I'm going through my music videotapes from the 1980s and posting things that I don't find here currently. Maybe only one or two people might be looking for some of these, but those people should be very happy.
The American Broadcasting Company used to have a show back in the 80s called "Kids Are People Too" that had some surprising guests. Patti appeared on it with Joe Brooks and sang his song "You Light Up My Life".

  • I am reading a book called Easter Rising, which is an autobiography of an Irish Southie family and as the author talks about his introduction to the punk scene of the 70's, he mentioned seeing Patti singing You Light Up My Life on a children's show. That was just too surreal of an idea just to make up, so I had to search it out and sure enough, thanks to YouTube and Postingoldtapes, here it was for me to see. Amazing!

  • @naugyca I was contacted by a director who really wanted to use this in a movie, but was never able to get the rights.

  • Youtube is just an incredible place - Thank you for posting these wonderful things. Indeed I'm very happy now!

    Do you happen to have a clip of Roger Hodgson on this show?

  • @comfrey11 Sorry, this was the only bit I recorded.

  • love her-then-now-love her-always makes me FEEL

  • @30Tmaria Her book "Just Kids" won the National Book Award.

  • Joe Brooks, wow that's the guy that killed himself rather than go to trial for raping a bunch of women.
