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!

It’s no wonder Mary J. Blige sampled it in her song “No More Drama”

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.

It was so cool how they had the sketches of the characters in the early openings

Thanks for posting this. The Y&R intro is the most beautiful and haunting music I've ever encountered. As a musician, it evokes such emotion. It sends you on a journey.

This was not bad at all ; as I watching the theme openings through the 50 years I don't remember the beginning in 1973 since I was only about five but around 1978 and going forward into the 80's and beyond is when I remembered the openings.

So happy they decided to go back to the original theme after the short period without it. The music is truly timeless.

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.

1:28 Melody Thomas Scott as Nikki Reed and Eric Braeden as Victor Newman, 1:46 Terry Lester as Jack Abbott and Jerry Douglas as John Abbott, 1:47 Eileen Davidson as Ashley Abbott, 1:49 Beth Maitland as Traci Abbott, 1:54 Lauralee Bell as Christine Blair, 1:56 Jeanne Cooper as Katherine Chancellor

Eric Braeden - 44 years on a single soap opera...wow

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!

I was born in 1974 myself so I like the 1974 intro to The Young And The Restless.

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.

I absolutely love every single opening of Y&R, from the earlier opening with the sketch drawings to more jazzier sound opening in the late 90s to the 50th year opening starting with the legacy characters like Diane Jenkins and Jack Abbott and ending with Nikki Reed Newman and Victor Newman, I absolutely love it all, fantastic! ❤️🤍🥂

Melody Thomas Scott is unbelievably beautiful.

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!

The Young and the Restless is best theme song💯

My mom (rip mom) usecto watch Y&R sunce day one. I was a young whipper snapper back then. (54 now), i remember all of these theme sings. Beings back great memories sitting with my mom watching this great series. Miss her 😢

Thanks for putting it together. Very fun and a whole lot of memories in minutes that took decades to make.

I’ve only been watching Y&R for almost two months now and I must say that the show and it’s opening credits wouldn’t be the same without any of it’s beloved characters, especially Victor Newman, Nikki Newman and Jack Abbott.

Oh my gosh 😢😢(happy tears)❤❤❤❤

Happy 50th anniversary Y&R🥲💐🎉

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.

Christel Khalil’s first appearance in 2002 called The Young and the Restless. She played Lily Winters Ashby in The Young and the Restless.

I live in Europe, in Itally this show was called "Febbre d'amore"= Fever of Love. And in germany it was called "Schatten der Leidenschaft"= Shadows of desire/ Shadows of passion :-) ;-)

it is crazy to think about how long this show has been on air. But the cast and crew are all so dedicated and really love putting out shows. But we are the reason that they have been doing this for 50 years!

I loved it when they would show the opening of Y and R ,have a short pause and then show the sponsor(s) before the episode happens.Now it usually has a sponsor on the first ad after part of it happens.Any chance they could do the show like they used to?

I’m a year younger than Amelia Heinle.

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.

I had no choice, but to watch soaps my senior year of high school. I'd finished almost all my credits, so I got to leave campus at 12:00 during lunch hour. I only had 3 classes to pass during second quarter of high school,, which were PE, Science, & Math. So when I was done, I was suppose to leave after lunch, but I slipped it & went home. Since my dad was at work I would get home just in time to sit with my mom & watch General Hospital & the Young & Restless. I don't know why, but I admire Y&R opening credits, which had like 4 different opening of them spinning around going from portrait to movement to still frame again. It was all my mother watched, so I got hooked on it for just a while & enjoyed that time with my mother always explaining what was going on. From February of 1991 to March of 1992 was such quality time with my mom, until the day I left Georgia to move to California for college. Didn't even know Y&R was still running in 2023. Wonder if I start watching will it be current drama with the time or recycled drama I'd find myself saying, "been there, seen this b4?"

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. This is the Original Incidental Music for Bless the Beast and Children…kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpN_xZSHnKmzeNI.htmlsi=POWh6vGCt6_PLM-1
