"Nadia's Theme" has been the theme music of "The Young and the Restless" since the show's debut in 1973. The melody, originally titled "Cotton's Dream", was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. for the 1971 theatrical film "Bless the Beasts and Children". The melody was later renamed "Nadia's Theme" after the American Broadcasting Company television network's sports summary program "Wide World of Sports" lent the music for a montage of Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci's routines during the 1976 Summer Olympics; despite the title, Nadia never performed her floor exercises using this piece of music. Instead, she used a piano arrangement of a medley of the songs "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" and "Jump in the Line."
