I was never into General Hospital, yet I would always rush home from school (school let out at 2:45) to listen to the closing theme music--it just sounded so epic. It was rare to get the entire theme and/or no voiceovers announcing what was coming on next.
Been watching Gh since I was 7 years old in 83 and I remember this theme so fondly was kinda mad when they changed in April 1993 when I was still in High School I am glad I got to hear again on here you are a gem for posting thanks a mill!! ;-)
@Digifan23 I had downloaded it on Limewire a few years ago. At this point, I doubt if anyone is able to download it using L/W now, cuz I tried to do so a year or so ago and it did not show up in the search :(
Oh yeah, the theme is also included on the "Television's Greatest Hits, Vol.5: In Living Color" CD.
If GENERAL HOSPITAL is to be cancelled in 2012, "rumored to be," then please bring this back, I HATE the junk theme that is currently being used. This CLASSIC theme would be a great way to say goodbye to this CLASSIC and ICONIC soap.
I remember many a Friday hearing this after school. For some strange reason, know matter what I was doing, on Fridays at 3:55 p.m I would turn to WPVI just to hear this theme. Classic Theme!!!!!!
I never really watched General Hospital . . . but from what I understood it actually tooka place in a hospital. Not like today where it takes place wherever . . . The producers of this soap should revert back to this theme. It captures the essence of 'GH' I think. Anyone agree with me ? . . . .Too bad soaps don't use themes like this anymore. They just wanna be like prime-time series' and wanna keep up with the Starbucks crowd . . . and let us not forget the "Twilight" crowd.
I remember hearing this once in its entirety like this back in 1987.
On fridays they'd play most of it w/closing credits. Even though I was a bit too young to watch gh back then, I can't get enough of it now! Too bad ALL of todays shows don't have the long open & close music like they did back then
Listening to this theme at about 2:55pm on sick or snow days, made me think, gosh I'm lazy and should be out doing something (like being in school) besides sitting on my butt watching the GH closing sequence. Talk about guilty pleasure.
I would literally tune in on Fridays for the extended credits and the full musical score on GH! What a classic theme this really is. It sounds sort of like the music you'd here on an old TV medical drama, like Marcus Welby or one of those older shows.
@Margie75 oh the theme they have on now is HORRIBLE. Everything about that program is horrible. What a fucked up program. And to think this was once the best show in history(however do know that I was not a fan of Luke the first six years he was on here either! I tuned in for Bobbie, Amy, Rick, Monica, Steve, Jesse, dashing Scorpio, Holly, Scotty, Heather, Lila, you get my drift. Luke will always be a nasty rapist no matter how well loved he is now. He oughta live in shame!
I've only seen a few episodes of this show ever but this is a phenomonal theme. It''s too bad the soaps (except for Y&R and Days) don't have these remarkable themes anymore!
mikeyb2049 . . . I totally agree with you ! ! I was a daytime freak before 1981 when the Procter & Gamble ruined their themes, by changing them. I miss this, even though I was never a GH fan. But the theme is cool.
@mikeyb2049 Y@R and Days still use the original but you could tell in later years they kinda changed part of the closing themes. Yes the same theme but you could tell it is was not so melodramatic by 93)
I hate soap operas but this reminds me of my grandmother who used to watch them faithfully. makes me sad and happy at the same time. Great theme.

What does Little House on the Prairie and General Hospital have in common ? They
used the same typography for their titles!

@TypesALot I did the same on Fridays. Though I was a faithful CBS soap watcher growing up, I LOVED this theme and would tune to it to listen to it.

@TypesALot I would also tune in on Friday's. I loved the extended credits. This is such a wonderful piece of music.

@wonderglory I agree with you. My mom used to watch this soap
and I remember hearing this theme and I fell in love with GH and
watched it from Luke and Laura's wedding until now. The new theme
makes me want to vomit. They should bring the opening
credits of the hospital and close the show with this theme.

@kresblain and he did the theme song to OLTL from 1975-84. Jack Urbont used this "Autumn Breeze" from 1975-1993(well maybe 1978)
