Trusting that people here enjoy these. This and other videos Obsolete Video features come from private home recordings that used early home video equipment. As a note, the networks and Proctor and Gamble did not archive many soap opera shows before the late 1970s period, so ones taped with early home video recorders are gems for famous actors' early appearances, etc.
Do people here remember when organ music was used in soaps, as I recently read that this was done until about the early '70s.

I always think of “As the World Turns” that was on when they broke in with the original bulletins on JFK getting shot.

I remember my baby sitter listening to the soaps on the radio—this was in the late 40s. Yes organ music pumped up the drama.

I remember Dark Shadows creeped me out when I was a little kid.

Good stuff! I was eight years old that summer and I remember my mother had those soaps on constantly. So the music and some of the graphics are familiar. I definitely remember the Hollywood Squares. Lily Tomlin looked young!
It's amazing how the brain can recall something from 50 plus years ago.
