i’m only 14, but these intros give me such nostalgia. i remember i didn’t have preschool on wednesday and my grand parents would watch me, every day at 12 i think, they would have to watch their “story”. i don’t usually hear about it anymore, but since it’s summer and we spend a lot of time with them, i’ve been watching it again

Aww, your Grandparents seem so cool. In My Family they were known as The Stories. We didn't watch Y & R. For My Grandparents it was All My Children, Another World or Somerset. As you know Bill Bell Co Created Another World. UK Fans was stunned when I told them that Megan Markle was on General Hospital as an Under Five.

Same here girl!! I knew what time it was when I heard this introduction 💯 I knew not to bother my grandma for the next hour when her soaps came on. Eventually as I got older I started watching them for myself too, I don't watch anymore but my grandma still calls me and updates about whats going on

Honestly, this music is forever in my brain from my great grandmom watching it. When I have kids, I'm going to start watching this so they will forever be tortured by the song, and their kids will visit and I'll put it on. Because let's face it, this show will still be going in the year 3000

1999-2003 was Great opening music 🎶 beautiful would of stuck with it longer

My favorite intro was with the Red and Jazzed up version of their theme. ❤️

Pretty amazing this soap is still ongoing. I remember chasing episodes during summer break from school. 😂

Interesting retrospective. Curious (and fortunate!) that they only stuck with the 1999 jazzed-up version for four years, then returned to the original, more understated soundtrack from then on. That theme song is thing of wonder, in its' own right.

We still hear artifacts from the jazz remix when the show goes into commercial breaks.

Thank you for posting. People were arguing on a site on Facebook today about the beginning credits . I knew that it was Michelle Stafford that walks in the black dress .

2:54. That's the one my mom watched when I was a kid. Ahh, memories☺

The 90s was when I started watching Y&R. Summer of 92 with my great aunt was where it all began

Watch this show growing up, many great memories, those we're the days 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ...........

I can't believe Eric Braeden is still on The Young And The Restless to this day. What an iconic actor and his portrayal of Victor Newman is the main reason i even watched this.

I am glad the production company decided not to use the 1999-2003 music, and kept using the one which was and still is well-known.

I'm a 90s kid and this takes me back to when I would stay home from school, I don't actually watch the soaps but if I had to follow one The young and the restless would be it.

I remember my mom watching this show back in the 2000’s. Sometimes I would get bored and watch it with her.

Glad they brought back the font from 1984. It’s timeless

its crazy how i remember the red one, the one that ended in 2003 but i was born 2004. lol but yes!! around noon time, my grandma loves watching these even tho she keeps saying she'll stop watching them but nope, keeps watching them

12,000 episodes?! What the fuckkkkk

This intro is so hypnotizing

Wow this show has been loved and been continuing for so long

Soundtrack of my life.

The last intro is so harsh for the actors/actresses. The light doesn't do them any good. Every pore is visible on camera. I want soft, romanticized spotlights. Y&R red intro was absolutely perfect.

The best intro ever!

vintage Ynr

Beautiful characters

I love this show I love these characters

I love this show a LOT

I wish they’d bring back the red one. With the new cast of characters, it would be awesome ❤️

Dang. I was enjoying this so much, and then Kristoff St. John appeared on the screen. A little dagger in the heart. I still can't believe he's gone. So very sad.

Did you ever watch the soap opera (Generations) ? He was on it also.

The red and jazzed up verison of Y&R that was used in late 90s to early 00s omg they need to return to that version of the song it sounded so much more updated to the times.

My mom gets agressive over this show XD my mamaw was born in 43 i think and my mom and her always watched this show, even today after my grandmother my mom watches it, and sometimes i do too, but she has never missed an episode

This sounds like freddy Krueger coming for you almost

The theme song was a top ten hit back in 1976 because of the association with Nadia Comaneci.

Oh Kendall Nixon, there are quite a few of us left in this world.

My mom never kept up with this show too much, she liked Guiding Light better but they were on right next to each other when I was a kid and the opening used to scare me for some odd reason

I remember my mom watching on her lunch breaks when I was in preschool. It wasn’t until I was a teenager asking her what the hell that symbol was. She like the “Y” and the “R”. Oh. I said. Lol

1973 was 48 49 YEARS ago

Here i was thinking this came out in the 80's when I was a kid now I know its much older than me! Lol wow 😊

It's time to retire the lady in the long black dress....it's been almost 20 years. Time for something innovative.
