As you're interested, if you can track down the first appearance, it would add to the mention. 617:, not something posted by an average person on YouTube, thus that it is why it is currently not included. Did Mancini compose his own separate arrangement/version, or was he and his orchestra just merely playing one of De Vorzon and Botkin's arrangement outright -- including either the 1973 rearranged version for 482:

If someone can come up with the name of the person who recorded the version that had lyrics, and/or the person who wrote those lyrics and when and why, we could cite that and put it in the article. Anybody interested can search the net, inquire in record stores or at easy listening radio, and post

I think we should somehow make this clear, perhaps by clarifying in a hatnote that "This article is about the piece by Barry de Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. originally known as "Cotton's Dream". For the piece by Vladimir Cosma, see the article on 506:
In late July 1976 (I assume, since that's when the games were going on), ABC used a version of the song (most likely the 1971 "Cotton's Dream" recording, since CBS would've owned the soap opera theme), during a Nadia Comăneci montage broadcast as part of that network's Summer Olympics TV
534: 516: 510:
On 28 August 1976, in response to ABC viewer inquiries about the song, A&M Records released a single containing an extended edit of De Vorzon & Botkin's 1971 version as "Nadia's Theme (The Young and the Restless)"

On 23 November 1976, a version (which?) of the song was used in the "Nadia—From Romania with Love" TV special, which aired on CBS and which was co-produced by CBS and Romanian television.

So if it was called "Nadia's Theme" in 1974, and Nadia Comăneci wasn't competing internationally until 1975, is it possible the title is referring to some other Nadia? —
