I absolutely agree. Tears are streaming down my face as I listen to this most beautiful composition. Images of days long past suddenly take center stage, the laughter, the pain and disappointment that I chose to forget but have never been able to become vivid once again.

This is one of the top things missing from television today: well crafted theme music! It matters!

Holy cow what fantastic music that was. We used to watch that every week. Spoiled with the luxury of that theme!

The 1980s were so awesome!!

Bill Conti is a genius. His understanding of music theory is ot of this world. His contol of melody creates such a sweet, ethereal listening experience. the Dynasty theme is for sure one of his greatest works.

Everytime i hear this music come tears in my eyes, my heart beats so fast. So many memories..

I took a brief business trip to Denver once....and this song was playing on a continuous loop in my head a lot!

Bill Conti is such an underrated composer.

Mummy's favorite show, memories of us watching together ❤RIP mummy ❤ Thank you Bill Conti, such a genius!

Makes my hairs stand on end. What a masterpiece.

Beautiful piece! Reminds me of growing up in the 1980s!

What a superb main title. Conti was at the peak of his creative powers at the time.

BEST THEME SONG in the history of all TV shows. This is a powerful orchestral song which perfectly simulated the powerful people on the show. This song can never be beat. Thank you for uploading this powerful memory

This makes me think about my grandparents 😭😭😭

I have come across this video only today, refreshing memories from late 80s when Dynasty was one of my favourite shows. No doubt, Bill Conti who produced this classic theme is a genius composer along side others such as Henry Mancini and John Barry.

As a Colorado native, I loved all the scenes of the mountains and of Denver, my hometown. I was on active duty in North Dakota during the early 1980s, and the Dynasty scenes and music kept me going!

i was a weee weee young lad in Holland when my mother was watching this every Saturday.

This theme just takes me back to when I was a little girl, good memories. 🍸

Absolutely beautiful piece of music it brings tears to my eyes anytime,it reminds me of better times like when my parents were happy also reminds of being a kid again with a warm heart without a care in the world.I cannot express how much I thank you for this,words cannot comprehend how much it means to me.

Dynasty for ever...sooo sadly....this time will never come back 😞

Incredible...i never forget...

everybody was glued to the tv for this.

I've never watched Dynasty but I love listening to its theme, it's so beautiful. Bill Conti is a great composer.

When weekly TV series had 3 minute theme songs.

I ❤️ this theme so much ! The 80's an incredible decade 🔥🌞

Hands down the best theme song for a television show in American history. It's absolutely perfect.

Bill Conti is another great composer,may God almighty bless him,along with john Barry,anyone who entertains us is blessed person,may they live to be over 10010,years in good health.Amen.!

This was one of those shows that I would watch only for the theme music. Dallas was another.

I remember watching this with my Grandpa. Music touches your soul!

Respect. Great symphony Mr. Conti

Anyone who dislikes this video lacks that "Dynasty Dazzle".

I am addicted, ADDICTED! I say! all the versions soothe my soul. Thank you Mr. Bill Conti!

What an amazing theme song that triggers so many good memories!!

Bill Conti is amazing!!!! But this is his best. Beautiful!!!!

Of Course.... After listening and thinking this is pure genius the name Bill Conti comes up....no surprise!!!!

Proper underrated soundtrack IMHO!!

Majestic rendition of the Dynasty theme!

entered Billboard Nov 6, 1982 ..reached #52

LOL I don't know about crying or anything, but this is a great cover of a great TV theme. Instantly reminds me opulence and the 80s. Bill Conti was a master of his craft.

I remember watching this on tv I was 10 years old

Reminds me of Bill Conti's other great composition: "North and South".

Never really watched the show (was too young) but the music!!!!! I remember moving to Denver in '05 I was playing this music in my car as I got into the city and it really made me tear up. Weird but true. 13 years later I'm still loving Denver.

always loved that trumpet since I play the trumpet

Epic!!! I was born in 1981 and Bill Conti is a goddamn genius!

This was like a soap opera and a great Western theme combined. God I loved the lily pond fight between Alexis and Krystal : p (I'm sure Blake was enjoying every bit of it and the indignant look was him trying hard not to crack up and smile)...

Linda Evans what a beautiful lady her eyes would just melt you.

Brings back memories of my sweet childhood

awesome arrangement. I think Bill Conti also wrote a lot of the score to the early Rocky movies as well. an impressive résumé...

I adore this piece of music....Love it!!!

So much here .. power, vulnerability ... tenderness. Suspense. What a great piece from Conti and played beautifully by the Houston Symphony. Bravo!

I used to watch this with my mom and uncle when I was a kid. This show so well the opulence and grandness of US at that time.

I'm Brazilian, when I was a teenager in 1980, I watched Dynasty, now in 2024, I listen to this music which is simply beautiful.❤❤

Bill Conti never fails, man! Want a perfect movie score? My choices would be either Bill Conti, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith or Alan Silvestri! Musical geniuses!

