I always found the satin sheets opening lurid and cheesy. Soft porn. It made me embarrassed for Viki and Dorian. Not so much for Rene.

The satin sheets opening always got a bad rap, but that is one gorgeous piece of music by Lee Holdridge. I always thought that at some point the show would keep that theme but change the visuals to actual cast members like they do today. Alas, we'll never know what that could have looked like.

@jsutiger07 mine is Kassie DePaiva's Version :)

OMG! Heather and David Tom! More awful than those damned billowing sheets!

@ClarenceFisher THANK YOU! Then executive producer, Linda Gottlieb, was quoted in Soap Opera Digest as saying the opening was supposed to emphasize how "romantic" the stories and the show was. It may have been THE worst TV opening EVER. The logo design was interesting, but the music and images sucked!

@jsutiger07 I like him too.

@Cyclops236 The music is, of course, another story. The satin sheets montage may look funny, but the music is really nice. It sounds like some experimental new-age stuff I stumbled on in the late 80's - early 90's. The only two pieces I didn't care for were the disco-pop (with and without lyrics) and the light-rock tune with the guitar.
-
@ClarenceFisher I agree with you on that one but I'll credit the music on all of them however. I want to know your opinion on the music as well.

Why are the openings more interesting than the shows these days?

Weren't those lyrics awful? It seemed like they were conjured up at the last minute to fit the tune, instead of how it should have been composed - lyrics first, then the tune.
my favorite one is the one where peabo bryson was singing. To this day the song still get stuck in my head sometimes.

The 1984-91 version and the 1995-2000s intros were the best OLtL intros.
The one used from 1968-mid '70s seemed very creepy, considering the original show's title name was supposed to be called "Between Heaven and Hell" but was still unique in a way.
The 1975-80 and 1980-84 versions were OK.
The Satin Sheets intro, I could of done without.
