Lee Curreri is a phenomenal musician; this number is a perfect example of his 'Bruno bounce'!! He seems to live & feel every note he plays. Having seen him play live recently at the UK 40th anniversary reunion, he STILL does this.....though slightly gentler now 40 years on!! I watched him in awe of his musical skills! (Oh, and he is still gorgeous too!)!!
KatMusic, I was in love with him. Glad you saw him.
Nice guy, too. A fun musician.
Loved him in the movie and the tv show.
Not only is Lee very talented, he is an AWESOME man too!
I studied drama, did the Fame Stage Show and now I teach Music for a living. Thanks FAME!
Good for you 👍
My parents got married that year. As a 41 year old, tears start falling down every time I see this scene
One of the most powerful endings to a musical.
Absolutely!!!
You looked at this movie as a musical?
@@RalphDaVillain I guess I’m looking at it as a musical movie because during some of the critical parts of the movie, there was a song attached to the scene.
The ending hits hard, especially now in the wake of the fact that we have lost Irene Cara and Gene Anthony Ray, alongside a good chunk of the cast who played the staff.
It is really haunting to see their younger selves alongside a group of other young people singing about their hopes & dreams for the future, and now the young people featured here are now in their 50’s and 60’s, old enough to be parents & grandparents of high school age kids now, and many of them are now around the same age as much of the school’s staff.
It’s a reminder that time moves by quickly, and that we should make every minute of it count. Don’t weep and feel sad, be happy about your future.
It’s really impactful seeing it on RUclips; I cannot imagine the impact it must have on the people who saw this movie in theaters in 1980. I wish I could have seen the movie when it first came out, but alas, I was born in 1999.
I remember singing this song at a middle school choir concert (with just a piano accompaniment) when I was around I would say 11 or 12 years old, and I had NO idea it was from a movie up until a few years ago. This gives me nostalgia for my middle school years, and I wonder what my peers are up to now.
I thought it was a Walt Whitman Poem
Wow, anybody else remember the first time you saw Fame? And how you felt right after this song?
yeah i i loved it when i was kid and it came out on tv. well vh1 specifically (i recorde it) and just remembered after the end believing i could do anything my heart desired to go live out my dreams. I wanted to be leroy so bad and i had the biggest crush on coco lol
omg, I'm crying right now like a huge dorky, I was so in love with this and Out Here on My Own...uggghhh, so freaking amazing I love this show
Yes, I remember as it was yesterday ! November 1980, onboard a Korean Airlines flight from Paris to Seoul via Anchorage. That movie made that long flight shorter.
Fall 1980, Minneapolis. I had graduated HS in '76 as a theater person, and this made my heart swell so much. I hadn't seen the film again since, just pulled it up on Amazon and watched it again. Still good.
Nina Bernel felt like I could conquer anything!😂
Wow. After all this time it still makes my hair stand up.
Christopher Gilberthorpe absolutely ✨✨
Still the best musical finale to any movie, in my opinion.
I’m 55. I have Multiple Sclerosis. I was a singer/dancer in my youth & saw Fame numerous times as a teen. This song is beyond powerful & every time I share this incredible song, it affects someone in a positive way. It’s incredible and no matter where we are in life, WE ARE THE STARS!
Love for you, all Love.
So true. We may be old or creaky or sad but we still dance in our hearts 💕
Sorry to here that you have Ms. Have you checked out Terry walhls and Steve solves Ms?
Best wishes to you, Mary!
@LOGIC LEMONADE Sassy Bawstin Mothah I'm also 52.These were good times & good clean music.
Thanks for that great memory. We performed this at my high school graduation - the choir sounded SO GOOD that night. I'll never forget how proud and happy I felt being a part of that experience.
By far the best high school music and dance finality in film. IMO. Never gets old.
At 0:11 the French horn player that’s furthest away is my dad
That's a lie unless ur dad's a tranny cos that's a woman
I'm 53 years old and this will always be my favorite musical and soundtrack.
