The Idolmaker - Here Is My Love

[bayknight20]

Where is the mic supposed to be??

[songtann]

Too cute.... Sharkey in the back ground....

[TheRyryramone]

The remake is not happening Gossling is too busy is was to be his debut as a director & while Ray Sharkey may have been a great actor he was a horrible human being, he knowingly had unprotected sex w/ women after he found out he had A.i.D.S. , he in his macho Ny Italian way believed that the A.I.D.S. he had would not harm him or anyone ,but he was wrong & did infect innocent people w/a deadly virus that @the time of Shrkey's Death in 1993 was still a death sentence. Great actor/ awful person

[kpaws22]

they are remaking with ryan gossling (sp)

[missylvsdeb9598]

What i find funny is the new song save me san francisco is the very same music. nice rip off fuckers this song was first!

[bigsoundp]

wonderful movie. they better not be remaking it.

[Bodebodango]

All the little girls wetting themselves,are now 40 years old!Ouch!

[thetruckernurse]

for my nurse.. hehehehe

[kissdemonette]

They're remaking The Idolmaker ??? WHY?

[d1groovy2]

cant wait for the remake!!! one of my favs!!

[jswarriors320]

yup thats my uncle so proud

[beachcomber20]

great movie ..

[NickOleThunder]

where can i get this movie from

[FredericaBimble]

At 0:34 one must ask: "what would Britney do?"

[FredericaBimble]

I remember seeing this when it first came out and I was just in my teens and even then I thought "Tommy" was SO much hotter than "Chaz." This guy just oozes pure sex....

[arnold84500]

@FredericaBimble r u homosexual? we must hunt u down!

[pampers50]

actually, quite a few if you are incorrect. This movie did come out in 1980, and Ray Sharkey did die in 1993, but it wasnt due to aids or drug use...he contracted aids through a blood transfusion. RIP Ray

[dslyny1]

I believe the previous comment is wrong ...this movie came out in 1980, Ray died June 11, 1993 as per Wikipedia. One of my favorites.

[JPPT1974]

Ray had he lived, would had been a De Niro or a Pacino. Sadly drugs among many other things, killed him. RIP Ray. BTW, for the record he passed away in 1980.

[flowergirlDeb]

I haven't seen ANY proof that Paul Land(Colandrillo) has died. Some girl, calling herself Maria Colandillo, on the IMDB board, claims to be Paul's daughter.. and in 2 separate posts, she claims he passed on Dec 30th 2007, and then on another post claims a date of Dec 31st 2007. If she is his supposed daught, you would think she would get her dates correct! I'd like to see some other documentation before actually accepting this 'Maria' fragmented posts.

[flowergirlDeb]

@flowergirlDeb sorry for the typo.. obviously should be 'daughter'

[Ileana105]

@flowergirlDeb - He died December 30, 2007. You can find it on Wikipedia. RIP Paul and Ray!

[jimilove5]

awesome

[jasminecorvette]

RIP Paul Land....He passed away in 2007 at the age of 51...awesome talent

[clevelandindians2482]

whos the 1 golf ball that disliked this video........i guess hes just another fart in the breeze.

[palmerc3po]

@765tony jesse frederick,he did mostly tv themes

[aaronlisa08]

I remember this movie! I loved it!

[rdhmommy]

[IAmViviLee]

[rcajun91405]

I can tell you I used to watch this movie on the ship at sea when we got it. If anyone chose to take a cassette copy or vinyl and decided to make digital cds, they would not get in any trouble since the copyright on this is long gone. Do you know how many fans of this movie is out there and would love a copy of the whole soundtrack?

[chuckrock68]

I watched this movie when I was 12 years old and fell in love with it.. The music is awesome and Ray Sharky was one of americas great actors.. Paul Land was a played an awesome Tommy Dee. I just ordered the soundtrack on LP with a cd transfer and I'm sitting here waiting for it so I can take it to the beach with me.. I'm sure it will drive my older brother crazy.... LMBO

[sfmpr]

Ray Sharkey, under appreciated major talent. THE BEST MOVIE EVER !!

[rezindian06]

Ive been trying to download this song.....I loved this movie too. Anyone know where I can download it????

[dflorez65]

@rezindian06 Well I am sure there are less complicated ways than my method but here goes. I use the download helper on Firefox to save the .flv file. I then use a converter to change to an .avi file. THEN I use Switch sound file converter to rip the audio from the video. Hope this helps.

[argylekilliam]

Damn shame that Ray Sharky passed away in 1998 from aids, he was a great but under rated actor. The Idolmaker awesome flick, I love watching it on dvd every sunday afternoon

[richie649]

man that little cheez ball turntable pumps out some great sound!, where can i get one?

