ROCKUMENTARY: DECEMBER 13, 1976

#8 – Barry DeVorzon & Perry Botkin: “Nadia’s Theme”

Barry wrote “Dreamin’” for Johnny Burnette in 1960 and founded Valiant Records, which signed the Association in 1966. Warner Brothers was sufficiently impressed with that act that they bought Valiant right out from under him.

He scored a number of films in the Seventies, and one of them, “Bless the Beasts and the Children”, a Stanley Kramer film, produced a song titled “Cotton’s Dream”. (I knew the executive producer of that film, a very difficult person.) It was picked up as the theme for the soap opera “The Young and the Restless” and re-titled as a tribute to gymnast Nadia Comeneci.

Perry worked as an arranged for some of the biggest acts in the game from the Fifties through the Seventies.
