THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS "Nadia's Theme"
In some cases, the songs were performed on the soaps themselves, like Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris singing "(You Take Me Away To) Another World" or Gina on Y&R singing that shows theme, based on "Nadia's Theme." Below we offer a sample of some of the best from live performance to clip reels fans have posted on YouTube (with lyrics). Some days, when we actually got to watch closing credits on broadcast television, the long versions of these themes would play and we could sing along.

We believe that it was the introduction and popularity of Neil and Dru (& company) that helped propel Y&R to its crown jewel status. Neil and Dru sealed that black soap viewers are a significant and valuable block of daytime viewers. The Winters family is arguably the most popular and significant black family in daytime. However, they are the black patriarch and matriarch of daytime. Neil Winters and Drucilla Barber Winters! They weren’t the first black couple in daytime and they weren’t the first black supercouple in daytime. John and Drucilla Barber Winters portrayed by Victoria Rowell Mamie Johnson a soap legend.ġ4-First African American Patriarch and Matriarch on a Soap- The Young and the Restless Neil and Dru And then Veronica Redd Forrest took over the role in 1990. Marguerite Ray initiated the role in 1980. And even more so because it was Mamie’s family tree that ushered in half of the most popular black family in soap opera history. So, we think it is highlight-worthy to feature their first black contract role. But there is no debate that The Young and the Restless has been one of the premiere soaps for several decades.

Some Southern affiliates boycotted the show. The audience didn’t know that Carla/Ellen was black until six months after she first appeared on screen. Carla was a light-skinned black passing off as white. What an entrance Carla made with such a relevant and topical storyline. Ellen played the role from 1968-1980 and then from 1983-1985. But she is known to be the first black heroine in daytime. Ellen wasn’t the first black woman to appear on a soap.
