- 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.

The '70s......what a time to be alive , and be part of.........GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!
Love and miss you Kasey. Your vocal for You Light Up My Life were absolutely amazing
Debby & Kasey both gave great peeformances of " You Light Up My Life. "
I remember as a kid watching the movie. Loved the song ever since. Though i was a kid in the 70s I remember good things about it
I'm so glad I found it. The very first time I heard this song I was close to 10 yrs old. From that first time I heard it in the movie. It was tattoo in my heart. Since then I am still waiting for that special someone who will sing his song to me... I'm still waiting & hopping for us to find each other ♥️
Hopping only 1 (one) P
During the summers of 1985-87, I performed the song, a capella, during Talent Night at the German Summer School at Taos Ski Valley, NM. I serenaded a lady during the song and the entire audience of 150 sang along with me and enjoyed the show. You Light Up My Life has become my love anthem and I hope to serenade my future wife with that song. Brings me to tears whenever I hear the song.😢
I've just found out she's the orriginal and best singer of this song after 40+ years.
this song was written for Kacey Cisyk. and here copied by debbie boone in style and form, voices almost identical..i believe it went to court
This is more emotional, but, never soggy, yet warmer, stronger and more intimately appealing to my soul than any other “commercially successful” versions, though they all did what they could do best at the time.
To me, this is the true and only original. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard her voice in the movie. Thanks for lighting up my mind!
Man, seeing all the little 70s things sure takes me back-vests and overalls, wide collars & flared pants, hats and tweed jackets, macrame plant hangers, soda from a tall bottle, wide flat cars (except for her old convertible of course), mop tops on the guys and bangs on the gals, thin eyebrows and blue eye shadow, tinted glasses and mustaches… Ah yes, now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get my fondue set washed and put away since we’re watching Eight is Enough, Charlie’s Angels, and Starsky & Hutch tonight!!
This is the best version by far of this song. Didi Conn did any amazing song.
So many nights,
I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone
To sing me his song
So many dreams
I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark
But now you've come along
And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea
Adrift on the waters
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home
Finally a chance
To say: "Hey, I love you"
Never again to be all alone
And you light up my life
You give me hope, to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
You,
You light up my life
You give me hope, to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause you, you light up my... life
I've always heard it by Debby Boone, since one day in 1977. Never by her, as she was the one who originally recorded it. The interpretation that she does in this song leaves me speechless. I never thought I could see someone sing it better than Debby Boone. I don't want to take a single carat from Debby, but from now on (May 14, 2023) I will keep her in mind... to see in her the best way to give my soul and even my life.

