[whitee1970]

I was 12 and thursday nights 8:00 highlight of my week, god they were the good old days. Such great memories. :-)

[Laraghlover1]

Dont supppose anyone knows the guitar chords for this?xxx

[darrenrobertw]

I was in love with julie haha

[janr76]

B.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.T.

I had a total seizure and pulled this out of my memory, and then someone mentioned the cassette tape, and then i checked itunes and OHMYGODITSONiTUNES! Best 6 pounds I ever spent.

So yeah - thanks all! Fab memories...

[halfpint2412]

I just seen this episode today . last time I seen it, it came out in 1982 when I was 12 yrs old. My sister sang this in the junior high talent show. great memories

[baugergroup]

I used to love this song so much. I bought the album as a child.

[argiemerc]

I still have the cassette.

Is it just me or this shows were way much better than "glee" and all those music things airing nowadays ?

I actually think all shows from that era were the best. Or maybe the fact that we were kids was the good part.

Lots of memories.

God, there's high fidelity !!!

[iw32]

I wish I had a girlfriend who looked like Lori Singer but I'm fat,hairy and balding.

[JessicaMidnight]

wasn't she in Footloose ? Sorry before my time. lol I was born at the end of the *80s but i like the music.

[iscrca]

@JessicaMidnight Yes she was, she played Ariel, the pastors daughter. Totally different character. I liked her in fame better she played the cello. I think she sings pretty good. This song is so heartbreaking. That is exactly how I feel when I break up with someone. Footloose was a good movie with a good story line.

[iw32]

This song has a second verse that's on the Kids from Fame album.

[SarahHSM12]

Has she got a cold? But good gutair skills

[iw32]

Lori Singer isn't much of a singer but the song is moving though.

[rociotanante]

Fame is still one of these shows that make my heart jump. I am almost 41 y.o. and I feel privileged that I had the chance to see and hear these guys being a teenager.

[protec8118]

It's funny - I was at my peak (ish) when this song was out - its almost 30 years ago, I have to lie down, I feel old - I'm only 41. however I have wonderful memories of this song - I can still smell the air - beautiful memories, simple song - forever young.

[mcrecords]

I really fell in love for Lori in those days when i was only 13 years old.

Every time I see this video I remember that feeling that makes me feel good.

[TheRealThingYES]

This is Lori Singer-- Ariel in Footloose!! totes diff!!beautiful in thistoo! in footloose totes diff!

...Lori SInger is a total babe !!!

[fercanase]

lori singer rol julie miller maravillosa, guapa, y buena actriz cuando se fue de fama hasta llore pero luego me alegre en la gran pantalla con ella en peliculas como footloose, el juego del halcon,el hombre del zapato rojo, inquietudes, warlock, vidas cruzadas etc siempre contigo I love lori

[garbage63]

Hey, that's not Ween. ugh, how disappointing.

[WestLondonDroog]

I liked her in VR5.

[mcelvas]

Was the boyfriend in an episode of Monk as an FBI agent?

[nealbrice]

@mcelvas He is from "eight is enough" way back in the 80"s

[kamwrites]

That's what you get for not reading the blurb. :)

[Vanda67]

It's not because it ain't your type of music that you have to misjudge us cause you don't seem to k now what good music is

[izzytastic01]

amen

[jamiegrifter]

What memories! i know she's not the greatest singer and she never made out that she was. But I think her vocals suit the song and add to the vulnerability of the track. Nice one Lori considering you were only really there to play the chello!

[XxrorokittyxX]

I need the karaoke of this song for monday...

can anyone help me?? =(

please...!

[keith490783]

I used to love Fame and had a bit of a crush on Lori Singer, however I remember this episode where she was heart-broken and Bruno gave her this song, but what happened to the 2nd verse?:

"It's all gone, but the memories

come back in scattered pieces

Your eyes shine (Your eyes shine)

Your smile glows (Your smile glows)

and my loneliness for you increases

[Gulftastic]

I've still got the first two Kids From Fame albums on vinyl. I know every single note of every song.

[minisophii]

This song gives me goose bumps! Fantastic memories!!

[Sheelamay]

For those who are dissing the singing - Lori Singer's character was there for her cello abilities... not her singing. Plus, if you had seen this episode, she said she wasn't a "singer" before the song started... but it was a song that Bruno had written from a poem she'd written - so she was trying it out.

[deafwarrior]

What a cute song.....Fame really rock in my era.

Kids these days just doesn't get the same doses.

[vixenbbw]

This is the first song a ever recorded myself singing!!

Oh god the memories!!

Vix x

[emmalovesgod]

i lived for this show love to see reruns

[dramaticguy]

When Julie left the show,she didn't even get a leaving scene,just the other Fame kids finding out from her mother,she maried a body builder who Doris said had "no neck">

Bit of a sad ending for Julie

[Superbokka]

Its says performed by Lori Singer surely u mean butchered.

[tawnteens]

When I was 13 I would listen to this every night. Teenage Blues, I guess. All over a cute Italian boy!

[cwecub]

PRETTY SONG, SHITTY VOICE

[Superbokka]

Yeh Simon cowell would have a field day with her.your voice is shit.next lol.

[1angel23]

So true. If all of the kids went up before Simon which ones do you think would get past their first audition?

[Silvia212]

hm.. maybe coco, doris fo sure, and danny from the first season

[Honeylinkus]

She really wasn't a very singer! It still bought back loads of memories so thanks for posting!

[brooksidebilly]

god this brings back memories - of when i was a kid..

greatt to her it again - i still remember the words - how sad !! im 42 now..

[Suzie1361]

I'm the same, Im 37 and I was actually crying at Stargazer a few minutes ago!! My cousin and I used to do this one when asked to sing at family parties etc., I haven't sung it in years and I still know it! Brilliant memories!

[wallbeck]

darn I can't remember the storyline for this episode... and I watched them alllllllll

[Sheelamay]

I tried to explain the storyline, but it was too many letters - so I'll try to message it to you. If it's any help to jog your memory - it's the one with the Mannequin song at the end, and with the student teacher/journalist who tries to take advantage of Lori Singer's character.

[wallbeck]

ah... it's coming back to me.... Thx

[simplex666]

bad voice but i liked her on "Fame" !!

[morningsideman]

i love this song

[screwthisrock]

Mmm... reach for the gin...

[MIKESEAGREEN]

COOL.
