| What can I say? It's the original soundtrack to the hit TV series of my youth and today's new and updated screen version. Still great tunes. |

 Love the Songs and the Movie
Submitted on: 2009-05-13 |

I've grown increasingly fond of the movie Fame over the years, appreciating more and more what an electrifying and entertaining picture it is. It was filled with great songs, both upbeat and slower, that I feel have held up very well. Irene Cara has an amazing voice.
What I would like to focus on in this review is the recording quality of the remastered CD. It is miles above the original release. If you have the original CD of Fame, cut it into little pieces and get this one. The original sounded so dull and lifeless I wondered who did the recording - it sounded like everything had a blanket over it. That was a huge insult to the movie. The remastered CD cures this - the sizzle is back. The voices and instruments are alive, not under a pillow.
Adding the bonus tracks is okay - I guess you can use the two instrumental ones for karaoke and pretend you are Irene Cara. I am so glad someone made the decision to remaster this CD because the first recording was a total ruin. |

A genuine RSO classic!

| Here is an expanded version of the original 1980 RSO(Robert Stigwood Organization) release featuring the original 9-track line-up with instrumental versions of the title track and OUT HERE ON MY OWN. The vocal versions are performed by the film's star Irene Cara(both on hit parade in '80). There's also another previously unreleased track. DOGS IN THE YARD and IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU MINE? are performed by Paul McCrane who also appeared in the film. Another hit from this album is RED LIGHT,performed by Linda Clifford. Many of these songs were written by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore(brother of Lesley). I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC is performed by the film's cast(Cara,Lee Curreri,McCrane and the late Gene Anthony Ray to name a few). This album was subsequently re-released around 1984 when RSO was bought out by its sister label Polydor,both subsidiaries of PolyGram. |

Review of "FAME" soundtrack
Submitted on: 2006-07-31 |

| I used this soundtrack--in LP form--many years ago when I first started teaching dance. This summer I used it as part of a dance history class. I used this music for the American Jazz Dance/Broadway Style section of the class, and my elementary age students had to create original choreography to the theme song--in the style of Bob Fosse. The music was appropriate for my theme and the age level of the students. After all these years, it's still catchy. |
