The Edge of Night 1972 Opening Theme

In '72, EON still had an organ theme by Paul Taubman. The announcer is the late Harry Kramer who was with the soap from 1957 until late 1972. This is for geoandscot. Hope you enjoy it.

This may have been answered elsewhere in the comments but.....What is the city being shown?

[saynotoursoap]

@calvintoronto The skyline is Cincinnati, Ohio, and the clip was filmed in the late 60's.

This is the open I remember and love ... used to scare the hell out of me as a kid but I watched anyway.

[AlbieGray]

You know it. And I can sympathize! It also scared the bejeebers out of me too!

I have been to Cincinnati many times, and there wasn't a Riverfront Stadium built just yet.

@whatanightmare1 Someday for your teenage daughter you will live out your Serena Farraday/Josie split personality fantasy and start playing the EON chords on the organ? LMAO!

[whatanightmare1]

@sneeyize45 LOL...yes, I stopped and actually learned to sympathize with folks, instead of playing dramatic chords and having fun at their expense :~) I now have a teenaged daughter and it gets really tempting at times.

[sneeyize45]

@whatanightmare1 And stopped playing the EON theme on the organ? LMAO! (At your story of course.)

although the networks are canceling the soaps why not they rerun these classic episodes so the younger generations can see them and those who grew up watching them can relive the memories.Please networks,dump the reality TV shows.

@Chicago10281 All of it! The music, the way the sky turned black, and Harry Kramer's voice! As a toddler, I used to go hide whenever I heard/saw it on TV. 

[whatanightmare1]

I used to drive my mom nuts playing those piano chords when something "not-so-good" would happen....Mom burned the roast...DUN..dun duhhhn...Bad news phone call, same thing. I finally grew into a compassionate person around age 23

@Sheri451 I was 8 years old in 1972, and trust me, it scared ME outta my wits, especially if it was a rainy day outside!