４４年前の高校１年生の時に見た映画です。今、聴いても素敵で元気と希望が持てます。ありがとうございます。
L O V E L O V E L O V E This ! I barely remember this ..... But thanks for bringing this YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE back to ME ❤❤
Thank you for putting on TH-cam I have been searching around for quite some time, and this is the version that I am keen on listening, Because she was the only one that could sing this song perfectly.!!
Kasey Cisik: you cannot find this version in Amazon music or elsewhere. Such a warm powerful performance of the song. ❤
Kacey has a very beautiful voice.I like Didi alot too.Fantastic movie.Kacey will forever be one of my special singers.
This is one of my my favourite songs
For a minute, I thought it was Didi Conn (Frenchy) actually singing.
Almost blew my mind.
But actually Kvitka Cisyk.
Incredible voice.
Just saw the movie on Tubi I grew up in the 70s and never saw this movie I love the song abd the movie was great love it
Oh...me too.
Haven´t see the movie for a long time --so far I remember --always when the german TV send / broadcast it --it was in the charts--thx rollf
Lindíssima interpretação , maravilhosa , parabéns Kasey .
Sie hat diesen Film unvergesslich gemacht. Obwohl ich noch nicht so alt bin, habe ich dieses Lied eingetragen, dass es gespielt werden soll, wenn ich beerdigt werde. ❤
Thanks for this video.
I like this version 100× better than Debbie Boone's. RIP Kasey.
I agree.
Breast cancer, age 45, leaving husband and son.
Her voice is stronger and full. No strain hitting the high notes. Debbie Boone was just weak all over.
Is She passed?
@@bubbajephthat’s crazy talk right there. Debbie sang it better.
Que bello recordar a esta actriz.
Como ha pasado el tiempo.
Una época maravillosa.
aw man! what a MAAAAASSIVE crush i had on didi conn because of this movie. i was 9 years old but oh my lord she just melted me. damn.
best version ever!!!
Наша Квіточка😢
Beautiful
This song is so pretty. It is a Torch Song. That same year of release, Candle On The Water, was nominated for Best Original Song. Lost to this well-deserved winner. But I really Really REALLY love COTW. I still get teary eyed listening to Helen Reddy sing her heart out to her Lost Love.
I was 9 years old when this movie came out and everyone knew that Debbie Boone was selected to record it for mainstream because of something with Kasey Cisyk wouldn't sign a recording contract (I may be wrong. But that's how I remember it) so they used her version and released it as a single 46 rpm and didn't give Kasey credit instead they put Original Cast on the single. We all know that Kasey's was the original recording and was used in the movie and its soundtrack. I remember they had a contest to find a new singer for the song and Debbie Boone won. It was released and spent 10 weeks at #1 and was played on the radio nation wide every hour every day for weeks. It began to drive people crazy because they constantly played it. Debbie's version was not released to be a gospel song it just became that way from Church goers. A song, any song can mean many things to many different people.
Didi was very cute. My first GF looked very much like Didi, in fact I called her Didi as a pet name. Never really got over her.
Sublime , hermoso te transporta.
❤ linda versão ❤
Love her voice
Very nice song/soundtrack 😍❤
Well Done!! Loved this.
Loved her performance so much
I thought Didi Conn was the cutest thing back in the day.
Me too! I was around 13 when this came out.......huge crush on Didi!
Loved Kasey ❤️🙏
But the song is unforgetable. And now I have my husband to whom I can sing it.
I had a big crush on Didi growing up. RIP Kasey ❤
Me too🙂
The only version that I like.
It's lacking
Regardless, it inspires me!
❤️❤️❤️
Didi Conn and Michael Zaslow. ❤❤
Квітка Цісик - найкраща
I'd like to know how 'Roger Thorpe' aka Michael Zaslow had the time to make this film while he was the villan we'd love to hate on Guding Light ( both so deeply missed).
The original song is always the best
I MISS YOU
Magnifique
1:10 trying to figure out who the red head is. First i was thinking Annie Potts, then I was thinking Nell Campbell (RHPS), then I finally recognize her as Melanie Mayron who played Marsh in the movie Car Wash . Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
I'm glad Debby Boone remade this.
Kudos to Didi Conn (Frenchy from Grease) for playing this iconic character!
I thought I recognized this face..... Thank You ! 😘😘
Does somebody know, where the film could be seen. At realy want to see it again.
I like both equally.
Her voice is pretty.
Квіточка Цісик! Царства Небесного! Перлинка України, ми тебе пам'ятаємо !🙏🇺🇦♥️ Чудовий голос, чудова людина! Шкода не довгий вік!(((
Kvitka "Kacey" Cisyk (Ukrainian: Квітка Цісик; Квітослава-Орися Цісик, Kvitka Tsisyk... 4 April 1953 - 29 March 1999.. breast cancer...
DEBBY BOONE STOLE THIS!!!!
this song was written for Kacey Cisyk. and here copied in style and form, voices almost identical
When I saw this movie at the cinema the only thing that jumped out was the main song by Cisyk. Later I heard it by Debbi Boone but for some reason I could hear the difference it never occurred two different singers were involved since the film didn't list Cisyk. Cisyk is by far the best version. Debbi Boone did not want to copy Cisky but she was under contract and they would stop her when she tried to sing it different. No one should blame her. Brooks was the real criminal in cheating Cisyk. He committed suicide after being charged with sexual crimes.
Comment s'appelle ce film svp ? Merci 🙏🙂
Timeless) music
Una joya
❤️
I am 14 when I hear this song I never vorget this song in my live I will find this love. I not found in my live. I 4 married but I not found love in my life.
I think I prefer this version to the Debbie Boone version.
this song was written for Kacey Cisyk. and here copied by debbie boone in style and form, voices almost identical..i believe it went to court
Kasey recorded the song as a demo n it was already that good...
Nobody gives Kasey her due credit for her great vocals on this song, as well as the others in this movie. After all, it was her vocals - and Didi Conn's acting - that made people want to hear this song on the radio, not Debbie Boone. Kasey's version was a 1000 times better than Debbie's or anyone else's who tried to ride on Kasey's coattails.
I was teenager that time. NoevI can sing this pretty song to my husband.
Michael Zaslow...❤
I'm always surprised that so many great songs come from meh movies.
😇💝😇
The actress reminds a little of Joyce Dewitt
Frenchy from Grease!
LUZ DA MINHA VIDA é sem dúvida um filme atualíssimo, que mostra o sentimento de um homem e o de uma mulher.
O homem, enquanto busca através da sua sedução, a caça.
A mulher tem um coração...😢
Pensei que fosse o filme fama 😳 sabe aonde tem pra assistir???
I watched the movie. It was too sad.
Como é o nome desse filme gostaria de assistir
It was written for the movie, but Boone always saw the song as a religious song about God rather than a love song.
Most songs can have different interpretations by different artists, and that was hers.
Debbie Boone did a nice job. But the voice over for Didi Cohn by K .C. Cysyk is better. May K.C. RIP.
Patty Smith version?
millenials be like "isn't this from the Simpson's " ?
Didi Conn actually lip synced the song.
Yes. However I feel she did a convincing enough job to make appearances of singing this song and the fantastic lyrics. Another great song from the same year is, Candle On The Water, sung by Helen Reddy.
So basically he was paying her light bill??
He was terrible. Dating with her and going out with another.
Just like American women are today, thanks to easy access to social media.

Why doesn’t the male lead have a beard?! This was the 70’s!! ALL male leads had either a beard or a mustache!!
'cause at the end it's kind of a villain, I think haha
Boone mimicked It can't hear much difference, music and all