I miss the 80s so much.
This finale moves me to this day. In time we will all be stars. :)
Goosebumps...Chills...Burn bright 4ever Irene Cara!
I had the priviledge of meeting Dean Pitchford, the co-songwriter for this film. It was for my Hollywood Industry course last spring. He was college friends with my professor.
I will never forget how he explained how he wrote the finale song for Fame.
From what Dean shared to me and the class, he was having a lot of trouble figuring out what the finale song should be. But then, it suddenly hit him while he was walking. From that point, Dean was focusing so hard on the lyrics and was making sure he didn't forget them.
Dean apparently burst into his apartment. He told his roommate at the time to get him a pen and paper. Dean immediately walked into the bathroom and started writing the lyrics of the song on the toilet seat. It actually was quite inspiring and amusing hearing how this song was written.
I cannot think of this movie without tears, God bless Irene, RIP
This movie was based on my High School: the iconic Music and Art High School. Now, I'm in my mid-fifties and watching this brings back memories of being a teenager dancing and singing in the lunchroom. I remember the conductor, he was my actual music teacher, Mr. Jonathan Strasser is his name. He's gone from this earth now, but I so vividly remember sitting in his music class. I even remember the grade I got in his class (B). This song ALWAYS does three things to me: gives me goosebumps, brings back High School memories, and makes me cry.
I went to la guardia it was one of the best experiences of my life!!
Michelle Bryant, I graduated from PA , class of 1984. We were the last graduating class from the old building on 46th St between Broadway & 6th Ave. It was a magical experience. I have been looking through the comments for other graduates. You are the first. It is impossible to actually describe what really happened within those crumbling walls. Huge HUGS ❤️.
@@maryastark8075 I completely agree! It was a beautiful experience! ❤
@@michellebryant9731 Did you attend the school after they merged? There was also a Music and Art HS on 135th St in NYC. I am also in my mid-fifties, class of 1984. I know the two schools were connected, but PA didn't have art classes unfortunately.
Both campuses were amazingly progressive. I wonder what they are like now. So many once in a lifetime memories.
@@maryastark8075 I attended the original Music & Art on 135 Street, also affectionately known as "The Castle on The Hill." I was a junior when it merged with PA, in 1984. I graduated from the merged school in the new building known as Fiorello LaGuardia H.S. of Music and The Arts.
The new building was fancy-shmancy, with high-tech, state of the arts equipment in the music department.
But, I missed the old, crumbling, building on 135th Street. There was something special about it, which I did not feel in the new building.
Without fail, every time I see this movie I get super teary. It pushes my fame button!
Same here!
still so powerful all these years! i celebrate this movie and this song!
OMG! Love this song. Such an endless classic.
This scene (and film) had a huge impact on me. The future looks scary to a teenager, but this film instilled a certain confidence to misfits like me and my friends. Seeing all the different kinds of personalities and talent working together in one cohesive and powerful performance, meant that everyone has value. "And in time, and in time...."
Then it was filled of aspirations, hopes and dreams
Now, it’s all about looking good at selfies
i so agree i grew in the 80s wat a time!
Great movie. Great music. Great talent. Great times. Thank you so much for sharing and stirring great memories!
Watched it AGAIN. I cried.
das beste finale das ich in einem film je gesehen habe!
muss ich jedesmal wieder heulen.
I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!
Looking Back these folks were way ahead of there time!!! Just amazing... and Classic.
I was 29 when this film came out. later this summer i’ll be 70. Where did those years go? I lived them and that’s all we get to do. Just live and thank the lord every day you wake up.
Now THAT'S A FINALE!!!
