Guiding Light closing theme 1992-Hold on to Love

[Brandon1921219]

Even though Jill Farren Phelps did a horrible thing by killing off Maureen Bauer, I still think that the show was good up until 1998 when that whole clone Reva storyline came about. And in my opinion has not recovered since.

an incredibly beautiful song

Beverlee McKinsey had the last laugh as Jill Farren Phelps did not read the contract that Beverlee could leave any time she wanted. Anyways she killed the Guilding Light and Beverlee left at the height of the show.

[MrKeithAlan]

Actually, her contract said she could quit with 8 weeks notice. She gave notice the day before she left on her 8 week vacation.

Aaaaah, the wicked witch of the soap world Jill Farren Phelps as EP during this period. JFP would also go on to be partially responsible for the death of another P&G soap in Another World.

Thank you Jill Farren Phelps, Michael Laibson, Paul Rauch, John Conboy, and Ellen Wheeler, the dumbasses for ruining GL for the last last 18 years.

This takes me back.

i wonder if theres any sheet music for this so i can play it on the piano?

[CourtneysAuntSara]

I loved this song. The new theme song SUCKS.

[DorvellTStewart]

My favorite part of this closing is the verry end. You know, the part where you hear those four notes? Does anyone remember:

1. Sometimes hearing those four notes accompanied by music and other times by themselves (as indicated in this clip?)

aand 2. Hearing the same to things at the end of As the World Turns? BTW, what were those four notes all about anyway.

[Wiltenor1]

I think those four notes were the logo which identified the show's sponsor, if you will.

[PoxyBear]

The notes were for PGP Proctor and Gamble Productions, the show's main sponsor.

[DorvellTStewart]

They sure had an awesome sound to them!

[vfreeck]

Isn't the 1989 version withthe light still turning shining on the credits. I loved those. The reason they do that is because they claim it saves air time and commercial space. I would prefer to see the credits and intros completely and in order as well.

[gigga143]

so would i!

[churlyryan]

Today, you're lucky to even see the credits on more than 1/4 the screen!

[jmsweat]

I agree. They have ruined it for soap fans by removing the closing credits/theme!

[DorvellTStewart]

Thanks to that (among many other fuck ups,) Guiding Light is getting cancelled. It's final episode is on September 18. Admittedly I was never into soaps all that much, but I'll sure miss this one! It's been around forever! Cbs, see what happens when you fuck everything up and don't do anything about it when it's obvious that what you did isn't working? No wonder GL's ratings went down so much! You didn't listen to the fans of the show!

[parkthoven]

Tranquil, serene music...I love this music and arranged this for piano solo. Come to my tube~!

[crudbud]

I agree it really was smooth and soothing :)

[heyheyheydude]

would someone PLEASE tell me why they show the logos at the beginning THEN roll the credits these days? I-I never did understand that!

[datboioutda7th]

r u tryin to ask y they show the credits at the beginning. I have no idea. That's a good question. Well, I would have to say that its a new day and time, so they might want to try somethin different, but I would rather them showing the credits at the end with the theme song. They don't do that n e more, either!!! Sad, but true!!!

[Dirkboy69]

I loved that closing too! Actually I miss closing themes, period! They don't exist anymore.

Network greed!

[pastdweller]

You mean credits of TV shows nowadays have the credits on one side of the screen with promos on the other speaking at the same time?

[andreaorr]

it sucked i like the 1989 closing better.

[andreaorr]

so do i

[1pixie]

i used to love this closing. It sounds so soothing :)

[bisnagaboy]

JFP, the bitch that started the downward slide of GUIDING LIGHT was the producer of this episode! JFP KILLED our beloved Mo!!!!

[vvmowen5]

it makes me want to cry! lol j/k but it still is pretty cool

[mcy919]

AWESOME!

[jammasterjayfan]

Great Classic Closing.
