This was when the great Valerie Starrett was on GH! Do you have any clips of her? I'd love to see her as Diana again. Before Luke and Laura stole the glow, she was what GH was all about-IMO!
Ooops---George Wright, not Charles Paul. I believe July 1976 is when they went to 45 minutes and that's when the Jack Urbont theme began, but maybe I'm wrong about that too. What I find really interesting, is ..given all the changes Gloria Monty made---she kept the racing ambulance, and the Jack Urbont theme. What I've always wondered is if Gloria would have retained the George Wright piano, also?, had it been in use when she arrived.
Yes, I was wondering what the opening was 1973-1975, before the ambulance? The piano was classic GH back from the time the show premiered. Was that a Charles Paul piano? Although, Jack Urbont's 1976? music does go with the racing ambulance a bit better, perhaps.
The visuals used prior to this were the simple displays of the show's title, and credits, over the black (then blue starting in '67) backgrounds which were introduced in November 1963. GH is notorious for its long-lasting visual packages! The first two piano themes were composed by Kip Walton, before Wright's came along in '75. Charles Paul didn't become musically involved with the show until about 1978 when Gloria Monty took over as EP.
say, do you happen to have the 60's opening credits version where the screen turns to blue at the end with the words general hospital? i would love to see that posted on youtube if u have a copy.
I have a blue version of the previous black & white visuals from late 1972, but it won't be seen until I complete my system upgrades. Also, I am currently trying to upload a file already on my PC of a 1968 closing, however that is in B&W (even though it originally aired in color).
that was funny I was born In late 1975 don't wanna know too much.

As you can see, my channel does not contain a classic GH library. These openings and closings were provided to me from a now-defunct website. Sorry.

The Hospital kinda looks like a haunted house in this.

@Z3R0FiR3 The actual hospital does indeed look scary... and I'm talking about the real hospital. It looks like a big haunted building.
