@tninbredretard Good looking? VERY VERY good looking and clean girl! I wish I could turn back the clock and I WOULD DO ANYTHING (legally) to have a date with her! (2)12/06/11@PM.
I have ALWAYS LOVED this song and Debby;s voice--so pure--so true. Something which for MANY YEARS you do not hear anymore. The so called Pop "singers" need a lot of "help" (electronics, synthesizers) to make them sound okay. The vast majority of REAL voices are in the Country music genre and others. BUT CERTAINLY NOT in Rap, which is NOT singing in the remotest resemblance of a voice!!
This is a beautiful song....it comes from the heart, the woman singing is fully dressed with NO SIGN OF sexual content, nor disgrace to the female community thank you for posting this.
I remember this song when I was 7. And the movie featuring it. Tell you the truth, I got here looking for a clip of the The Jeffersons, where George is in a recording studio singing this song with flare. As he's singing with gusto, Louise (Weezy) is being assaulted in the background. Classic! Still, glad I watched this vid.
She may be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Maybe not. But certainly her rendition of this song puts her over the top as the most beautiful woman on earth.
My mom was in highschool when this song came out , and she sang this for Marching Band class. She walked down the stairs in school colors and sang this in front of the student body , she says she always idolized Debbie Boone.
I was 13 also when this song came out and my sister got the 45. Heard it at least five times a day just from her alone. I have to say, after all these years, I still love this song!!!
Jeffrey Dahmer told a court psychiatrist that he would rape, dismember, and cannibalize his victims while he blasted this very song on his stereo; it was Jeffs fave.
My GOD !!!! Ive been saying this is the best version of this song anc countless singers have tried to do it from aretha franklin , whitney houston even boy zone they all fall short as far as im concerned but gee Debbie Boone is also the most gorgeous thing ... I think im in love lolololol
I was 13 yrs old when this came out and I got so tired of hearing it played on almost every radio station and tv variety show! Now, I listen to it for the first time in more than 30 years and I look back and wish that I was 13 again and still slow dancing, with my date, at our 7th grade school dance!
@JimiBLong .......AMEN!! I was 12 when it came out (turned 13 in December) and at first I was tired of it too but it eventually grew on me. The 70's were great....... music-wise, the TV programs back then, girls with LONG hair, tube tops, tight bell bottoms, etc.
Trivia: The song was released on August 16, 1977 - the day Elvis died.
Oh god. I was 17 when this song came out. If it played 1,000 times in one day on the radio, that's not an exaggeration. Everyone was singing it at every event. In church, at weddings, at school functions, holy cow man.
@minkymott NO, that is definitely not an exaggeration! :) I was in first grade, and I remember hearing this song as often as every 15 mins on the radio. It's like it became an anthem, or something. THE song of 1977.
@snoops71 I too was in 1st grade in 1977 and next to Star Wars this song was the biggest thing going. Debbie Boone was all over TV and radio. You literally could not get away from this song.
she looks beautiful, and good song. 70's a great decade.born in 1970, and the memerioes of childhood cant be beat. people got along in that decade the most out of every single decade.camping , magic mountain ,remember travel village next to magic mountain going camping in tents. sorry u young kids. u got rough times ahead.
@ ajax420336 and sormu16 Brooks was arrested on charges of raping 11 young actresses whom he lured to his apartment with the promise of movie roles. He was awaiting trial on 82 counts of sexual abuse. Do you think all 11 of those random girls got together to conspire against him? Get a grip!!! His own son is on trial for murdering his girlfriend, if you don't think that family has issues with women you must be an idiot and there is no reasoning with you after all ...
@travellinman321 You're the one who needs to get a grip. Maybe you shouldn't go believing every wild rumor you hear about someone just because they're famous.
the problem with trusting american rape claims against a celebrity claims is, that any accuser has a great chance for a huge amount of money. In case there has been a sexual relationship and if the woman feel cheated and sour, it is a very easy claim, which can never be disproven.
This song is to my baby. You do Light Up my Life :) I enjoy every monument with you Rico. I love you. It has been a long time my heart has soared high :)
@gtijerino First we lose Macho Man, then Joey Brooks. It's been a tough week for America. In fact, I would venture to say we have gone through more difficulties this year than any other country in the world.
RIP Joe Brooks, truly a fine human being and paragon of American song writing.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Debbie you are the daughter of our Great Pat Boone. WHAT talent your whole famlly had. I know when my daddy alive Debbie's mommy came along to camp grounds with the 101 ranch boys; My daddy and other musicians would come to these times of singing and sharing music and the Foley Gals were there too. My Aunty had pics of those times; I cherish seeing them from time to time. LOVE you Debbie and wish you the best in life. YOU sure cheered up our lives with song. <3 YOU Dearly.XXXOOO :-))))
I first heard this song in the episode of The Simpsons called "I Married Marge". Homer and Marge sing it in the car and it's such an up-lifting song! Love it!
I don't make this sort of comment often but when I turned on my computer today I somehow was prompted to view a snippet of Brittney Spear's new "song" and video. Tarted up like a platinum blonde hooker who can barely "sing"a note in a voice that resembles a sort of raspy whispered "rap", I can't help but compare the simple and true beauty, abiding faith, the class and enduring talent of Debbie Boone. The difference between the two is measured in light years.
Well said! Debbie is not only a class singer of her time, but has that natural beauty that melts your heart when you watch and listen this video! again good shout!
She didn't sing this song in the movie but sure did one hell of a job with it. The original singer thought she would cut the single but they wouldn't give it to her. Her statement read, Good luck Debby because you will never be able to top this performance and she was right.
This song for Debbie was a love song to her Lord.. that is what makes the difference between when she sings it and others do. When it came out in the secular music world I like most others just thought it an amazing love song.. \o/
this song, is the one i used to request when i am with SHIRLY OPIASA,the girl that came in my life so swiftly, and gone like a wind.Mhine, you knew that our love was true, but i am tied to someone else hands, that is why i dont have the right to hold you. I knew that you love me too, but its all in vain, nonetheless, please know, my love for you will still be as long as there is this song YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE.
John Records Landecker was wrong. This DIDN'T suck then, and, it DOESN'T suck now. Billboard's 475th #1 hit of the rock era. Gotta agree with ya, lyvost! I'm a Christian, too. Bless ya, my brother, or sister!
i love this song...she sings it the best...there is so much beautiful feeling flowing through her voice...so precise on each detail..emphasizing each word with such beautiful vibration...Thank You...
This song was, like, the only song playing on the radio when I was a little kid and it is engrained in my head. Still know every word and remember when they did it on the Oscars. The film, of course, was awful with poor Didi being dubbed by Debby. Her dad, Pat, if you ever see the 60's film version of "State Fair" was no Christian singing dove when he was schtopping Annn-Margret and is half nude, and looking good, too. Her talent comes from him. Shame he went on the religious kick and sunk.
My wife ( also a Debi ) sang this song to me during our wedding a little more than 25 years ago! I remember that to me at that moment she sounded just as good as Miss Boone. Both ladies are still at the top of all my lists. I'm 53 years young and my wife still sings to my heart every day. Thanks baby I'm a very lucky man!
@sc6chuck9 I love to hear things like that....what a beautiful memory that you still share....I hope for many many more years to come!! congratulations!!
Cheesy. This song makes me feel like I'm gagging on that goo they fill Twinkies with. Then the strings come in, and it just adds that extra impulse to hurl a stomach-load of Twinkie-goo all over my laptop.
@billthechief Get a grip. Debby's rendition of this song spent 10 weeks as #1 on the charts. That's because MILLIONS of people loved it. You've been overruled. Go back to bed and maybe your negative attitude will improve a little.
This song is as much of an inspiration as it was 30 plus years go. What a revelation indeed.