WHOA. This just PLAYED - Sometimes, RUclips kinda reads my mind! This time, though, it didn't creep me out - just gave me a wonderful nostalgia trip back to discovering the thrill of the original "Fame" movie!!! 😁😁😁
I knew I was born to dance but was not allowed to because my parents thought it was a waist of time and culturally frowned upon. FAME Just made the itch even more worse. When I finally took the leap forward and broke tradition, I felt like I was born again. I love the movie, the series and now I can say I Lived my Dream. No regrets. and the memories are oh so sweet......Happy Face.
good for you...!!
Haha way to follow your passion
I am so glad you did that. Such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!
Clearly not a major in English, but well done.
Danny Techaira what culture are you from, curious.. or religion... I love it... now you are free.
RIP Irene Cara, what an amazing talent she had and the joy she brought so many people. She'll be truly missed.
I loved this movie then and still love it now🥰🥰😷🇨🇦
I was born in 1973 & clearly remember sitting in the movie theater with my sister, sobbing at the powerful ending. The graduation scene still makes me cry. Great fucking movie.
I was on my way to college to study acting the year this movie came out. I had already seen Fame three times by the time college started. But a bunch of of the kids from the School of Fine Arts went together that first weekend after school started - and EVERY SATURDAY afterward, until it left the theater sometime in November. I loved it every time, and I still do
I have the E.R. box set. It's so weird to see Dr. Romano like this.
I love it!
Hermoso! me encanta desde mi adolescencia lejana. Lo escucho desde Argentina octubre de 2020
Romano!! what a movie!
Um dos melhores filmes que já vi! Tudo é maravilhoso!
My connection to Fame is really something. I played an abridged version of it in an amateur production at summer camp then i was ten. I first saw the live production then i was fourteen prefomed merveilleusemely by the Gothenburg Opera. And then I was sixteen the movie was shown on the late timeslot on TV and I was pinnes in front of it.
After all this time, this scene still packs a powerful, emotional punch.
JOYFUL!!😊😊
That is how you fucking end a movie!!! 😁
Doesn't that look like John Cusack playing the violin at 4:38?
Yes!
And in time, And in time
We will ALL be ONE
For we learned how to kneel
We learned to Soar
#BelieveItWithMe
#BurnWithTheFire
#CelebrateTheWEYetToCome
Grammys brought me here.
This is my Amazing Grace
It's too bad the way that Gene Ray died.
"Gene Anthony Ray, an actor and dancer best known for his roles in the 1980 film Fame and its spin-off television series, has died. He was 41. Thu, 20 Nov, 2003"
And now Irene Cara has passed - 26 Nov 22.
Gives me goosebumps every damned time!
How are you doing?
My school choir sang this song when we all graduated in 1986. My sister's graduation in 1987 featured a three-piece doing "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night" by KISS. Pretty sure that's when anti-woke was born.
Great Movie
LOVE THIS. When you thought you could be a star and stay fully dressed...but still had to be s k i n n y.
0:51 - 1:04 the best part
I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet come
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun
And I'll look back on Venus
I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire
Of ten million stars
And in time and in time
We will all be stars
I sing the body electric
I glory in the glow of rebirth
Creating my own tomorrow
When I shall embody the Earth
And I'll serenade Venus
I'll serenade Mars
And I'll burn with the fire
Of ten million stars
And in time and in time
We will all be stars
Yeah (ooh)
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
We are the emperors now
And we are Czars
And in time and in time
We will all be stars
I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet come
I toast to my own reunion
(My own reunion)
When I become one with the sun
And I'll look back on Venus (back on Venus)
I'll look back on Mars (back on Mars)
And I'll burn with the fire (burn with the fire)
Of ten million stars
And in time and in time (and in time)
And in time and in time (and in time)
And in time and in time (and in time)
We will all be stars
Oh my goodness, you actually had to have TALENT and work back in those days! Someone please tell the KarTRASHians this, please!
I will never, NEVER, forget the audience reaction the first I saw this movie, when the screen went black. A thunderous nearly five minute standing ovation. That movie inspired a generation.
i agree!
