R from the UK!

    This is a great compilation! Being a portrait artist, my favorite is the '84-'88 years of the Sandy Dvore sketches. They're so moody, atmospheric, and with simplicity capture the essence of each character. Plus, we can't forget that Dvore's logo, established then, is still in use today!

    This Music is from 1971 Movie Bless The Beast and Children. It is called “Cotton’s Dream” written by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Boykin Jr. Then in 1976 …The Summer Olympics..It turned into Nadia’s Theme for Nadia Comaneci. Which became a huge hit..and everyone recorded their own version of Cotton’s Dream..including Henry Mancini.

  • @windsonma8209
    @windsonma8209 2 місяці тому

    Wow this Theme is Always So Calming to me despite Invoking a Set of Traumatic Memories for me. Which was when o was a Kid and had to make regular visits to my Family Doctor’s Office in some Government Building. Oh yeah I could Remember it like I’ve just been there I could Still Remember walking on to the nearest elevators. And taking it it up to the Fifth Floor and Getting Off and making our ways along a Long and Quite aside from that Dreaded Typewriter and Empty Hallway to the Doctor’s Office.
    And I would know when we’re getting close as the closer we got the Loader that Dreaded Typewriter Became. And when we entered it wasn’t better and for some reason The Young And The Restless Both Invoked that memory and at the same time Calmness. Like I’ve just said I don’t know how I’ve connected those two.
    But a little bit of side note I just wished they would stop casting kids that give off that Disney Sitcom Vibe to them. But the Happy News is I’m so Glade that I was able to Watch The Young And The Restless’s 50th Anniversary Special Series of episodes. To which by the way almost Feels like a Completely Deferent Show. In Particular when it came to the Red Carpet Scenes, to which Feels like a series of Entertainment News Segments. Along with the characters that are in the scenes.

    The only time they differ from the iconic Botkin/De Vorizon arrangement was the 1999 red carpet opening, before going back to tried and true (the 1984 remix of it however) ever since. Otherwise they stuck with the Cotton's Dream/Nadia's Theme while so many others changed their themes over the years.

    Y&R actually had a live orchestra pit on set in the earlier years, that’s why their scores from the early 70’s were so beautiful and by the time the 80’s came they pretty much-recorded their background scores.