This song was, like, the only song playing on the radio when I was a little kid and it is engrained in my head. Still know every word and remember when they did it on the Oscars. The film, of course, was awful with poor Didi being dubbed by Debby. Her dad, Pat, if you ever see the 60's film version of "State Fair" was no Christian singing dove when he was schtopping Annn-Margret and is half nude, and looking good, too. Her talent comes from him. Shame he went on the religious kick and sunk.

Debbie still sings like an angel. I remember listening to her
during the conflict of Iran & Iraq in the 1980's. I'm an American with family
dated here since 1732. Whenever Debbie sang this song, I looked
at the American Flag tattoed on my arm..and loved it. I don't care who sings it,

One of the best songs ever written, but sang by an aweful singer, Debby Boone has no vocal. Kasey Cisyk sang it better!!!!

@leretour23 We all have favorite singers, but to insult another singer because he or she is not the favorite is nothing more than stupid bias.

My wife ( also a Debi ) sang this song to me during our wedding a little more than 25 years ago! I remember that to me at that moment she sounded just as good as Miss Boone. Both ladies are still at the top of all my lists. I'm 53 years young and my wife still sings to my heart every day. Thanks baby I'm a very lucky man!
Happy husband in Sugar Tit, South Carolina.

Everybody always doen't have the same taste, but if you ask me & you probably
won't, but to me this is a beautiful song & sung from the heart. JESUS is the light
of my life & as some of our mom's have tought us with manners. IF YOU CAN'T
SAY ANYTHING NICE DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!. Try listening to the words
with an open heart & mind. Perhaps you'll find light & love there. HIS name is
Jesus the Christ the son of God. Peace be with you. Thank you Debbie your
song lights up my life.

This stinks! If she could sing it in tune, it would be only barely acceptable, but SHE CAN'T!!

Let's hear YOU sing it in better tune. If you can do it, and post it to YouTube, I will subscribe to your channel. Your rendition, sweetie!

Cheesy. This song makes me feel like I'm gagging on that goo they fill Twinkies with. Then the strings come in, and it just adds that extra impulse to hurl a stomach-load of Twinkie-goo all over my laptop.

@billthechief Get a grip. Debby's rendition of this song spent 10 weeks as #1 on the charts. That's because MILLIONS of people loved it. You've been overruled. Go back to bed and maybe your negative attitude will improve a little.

Debby must be the best looking singer ever! She makes Olivia Newton John look like a skank in comparison.