Thanks for sharing that 😀 😊
I love that you shared this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree....what an exciting, video and spiritual ascension song...I use it as an inspirational song. I love the feel of it. I played it for my late brother, Ralph who played at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. He loved it, too.
But HOW DID THAT ALL TURN OUT FOR THEM?
Telling them that
THEYLL ALL BE STARS...
Face reality.....
THEYRE NOT ALL STARS TODAY
AND WHILE INSPIRING KIDS IS A GOOD THING
THEY ALSO MUST KNOW THAT THEY WILL STUMBLE THROUGH LIFE
WE ALL DO.....
I always cry because I know that the movie is is over. I was 14 taking dance lessons next door to a movie theater. The theater owner let all us dancers in free if we would dance in the isles and in front of the screen during the dance numbers. I saw FAME a over a hundred times. I became a professional dancer. Now I'm a dance instructor. We can ALL be STARS!!!!!
✨💕💞BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES 🌅😍✨
Thank you for sharing that. I can't stop crying reading it. How amazing for someone to allow such freedom and movement and joy and creativity in a world where often things like that are suppressed and suffocated. You are definitely a STAR!
Happy tears for that story.
Amazing story💛
I read this five times already, envisioning dancers in the aisles and I’m grinning from ear to ear!! And you make it as a dancer!! Love love love that you shared this.
Irene Cara passed today and I was reminded of her beautiful performance in this movie. Watching her solo in this number made me tear up. RIP Irene 🙏🏻
Wow....I didn't know. May she rest in peace
Thank you didn't know ☹️, loved as a teenager ❤️🤣
Oh I didn't know that. That's sad 😔 😟 🙁 😥
She was also great on 1971 The Electric Company singing for the teen group,
first lineup, The Short Circus.
Only found out last week may she rest in peace
I attended a school of performing arts because of this movie. I moved to NYC because of this movie. I had an 18 year career as a professional dancer because of this movie. Thank you Sir Alan Parker for creating a film that inspired an entire generation to "celebrate the me yet to come". We are the Fame Generation!
Wow, same here, art school bc of that movie. No collective actions in the visual arts, though, which disappointed be. Expected all my life be like in Fame from then on and was disappointed (successful, yes, yet disappointed about all the narcissism and lack of solidarity and collective fun)
"Fame Generation" - absolutely true. Highly critisized later in "Fight Club" 😉
You were brave...I had the same dream but too afraid to try.
@@jadedmass Mook
What an amazing performance. Thank you for this . #ahhs
"And I'll look back on Venus
I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire
Of ten million stars
And in time and in time
We will all be stars" 🌌
#RIPIreneCara 🕯
I worked in a building right across the street from the HS for the Performing Arts. When these kids hit the street to sing and dance, the sidewalks were crammed with onlookers. I will never forget this time in my life.
You were lucky to have a direct front row seat for it.
❤
What a great memory for you! I was (a little) obsessed with Fame as a young girl when this great movie was released.😊
Don't care how many remakes you come out with Hollywood....nothing will ever top this!!!
The remake was one of the worst movies ever made
Nothing!!
Nothing!!!!!
so right
I can sing this whole song my way 😊😋 I can top this
Irene Cara. My god. What a voice. What a beauty.
ONE OF THEY BEST FEMALE VOICES THATS EVER BEEN
Such an amazing voice; and so underrated.
#God #capitalG
She's S
She's one of the reasons that I continue to return to this movie, over and over again.
How quickly has 40 years passed? It seems to have only been yesterday when I saw this really moving finale for the first time, which still gives me goose bumps and today brings tears to my eyes, partly out of nostalgia, partly out of unfulfilled dreams....
Remembering Irene Cara (and so many others from this film) who should be remembered more often. They did burn like stars.
Godspeed Irene Cara! Thanks for the music and your gift that you shared with all of us! 💝
This is one of the songs of my youth. It always brought a tear to my eye reminding me of my dance family but especially after hearing the news today. RIP Miss Irene. You were extraordinary!!!