I watched this as a child just for the intro music theme 🎶 brilliant.

Can you imagine 3 minute opening titles on network tv or ANY tv platform now? Incredible. Class. The way it should be. *throws fur*

John Forsyth also known for lending his voice for Charlie's Angels as Charlie

Im cry .....!♡Best intro ever

Perhaps the best rendition of the theme, with the slightly slower tempo so you can sit back and enjoy the music more--very clever. I love how the trumpets play, with their very modest vibratos at the end of each note to elicit a feeling of helpless pleasure. Example starting at 1:47. This rendition is indeed so beautiful it can make a grown man cry, as suggested in the intro. Bill Conti would be very proud of this one.

LOVE THE THEME SONG Bill Conti did a GREAT JOB !!!

Wonderfull. I remember the 80th. What for a powerfull time.

Get to bed are three syllables I'll ever associate with Conti!! Get and bed are two of them x x

lived in Denver....gorgeous city, God's country.

That's a bad ass fucking song or intro or whatever u want to call it. I was about 15 years old or so and now I'm in my 40's. How time just goes by. I have older relatives dying around me not to mention friends. Its all a circle of life, which sometimes is sad but that is the way it is.

This is from the very first episode. This brings back many memories when I was a kid. I would stay up a few hours past my bedtime.

A lot of people outside America watched Dynasty and thought it portrayed average American lifestyle.

Denver! A great city!

This and the 70's Masterpiece Theater intro music are my two favorites. *THANKS* !!

Beautiful

I want this song played at my funeral. EVERYONE should go out with beautiful, uplifting music playing, instead of sad sieges. Viva la Vida.

Such better days.

my mum and her friend used to watch this show when i was a kid. i used to stand in front of the mirror pretending to put an earring in and then turn around, until i got caught

Amazing y'all much obliged for the upload

id give my soul to go back to the 80s, rememberdynasty an twin peaks, 30 something all on abc. 2021 is a nightmare compared to the 80s.

Bill Conti is a master of themes !

Regal as F**K ! I love this music !

Beautiful music❤❤

FANTASTIC ...

Great theme song! Interestingly, the home used for Blake Carrington in Dynasty is actually located in the Silicon Valley in Northern California and not outside of Denver, Colorado. It is called Filoli and it is located in Woodside, California -- less than 25 miles south of San Francisco and just off of scenic Interstate 280. The estate encompasses 650+ acres and is open to the public. My wife and I have toured the area a few times. It was once owned by a wealthy gentleman who owned one of the largest and most successful gold mines in California. Although it sounds like it has a Latin basis, the name "Filoli" doesn't really mean anything in the romance languages. It was actually an acronym for Fight, Love, Live -- using the first two letters of the owner's personal mantra: "Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life." After his death, a shipping magnate purchased the estate as a place to raise his family. He expanded the gardens, ranch and stables. After his death, his widow donated the home. The property is located less than a mile from the San Andreas fault and on the peninsula in-between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. If you ever have a chance to visit the home, you should do it! Whenever I visit, I can't help but "hum" this theme in my mind. Since there are reports that Dynasty is being picked up for a reboot, I wonder if they will be filming here or using the theme again.

This is the version used in the pilot. It's slower, longer and much more powerful. I would argue that this just might be the most spectacular TV show theme of all time.

Just great to relive these memories from TV again, thankyou for sharing MagicMindTrick

Simply *SPLENDID*

Bill Conti,genius.

The interiors of the Carrington house are much darker in the first season. Great theme! I always felt the version used for the first season was better than the later one.

if I get married THIS will be my wedding march!

Not until "Downton Abbey". did a TV theme song exhibit so much raw power and emotion. A gorgeous piece of music

Great Bill Conti

If America had a 'Royalty Song' this would pretty much be it.

I love that American luxury car, which is a expression of American style.

Loved this show!

it's awesome and fantastic american drama, thanks got in have seems to again!

So you're telling me the North and South theme is really just this retooled slightly? Damn you Bill Conti, being all Hans Zimmer before Hans Zimmer was Hans Zimmer!

I just remember the beautiful shiny skyscrapers

To me, it's much better than the original score for the show. Gotta love them horns, my god those horns!

Dynasty, the Bold&the Beautiful, Jurassic park themes say what you will but nothing can take that music away. They instill greatness!

It's a beautiful piece of work, quite European almost with a bit of American snazz to it, it's very regal, quite fitting to the subject matter.

0:55 always hooked me I'd freeze in front of the tv and just the music take over

the BEST tv serial of all times and the best intro !!!!

my father and mother Break op ....Make me cry ...This intro

on the danger of outing myself as an unbearably nostalgic, old fart: having grown up with this extraordinary piece of music, just about every week...just now, i realize how beautiful it is and how woefully it was burnt on some TV piece of trash....and how it compares to the abomination of an (added 90`s yamaha keyboard autobeat) of the reboot...full disclosure - i always rooted for cliff barnes @dallas too

BELLISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
