Edwin around this time edge was running different groups of credits each day. One day they would run the writing credits thr next day the production credits the next day the cast credits on some days just the fashion credits and on some particularly long episode days none at all. In this instance from late summer 1971 they ran both the writing and production credits together. Very rarely would they run all of credits at this point.

Wow, this brought back a very clear memory of mine when I saw the name "Diane Ladd" come up in "The Secret Storm" closing credits. (I was just 14 in the first part of 1971). Miss Ladd might well be one of the biggest and most recognized (and awarded) Hollywood stars to ever have appeared in a daytime soap opera, as a "regular" and ongoing character (1971-1972). I well recall watching her on "The Secret Storm," with my Grandmother and Aunt (after school in 1971). Diane Ladd is still with us, at age 87, in early 2023 and by all accounts is still active and going strong - bless her heart! Thank you for the very fun life-flashback! Cheers to all!!

Over 50 years ago, I wasn’t born yet until 1973 during the summertime because I was in a baby during the time when CBS was airing these intros and closings of these various soap opera shoes because my mother used to always sit in front of the television just to watch every soap opera, which came to television back there.

I think after '72 most of the daytime soaps stopped using organ music. That was a throwback to the days of radio in the 1920's.

[@KentB3]

As the World Turns, Guiding Light, and Search For Tomorrow switched over to pre-recorded orchestral music in December 1973, not sure about Edge of Night.

[@Soapking1965]

[@jamescarcione3501]

The soaps were never the same after the organ music was retired,that was do disagreements with the musicians union. Organ music set the mood for mystery shows and the serials,kept you on the edge of your seats. And those rapid closeups when something was seen or heard. I also remember when the serials were done live. Wish we could go back.❤.

[@markfaulkner5626]

I knew from the first few notes Eddie Layton wasn’t playing the Love Is a Many Splendored Thing theme in this episode. John Winters has a few albums of organ music, but I never heard his name before today. Do any soap/music aficionados know if Winters subbed on other daytime dramas? Tusen takk to Rick for sharing these remarkably rare soap closings.

[@byrd56]

I found out that Winters was the organist for a radio soap called "Young Widder Brown", which ended in 1956 on NBC. So he must have been that experienced. I wouldn't know, though, if he was a stand-in or a replacement for Layton. Even so, this arrangement of the "LMST" theme (both it and the show are loosely based on the 1955 movie of the same name) sounded very distinctive. The melody part had that bell-like sound, and there was some degree of improvisation, too. Interestingly, I'm sure you may remember that when "LMST" premiered in Sep 1967, replacing "Password" on CBS, it initially played recorded music cues before changing to the live organ about a year after.

[@markfaulkner5626]

@@byrd56 Winters was a temporary substitute for Eddie while he vacationed during the summers. Eddie remained the show’s primary organist through the end of the series in March 1973. Although the melody is the same, there are distinct differences between John’s and Eddie’s playing styles. You’re correct. LIAMST did premiere with recorded music, composed and conducted by Wladimir Selinsky. CBS dropped Selinsky following the American Federation of Musicians strike in October/November 1968. The network owned LIAMST and realized how much money they would save by hiring Layton to score and play music live.

[@jehobden]