I will NEVER understand why THIS SONG did not become WILDLY POPULAR - the melodies are so beautiful ♥♥♥♥
BECAUSE WE HAVE SATANIST RUNNING U.S. ENTERTAINMENT😈 THESE SATANIST GOAL IS TO PUSH FLITH ON OUR CHILDREN🙆♀️
I agree with you
@@eweiner14 ♥♥♥♥
This is my favourite song in the film

Anyone else here to remember Irene Cara? May she RIP.
I came here, 'cause I love watching Paul McCrane on ER.
💚
I came here because I thought it was my favorite episode of Twilight Zone
She wasn't. SHE IS!
@@dannythomas417he was awesome as Romano!
God bless every artist that helped to make that scene. After all these years It still gives me goosebumps!
I’m the same I’m 37 and I watched it on repeat as a child , I wish my children could experience what I did from all these 80/90s movies but they aren’t interested in even watching them, these films moulded me to a point
Me to😮
The joy of music is contagious. This is such a celebration of the human spirit. People raising their voices in song lifts up the soul and makes you want to fly. This is amazing.
One of the most underrated songs, from an underrated movie. Love this so much.
Ray Stone Absolutely true. This movie never got the credit it deserves.
I'd say under appreciated. It got excellent reviews.
BIG-TIME underrated song
Never under rated... just undersung...
Well said!! So true.
OMG, that is my favorite part, when the drummer smiles and nods at Mr. Shorofsky!!
This song ...
ESPECIALLY the ENDING,
gives me goosebumps!!!!!!! ❤️
Greatest ending to a movie ever

Back when you needed talent to be a star! Brings back really good memories!
DenaL112 Lots of stars these days have talent. Have you seen lana del reys version of the song.
I definitely agree
+DenaL112 I I agree. Back when you needed talent...
Today they use overdubbing to fix lackluster vocals and computers to fix horrible instruments. Oh, to have more talented artists than not again!
DenaL112 é tu
“ I glory in the glow of rebirth “, that line alone is amazing 🥲!!!!
IRENE CARA PASSED AT THE AGE OF 63 THIS THANKSGIVING WEEKEND 2022. I had to come here.
The 80's just rocked and ruled!....No other generation since has produced movies that really touched your soul
with all the arts like this.....None!
I agree 100% C W fantastic post cheers from 77024
AMEN!!!
Before there was Glee, there was Fame. And it was good. It was really good. The characters were likable, every story had a great lesson, the kids were actually really talented, the teachers were cool. And then there was the pure, raw, magical, shining, incredible talent of Gene Anthony Ray.
RIP, Gene. Your star still shines brightly in another dimension. We miss you on this one a lot.
Lori H perfectly put ✨🌹✨
and diverse
& now RIP Irene ;(
Glee could NEVER touch FAME.....not even close!
A cast that actually looked relatable, not Hollywood fakes. What a concept!
Spot on. Have u noticed how Alan Parker made sure all the kids were given good and equal screen time.
When movies really were movies and entertainment was thus. No reality nonsense, just joy, good script writing and pure unadulterated acting. What a pity all that is lost now. Classics never die though and so we can return to this whenever we want.
@@apfelprincess45 I'm sad that I was never able to relay to the director how much this movie meant to me. He made another great movie in Come See The Paradise. I highly recommend it.
Yes everyone looked like average kids, not super polished and glamorous
That's how I see it, too, but my friends who were at Art Schools at that time perceived that differently btw. They say they were thinking "what is Irene Cara doing in a Hollywood Movie?"
Most underrated movie and score.

I totally agree with you. We just need our body to dance and to play instruments and our voice to sing... And,last,but not the least, our soul to make it deep, powerful and amazing.
Well said. What the cinema needs more these days, less tech, more talent.
What I like about this clip is it seems everyone is represented... almost all races, men, woman, gay, straight, heavy, thin... EVERYONE... it is how a school should look... Talent comes in all colors and types.
