Guiding Light 1996 Theme

[ThePgereffi]

I used to always watch this show with my mother when I was a kid good memories.

[audveltadmuna]

This is the ending i remember

[blkjock81]

This was when I was watching this show regularily....and there were so many african american cast members at the time..sweet!

[Mascro1977]

Loved how the writers turned Annie into "Psycho" bitch when reva returned

[MrKeithAlan]

It wasn't Proctor and Gamble. It was CBS that killed GL.

[GriffinElliot]

Procter & Gamble, how could YOU! Why did you kill our show??? I'll pound my laundry on ROCKS before your products ever cross the threshold of our home!

[churlyryan]

I've been missing out on this D:

*Favorites*

[EyesLikeMine]

Love Love LOVE these credits! I always did love the music! :o)

[ginahenn]

I loved when they showed everyone in the ending credits.

[karthelow]

OMG! Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) as Michelle!

[bull1872]

I like this show a lot good memories

[sweetbaycsm]

If they play this them on the daytime emmys salute to GL there will not be a dry eye in the house!

[deenage]

For the last episode which we're all going to be totally devastated, it would be better if they use the "Hold on the love" theme (From 1991-2002) for the end of the last episode.

[jwjones967]

I still can't believe that this is the end for this show. It will surely be missed.

[dawgfan0320]

Oh the lust of these golden days. I love you Light. You will be oh so missed.

[denverbeast]

RIP Guiding Light 1937-2009 :(

[parkman35]

Boy, the old gang has sure broken up over teh years.......RIP Michael Zazlow...

[hardrockin96]

They sure have haven't they? Zaslow was the best actor I've seen. He kept things shaking on GL. It hasn't been the same since he died.

[jpw1967]

gosh this brings back memories,so many characters i miss - bridget/dylan/danny/michelle/e­d/amanda/phillip/harley the list goes on and on. i especially miss michael zaslow. no doubt if he was still alive he'd be on the show. he was roger thorpe. now i liked the old dinah, but i think the new dinah is wayyyy better. i do agree though the 80's and 90's was the shows peek. very much focused on family. hopefully todays writers will look back on these times and realize what they are missing.

[anielloefrancesca]

oh please,please,...if you have material about zachary(1997)and his last appearing,upload it!!! what happened to him? i was in the hospital and nobody could tell me about.

[rapkorom]

Oh wow!!I love it!! I always loved Wendi Moniz- she was the best Dinah...

[mikeyb2049]

Totally agree with what you said about David Kriezman! And I say the same about Ellen Wheeler.

[Najee1020]

I saw David Kreizman's name under production coordinator.  He's GL's current headwriter. Hate to say it, but he's a complete hackwriter.

[OceanKingNY]

Also saw Jill Lorie Hurst here as "Assistant to the Writers." She's back now as Headwriter (replacing Kreizman) in a last-ditch effort to save GL from cancellation.

[imxelor]

i love guiding light. so many memorable moments, like this version of the theme and shots behind the credits. thx for the post.

[btm85bubs]

Great clip. This version of "Hold On to Love" aired for less than two months, in June and July 1996.

Do you have any closing credits from late 1996/early 1997? I've never heard the closing version of the theme that aired during those months.

[Mascro1977]

Guiding Light is NOT worth watching anymore. Bring back the history and the core families.

[Restlessi]

@Mascro1977

Guiding Light is cancelled for over a year now

[Mascro1977]

@Restlessi

I KNOW but I made that comment 3 YEARS ago when GL was totally unwatchable!

[johncenafeen]

this has got 2 be my favorite of all their themes! GL - many more themes to come!!!!

:]

[oklahomatim]

I don't know which I miss more--that theme music, or "The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather."

[1lubee]

THE BEST NEVER REST!!!

[1lubee]

I LOVED THIS CLOSING 1996...

[adelgado75]

ah the good old days when shows still had full closing credits with theme music.

[richiericardo13]

Greenlee!!! I miss rebecca budig so much!!! And Rick hearst such a hottie!

[parkthoven]

Love this music~~

I made a piano trancription.

Come to my tube~~

[DerrickLee2006]

the guy who does the vo is legendary CBS announcer alan berns.

[feemeister]

What stunning pictures those were of Vanessa and Lillian! Seeing Roger about makes me cry! I loved him so much. So sad about him and his family. And that Dinah! TOTALLY loved her! Loved this theme and them showing all the pictures! Thanks for adding this; I have been wanting to see it for years!

[denverbeast]

guiding light actually use to have a good sample of contract minorities in 1996 it looks like!

[Najee1020]

Yes, they did have a nice group of minority contract actors, so unlike GL of today.

[EDB1989]

I luv the classics reminds u why u watch the particular and memories. It's so amazing to see how the chararters come and go and how some changed over the years

[krisnotes]

"Hold on to Love" is my all time fave!

[stiffkids2006]

I found a version of this on the WoST site a while back and it was cut off (at about 1:14), as it was getting to my favorite portion (starting at about 1:00). I could've swore it was longer and I was right. Kudos for having the full version!!

[stiffkids2006]

My favorite closing version of "Hold on to Love'. For the most part I perfer the various arrangements of 'My Guiding Light,' but I rank this right up there with those ones. I just LOVE this arrangement!

[MrKing21]

The theme is called "Hold on to Love" by Rob Mounsey.

[eric442]

Hey, what is the title of this closing theme from GL in '96? Respond to me ASAP!

[thirtymphs]

Ooh, Amelia Marshall! I loved her as Gilly. She should come back.

[bethalphatom]

ohhhmigoood! i love 90's GUIDLING LIGHTTT! i miss it so!

[celebratingthesoaps]

It also helps that Reva's last name is Zimmer, which comes at the end of the alphabet ;)

[serious22]

i agree to an extent.

it's still good, but i think soaps, all soaps, just aren't what they used to be.

sadly, times have changed & daytime is on it's way out:(

on a different note, i love how they show Reva at the very end. it's very fitting & just shows how true & loyal the show has stayed to it's classic characters.

[Einalem86]

I miss the old Guiding Light...now it just seems so tawdry and all the younger actors are pretty boring.

Back then, it had substance.
