You Light Up My Life • Kasey Cisyk

You Light Up My Life • Theme Song • Kasey Cisyk
Contrary to popular belief, Debby Boone was not the original singer of "You Light Up My Life," nor was the song ever meant to be about 'God.' It was in fact written exclusively for the 1977 movie of the same name. It was originally performed by vocalist Kvitka "Kasey" Cisyk, and lip-synched by actress Didi Conn who was the star of the film. Ironically, despite its comforting melody, the real life story of the man who wrote the music (songwriter Joseph Brooks) is very disturbing.

Soundtrack from the 1977 Joseph Brooks film, "You Light Up My Life," with Didi Conn, Joe Silver, Michael Zaslow, Stephen Nathan, Lisa Reeves, Simmy Bow, Jerry Keller & Melanie Mayron. --- HD Film Tributes is a channel with over three hundred movie homages currently posted.
