Per North and South, Bill Conti ha composto quella che può essere definita la sua opera magna. La mini serie, della Warner Bros, è stata trasmessa nel novembre del 1985 su ABC, in sei puntate da due ore. La colonna sonora di Conti ha riempito 29 bobine di nastro. Nei primi 3 CD si trova la colonna sonora originale e nel quarto invece una musica dell'epoca che è stata recentemente studiata e registrata per uno spettacolo. Basato sul romanzo di John Jakes, North and South con protagonista Patrick Swayze, James Read, Lesley-Anne Down, Wendy Kilbourne, Kirstie Alley, Jean Simmons, Terri Garber, Genie Francis e Davis Carradine e insieme a loro star come Robert Mitchum, Hal Holbrook, Johnny Cash, Gene Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor e Forest Whitaker.
