- “Nadia’s Theme” was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin, Jr. in 1971. Originally titled “Cotton’s Dream,” the piece was written as incidental music for the 1971 film “Bless the Beasts and Children,” and subsequently released on the film’s soundtrack album. Since the 1973 debut of the television soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” the song has been used as the theme music for the series.
During the 1976 Summer Olympics, the ABC program “Wide World of Sports” used “Cotton’s Dream” as background music for a montage of routines by Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci. The song was further associated with Comăneci in the broadcast of “Nadia-From Romania with Love,” a TV special co-produced by CBS and Romanian television. Other versions of “Nadia’s Theme” have been recorded by Ray Conniff, James Galway, Ferrante & Teicher, the Lawrence Welk Show, and Roger Williams. In this version, pianist Charles Manning improvises the award-winning song, “Nadia’s Theme.”

Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement (1978), Harry Betts, Perry Botkin, Jr., and Barry De Vorzon, Recipients, performed by Barry De Vorzon - เพลง

This song is forever stuck in my head. Spent so much time watching the show with grandma back in the 90's. Lovely, melancholy memories.
😢 Miss watching, Young and Restless with my grandma growing up watching it 😢❤
Nadia has a pretty tough life.
Truly genius, this is the best version of this timeless gem played in a piano concerto style. Very inspiring and a true delight to listen to, thank you.
Thanks so much for visiting Piano Pizzazz! I really appreciate your thoughts‼️ All best wishes… 🎹
This is by far the best version i have heard. You inspire me to play this
lmfao, then you haven't heard the REAL version by Henry Mancini. . . . . THAT IS IS THE BEST VERSION
Before I was old enough to go to school I’d lay down my dolls and run down the hall when I heard it playing. All I really knew was it reminded me my precious mom actually had something that was only hers. Young and the Reckless ❤
Love it!!
Beautiful Simply Beautiful
Beautiful song! I remember when “Traci”.. Beth Maitland… sang it after “Dina” passed away!! Y&R is my favorite show!!
This song is becoming my favorite song. So good
Lovely arrangement. I just started playing again after 15 years and it's tough, but pray I can play like you again someday. Thank you.

So in 93-96 I took piano lessons. In 97, I picked up the guitar and have been on that ever since. Now, I am going back to the piano. Great playing, sounds amazing

charles is great
Couldn't agree more! And he makes it all look so effortless.
On dirait le debut des feux de l'amour
Who actually wrote this theme, Barry or Mancini?
Do you have the partiture?
I grew up most of my entire life hearing this theme song. From my mom's show. It reminds me of her Everytime I hear it. She passed away in a hospital during the unfounded covid scare.
Her entire family or support system wasn't allowed to be by her side because of fauci's pandemic. The one he and his crownies invented for population control in China of all places.
I love and miss you mom, you were definitely the Young and Restless. Even in your glory or golden years.
La toca igualita q agasajo
I wish I could play piano😢
It’s never too late! 😃 Thanks for visiting Piano Pizzazz‼️
EXQUISITE !
The best version is from henry Mancini
