Young and The Restless November 19th, 2009 song "One and Only"

Hello Soap Fans - sorry if I've let you down, not blogging recently. There's been a lot of "stuff" going on in my life. But I'm back, because some fans asked me to get the info on the song that played on Y&R's November 19, episode. It was played at the end of the show, with Billy and Mack in the scene when Cloe walked back in the house. Some of the lines in the song were "These waves are crashing up and down. I need your hope I need your tenderness You are my begining and my end".

That was the song "One and Only” by Chris Carpenter. Please check this talented singer-songwriter out at his website and download the song from Itunes.

That's it for now. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! And remember to check out the classic songs on our Soaps CDS and downloads on the www.soapsongs.com site!

ONE LIFE TO LIVE - song montage at end of 2/3/09 episode

Wonder what that song was at the end of ONE LIFE TO LIVE's February episode? It was "WHEN IT'S ALL IN PIECES" - an original song written for the show that is not commercially available at the moment.
But fans...at last there a music section on SOAPNET.COM so that people can check every week, if they have questions about songs played on the show . Here is the link:

They are also trying to get these ABC songs up on itunes but there is always a lag of a few weeks.

Several people emailed me about the pretty song at the end of December 16th's Y&R when Gloria was being booked, Adam was at the airport and the DA was looking out the window. It was a song by Michael Kisur called "Precious Time" and I believe you can download it from his website: www.michaelkisur.com

Best to all of you!