[clevelandindians2482]

great clip from a great movie.with all the crap on top 40 radio in 1980 how was this song not pushed to all the stations?

[eteachout]

You are TOO awesome for posting this.... I LOVE this movie, the music is GREAT and Ray Sharky was terrific.

[MsDivaDee100]

i saw this movie when i was a kid and i never forgot it they just dont movies like this i love this movie

[dmarco46]

this is my shit!

[Cubachik]

This is terrific - can you PLEASE post "Ooo Wee Baby"? (Darlene Love)

[fordswilldominateall]

@Cubachik I have looked for that song everywhere, its impossible to download.

[Cubachik]

@fordswilldominateall Thanks for trying anyway!! I love it so much.

[guarddog22]

This is the scene where you really see how the idolmaker is the man behind the "star", when you see him back there doing the same dance moves, almost like he's controlling a puppet onstage.

[cneveau]

Hi. The brunette is not Cherie Felice. I know this because I am Cherie Felice. I also am in the film, but I am in the American Bandstand scene with Tommy Dee.

[emaildre51]

wow this is my Fav movie of all times I can watch this over and over

[Marleighmax]

I can't find this on iTunes!

[angst73]

Thanks, Mr. Z. I plan on seeing this great show again tomorrow.

[mrzchozenone]

The brunette's name is Cherie Felice I believe. Not sure who the blonde is though. This flick brought back so many memories. One of my all time faves.

[cneveau]

@mrzchozenone Hi. i just wanted to let you know that the brunette was not Cherie Felice. I know this because I am Cherie Felice. I am in the movie but I am in the American Bandstand scene with Paul. I had so much fun filming this movie. I was only fifteen years old.

[angst73]

Who is the brunette that the manager tells Tommy to look at? She is awfully familiar.

The little blonde that is in the front row also is very familiar. Who is she?

If you know, please tell me!

[usquity]

esos de you tube las pueden encontrar ese video viva honduras

[RobRussoSNJ]

DVD is remastered digitally and available at BESTBUY. Just got it...great film!

[FredericaBimble]

Is this what happened to Britney?

[FredericaBimble]

Actually, that's the job I want!  To work the record player at Britney's live shows.

[FredericaBimble]

I thought he was so sexy in this film and I favoured him over Peter. Paul just exudes sexuality. It's his hip movement and the way he uses his eyebrows. Also, even though he's in character, his confidence is very attractive.

[pesadilla143]

This movie should have been bigger than it was.

[MarcusDarling4026]

This is the pride AND bane of producers, since the beginning-

..injecting their essence into acts that can only emulate the original. My creative philosophy is based on this ism.

I guess you fig it out-

I'm a producer!

lol

1:41

[lpunchya]

were could you get this song

[giddyup66]

one of my favorite movies as a kid and I still have it on vhs....

[faithful4]

Peter looks like Prince in this movie. Tommy Dee, looks sexier.

[54nomore]

Ray Sharkey if I'm not mistaken was nominated for various awards for this role. The songs in this movie I felt were good enough to make it on the charts. It's a shame Ray Sharkey left us too soon...

[MiseryLovesMe247]

I love this movie! So much! Everyone laughs at me for loving it. Because I'm 16. :P

[RitaAnne]

Saw this again on the MGMHD Channel. I did see when it was first released. I love Ray S. and this music..I love it!

[Hearts912]

Great Movie!! one of my favs

[louman197]

can someone paste the whole movie,Please?!!!

[digikitty11]

One of my favorite movies ever. Loved it, and thought Paul Land was sooooooooo sexy and handsome! Peter Gallagher was great too, but Tommy Dee had that bad-boy attraction. I've had the DVD for awhile, got to watch it again. Also still have the LP record I bought so many years ago now. There's a brochure with the DVD that provides some interesting comments...to capture the authenticity of the cast's performances, scenes were filmed in actual bars, concert halls, and school gyms.

[skibeedon]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tommy D!!!

stupid kid

[broot4u]

It's funny, I saw this movie years back and absolutely fell in love with it. Ray Sharkey gave a brilliant performance, so much so I can still feel everything that actor put across all these many years later. It's funny this film stayed with me in my subconcious for over twenty years and is still fresh to me when I watch these clips. I only wish I owned a copy of this on DVD, I really would love to watch it all the way through again. Kudos to the entire production. is a timeless and great film.

[louman197]

can you paste the whole movie on youtube?

