Gloria Loring & Carl Anderson - "Friends & Lovers"

There was a time when many women stayed home during the day and watched soap operas on television.  Back then, you watched television shows live--not via a DVR (although the VCR helped changed that by the mid-1980s).  Because of that, you wouldn't dare call someone at 2pm for fear of interrupting them while watching General Hospital.  Each soap had their own hero and villain, but also the resident power couple that the show's legions of fans aspired to be.  While General Hospital's resident power couple, Luke & Laura, had their own theme song ("Think of Laura" by Christopher Cross), Days of Our Lives' super couple Shane & Kimberly had "Friends & Lovers" as their anthem.
