i can't count the times my 8 year old queer self stood in front of the full length mirror in my Mom's master bathroom singing this song into a hair brush, and working myself into such a frenzy that i could actually shed tears during the emotional second verse......**sigh**......memories

Didn't she burst in on Rock Hudson when he was dying trying to get him to repent? Ah, what a honey.

I never heard that...

You know... usually I remember a song being far slower than it really was. In this case, however, the actual song is far slower than I would have ever thought possible for commercial music or even tasteful for the 70's! ;)

Can't recall where I read it, years ago, a bio of Hudson I guess. She and a group of fellow Hollywood born-agains I think.

How's your Ma doing?

I love her space princess gown and the star field backdrop. Is that John Denver?

Where's Didi Conn when you really need her?

My sister, Mrs Hirsch, in an odd juxtaposition of Irish and newly acquired Jewish guilt, always bought my mother tickets to hear Debbie and her mother-in-law Rosemary Clooney perform their Christmas Concert at the Westbury Music Fair.

Good times.

OMG didja see her performance at the Oscars? With all the deaf kids ASL-ing around her?

You mean a "IT! CAAAAAAN'T! BEEEEE! WROOOONG!" frenzy? Yeah me too!

Googled it, apparently it was her Dad Pat and his wife who tried to have RockSucksCock repent on his deathbed.

Same...some improvements, some setbacks. Still not sure where things are going.

That be him, ole Henry John Duschendorf!

[jawnbc]

That would've been awesome.

Didi Conn lipsynched Kasey Cisyk. I prefer Deb's version.

Hard to believe "You light up my life" tied "Evergreen" for the best Song Oscar. Babs and her Oscar ties, oy gevalt!

Oh lordie--
Song of the Year, too.

I was actually planning to lip sync this in the 5th grade talent show. I never thought better of the idea actually, but I was asked to M.C. so I couldn't do a talent too (those were the rules). It was always luck rather than savvy that saved me from playground beatings.

What do you expect from someone who had to lick her daddy's white shoes so often??????

[deafdyke.livejournal.com]

I totally wanted to do her.

Dig the blue confirmation gown!

Is Kasey Cisyk related to Kasey Kasem?

[bookbear.livejournal.com]

Yep, John. Bfore he went and, you know, lost his head. Over Debbie Boone.