[spookielectric]

Ray Sharkey just oozed with passion and carisma in thus movie, a very talented actor who unfortunately became a casualty of drug abuse and aids.

[Franzapooch]

Damn!

I haven't seen this in more than 20 years!!

One of my favorite movies of all time!

Thanks for sharing.

[fatred06321]

My uncle Robert Marcucci made this movie :p

[ScottyTheMan215]

yeah! tommy dee!

[mybabba]

I thought Paul Land was cuter than Peter in this movie, although Peter Gallager was hot stuff, too.

[otto3391]

check out my dad's documentary type in michael's basement

[edrinag]

Tommy Dee is super sexy!

[hectorxyz123]

I remember when i saw this movie, it made me feel like i could be someone, i just needed someone to believe in me, later i became a male dancer in Iowa, and i did that song, I felt so great. I got to feel what he felt when people were calling out my name. I will always remember that feeling.

[LedHed65]

WOW, I had no ideal Ray died. He use to be one of my favorite actors...First seen this movie when i was 15.

Very good info with the previous posts...Thanks!

[crazylady46661]

interesting

[otto3391]

when is this comin out on dvd

[NinaMYo]

:( :(

[mxzptlk10]

I finally found the whole thing: Paul Land is the actor that plays Tommy Dee, Jesse Fredericks is the actual singer, and Jeff Barry is the writer of all the film songs

[ihatelazypeople]

thank you

[river2walk]

Ray Sharkey did die from AIDS which is no shame whether a person is gay or straight, but before he did and knowing he had advanced AIDS he slept with many women and condemned an unknown number of them to a lingering, painful and premature death. His talent as an actor can't be denied but as a human being he was cold unfeeling and a complete failure

[mxzptlk10]

The actor is Paul Land. Does any one knows if he actually sings? If not, who's the real singer?

[FORZA516]

He was from North Bergen, NJ and he didn't sing. I use the past tense because he recently passed away. He used to be good friends with a cousin of mine and I actually met him. The guy had alot of style. It's too bad he didn't do more acting work.

[Beatpoet7371]

Lip syncing here like Milli Vanilli (even some record skipping) and not even trying to hide it! LOL! Vocals for 'Baby' and 'However Dark the Night' are actually Peter Gallagher (Caesare) -- what a brilliant voice; however, Paul Land (Tommy Dee) doesn't actually sing. Vocals for 'Here is My Love' and 'Sweet Little Lover' are by Jesse Frederick, who composed and recorded both songs in 1971. Jesse Frederick is a TV composer (Perfect Strangers, Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step).

[rock4sevenss77]

i love this movie

[x0jem]

for the record he did not die of aids..you guys need to get your facts straight before you go posting them on the internet..RIP<33

[devilsfan1986]

God! I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years. I need to see it again.

[Champana69]

I absolutely loved this movie, is it possible for you to put the whole movie on YouTube in 5 min increments???

[beatlejuice72]

I thought it was funny how at 0:36 the girls in the audience let out a gasp as if Tommy's hair caught on fire. LOL. Great song from a great movie!

[CrazyDiamond5321]

Yeah, Ray Sharkey is certainly one of Hollywood's unsung heroes, wonderful actor.

[ihatelazypeople]

i'm sure the 4 women he gave hiv to agree

[arnold84500]

@ihatelazypeople they r no longer around to complain.

[ihatelazypeople]

not sure if the 4-5 women he gave hiv to would agree

[koshernostra421]

He died of AIDS.

[TuChicaBoricua1]

great memories...great movie

[MindayyChang]

loved it.

just loved it

[leathermo66]

Man, I remember this movie saw it way back in 80. nice soundtrack.

[Lumpy63]

Saw this great movie in the theaters in 1980, Ray Sharkey RIP, won a golden globe for best actor, and he is fabulous! Jessie Frederick actually sang the Tommy D's songs, he later sang the theme song to Full House.

[tonigallo]

What ever happened to Paul Land? How come there are no recent photos of him? Has he disappeared from the face of the Earth?

[FORZA516]

He recently passed away.

[sweetbabyboo5]

WHO?

[FORZA516]

Paul Land, real name Paul Calandrillo. I heard from liver desease. He used to be good friends with one of my cousins.

[Beatpoet7371]

Ray Sharkey died in 1993 of AIDS, but Paul Land, who played Tommy Dee, is alive. He currently runs a construction business in New Jersey under his real name Paul Calandrillo.

[arnold84500]

@Beatpoet7371 Bullshit! Elvis is still alive too.

[mc2689]

great movie, great songs..

[derrick009]

this is my favorite movie of all time. great moive a classic