And yet it was all done without the government telling us how to do it and counting everyone’s head and making sure that everyone was represented. They took an honest picture of a performing arts school and presented much of the realities of them and the dreams and hopes
I agree! And all disciplines in the "arts" were represented too!- Singers, dancers, musicians
It was a time where people DID live and work together without all this woke shit
@@sysuiu4533 As a 1984 graduate from PA, I can definitely say that it was an extremely progressive school. Judgement was purely on performance and academic grades. Quite an experience!!!!!
@@sysuiu4533 You must be forgetting all of the terrible things that happened back then, whether or not we were using the word “woke.”
Fame remains one of my favorite films and the closing scenes are still wildly entertaining and fun. RIP Gene Anthony Ray.
This one was spectacular!!
Brings chills

It is! This movie came out when I was 9
@@Pamemastiff111 Pamela what IS THIS ALL ABOUT ? Your writings here. So curious
Is anyone else watching this tonight and missing Irene Cara?
38 years ago I sat in a cinema and watched "Fame" and you know what? I've rarely seen a movie since that was as uplifting and meaningful and what's more, I never forgot this particular track. Still sends shivers down my spine. Fabulous!
I had just turned 18, and had just graduated high school when this movie came out. Those lyrics had a PROFOUND impact on my life and how I saw my place in it. I was a theatre kid then, I’m a theatre kid now and forever-I play this whole soundtrack on every opening night of any show I’m working on, and this song, 42 years later, is just as thrilling, just as inspiring.
I'm hanging on to this song for my big move to another country in 5 weeks, to start a new life. Irene Cara, you have inspired me since I was 13. I am 51 now. Thank you!
Just like me Vanessa, a new life ! Cheers !
Hello Vanessa
Well, how was the big move?!
@@vanessastoffer1874 It was all good and hope you are doing well
Why isn’t this movie given more respect? It’s filled with talented folks & has great music & acting! Fame, the original movie deserves more attention! It’s much better than many of the musicals today!!!
I think it's because the TV series was much better - more in depth.
My Mum loved the TV show, but she finds the film a bit too mean and seedy and that some of the relationships don't really ring true in the film.
That's just her take - I haven't seen the TV show, so I can't speak for myself.😅
@@bethmccrossan6385 The movie was more "real" while the TV show was more formulaic in my opinion. The movie far superior.
I agree
That harmony at 1:48 has been stuck in my head for 40 years. And when that choir stands up, dammmmm . . . . . I still get chills. All of it is just sensational.
Amazing
You and me both! I am a choruster
Same here - the choral entrance is amazing. The song and the dance build to a crescendo at "We are the Emperors now" - such a great moment.
i love when they stand up, u never expect it!
I feel the same way.
As a film critic, I was privileged to interview the young leads and director Alan Parker. Yes, watching this film after so many years since its debut gives me goosebumps. I love this film.
I want this song played at my funeral.
I literally grew up listening to this song. I attended Juilliard School of Music in 1984, just after this movie (and subsequent show) came out. And it has shaped me forever.. RIP Irene Cara… 💔😔❤️❤️❤️
This song is the anthem to living in the present and celebrating every moment of life!
Fame is not just a movie. It is a historic landmark and will forever be associated with American history of the 70's. Unlike modern movies which are about silly special effects and shallow and superficial plots... Fame is about talent, drama, youth and humanity. It has not aged a bit and some of the directors and producers who make movies nowadays should be obliged to watch Fame in shame.
Um Fame came out in 1980…
@@flannerymonaghan-morris4825 1979
@@flannerymonaghan-morris4825 do you not know 1980 is basically 70s. WHY did you feel the need to comment that?
Would've been fine if you said it was released in 1980 fyi, and you could've added some other contributing comment or nice detail.
But noooooo.
Check yourself. You could have said NOTHING, made NO comment. Instead you just "showed your ass," dumbass. 😂
please LEARN from this.
