You have NO IDEA what it was like to listen to the radio back in late 1977. I swear this song played every half hour of every day for months! It was the only song to spend double digits at #1 in the 70's, and was the UNDISPUTED #1 song of the entire 70's decade. So many people hate it, but there are a bunch of us who still listen to this proudly with our windows wide open. 😎

I won't lie, the song is pretty syrupy. I think most people who don't like the song do so because it just got overplayed. Which is a fair point. Hearing now, decades after the last time I heard it, I can say that I'm no longer part of the DBoone's hater's club. :)

In the late 70s, you could not get away from this song. It played EVERYWHERE. It spent a whopping TEN weeks at #1 in the heart of the disco era. Imagine doing that with your VERY FIRST SINGLE. Though Debby had several other country hits, she never came close to having another song with as much crossover appeal as this one. If you want to explore her more country side, try "My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own" or "Breakin' In a Brand New Broken Heart" or "Are you On the Road to Lovin' Me Again". Her father, Pat Boone had a TON of hits in the 50s and 60s (though most of the biggest were covers).

Debby might have been a one hit wonder in the pop realm but she had a short but very successful career in contemporary Christian music. Her debut Christian album, With My Song won a Grammy, the duet with Phil Driscoll ( from her second album) “Keep the Flame Burning” also won a Grammy. She then turned out a vibrant Christian dance album “Choose Life” with producer Michael Omartian which I believe was nominated for a Grammy. She came out with a couple more Christian albums, a lovely Christmas album, a tribute album to Rosemary Clooney (her mom in law) and most recently, a jazz album (Swing This). I love her voice and feel she’s an awesome underrated artist.

I've always, always thought of this as a religious song. Debby's dad, Pat Boone, was a teen idol in the late 50s/early 60s and was always very forthcoming about his religious convictions. Daughter Debby went so far as to admit she interpreted this song to be about God, even though the songwriter (Joe Brooks) meant the lyrics in a secular way. The song was turned into a movie; not sure which came first. It's hard to explain just how big a hit this song was back in 1977, a year of disco and Saturday Night Fever. Beyond the world of music, Star Wars was everywhere. Then this little unassuming song came in and just took over every thing.

The song and movie were done together. I've put more detail in a post above, but the reason the songwriter brought Debby Boone in is that he didn't want to pay or credit the singer who did the soundtrack for the film. Debby was forced by him, however, to mimic the film's singer, Kasey Cisyk's every vocal inflection. She had no freedom. Thus, it was genuinely her vision of the song as inspirational rather than romantic that gave her performance such beauty and power. There is no question in my mind that she was very genuine in making that statement. She definitely poured her whole soul into it whereas she had no control over the style.

Probably haven’t heard this in over 40 years, but can still sing along with it. They played this so much when it came out.

Leann Rimes did an awesome cover of the song in 1997, that was largely ignored by radio. It was the 7th most popular song of the year 1977 worldwide, and was the theme song for the Movie of the same name starring Didi Conn.

It played so many times on the radio, you knew the words wether you wanted to or not. So many years later I still know many of the words.

This song was huge, definitely one of the biggest songs at the time. It was on every radio station around the clock it seemed, and everybody wanted Debbie Boone to appear on their TV show, which she often did. Beautiful song, beautifully sung, beautiful lady, it couldn't fail!

Gawd this song was EVERYTHING back in the day. They even taught it to us in sign language. Lol.

This was a #1 song for weeks in & she won a grammy as well. Debbie Boone has said her interpretation of this song was inspired by God. That God lit up her life.

I was 9 in 1977, and every girl I knew from 9 to 19 was running around singing this song aloud when it was not being played on the radio, which was almost every half-hour. Debbie Boone and Barry Manilow brought soft FM radio to the masses on the top 40 back then. Wonderful memories.

I'm with others, it was INESCAPABLE. You couldn't hide from this song in '77/'78. I can't believe I just voluntarily listened to it again but that's how much I love ya'll haha I know errrrrrything note of this song. Any one of us here can probably sing it (dramatically!), even after 40+ years. In fairness to Ms. Boone, it wasn't her fault it caught on so much. 🙂

I was in elementary school when this song came out, and my hearing impaired sister learned to do this with sign language in her class for the deaf. She spent weeks teaching me and our middle sister how to sign it ..... I wish I could say I still know how to do that.

That's not what the song is about but it is her interpretation of it. It was originally written simply as a love song

Number #1 song for 10 weeks in 1977. This song was on every radio station day and night in the late 70's. Originally written as a love song, Debbie adapted it to become religious and inspirational. Daughter of Pat Boone she has a wholesome beautiful voice. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

This is such a beautiful song and voice her father also sang

Back in its day, "You Light Up My Life" spent 10 solid weeks at the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A timeless treasure that lives on. A few years ago, Debbie Boone came to perform at the community college auditorium here in my hometown of Rockingham, North Carolina. Part of the Community Concert Series, Ms. Boone's voice was just as powerful as it was back in 1977 with this track. After the concert, she was accessible to meet and talk with. Down to earth, yet still very beautiful she was that day. Nice reaction folks, enjoy your reactions often, I do. Peace.

Was a favorite for weddings when this was popular. You guys are great for expanding all of us with music.

No matter what you think of this song,this is a masterpiece

Great genes on display here. Debby's dad Pat Boone was a huge star. He had (I think) 38 top 40 hits. Sold millions of records, and starred in several movies. Debby was popular in the 70s. Her dad was huge in the 50s and 60s. He is 88 years old now and still performs occasionally and does commercials, plays golf and tennis. You should check out some of his great hits.

This song came out in 1977. I just happened to have a bay in the end of June 1977 who spent 6 weeks in hospital due to being a preemie ( 3 lbs. 10 oz. ). When he came home from the hospital I woulds sit ing the rocking chair and sing this sone to him. Really great memories.

This song hit #1 for 10 weeks in 1977 and a Grammy for best new artists of 1977.

Ok, let me tell you about 1977. This song was number 1 for 10 weeks! My sister even had a wind up jewelry box that played this song. It was the biggest hit of the year.

Another great softer and slower song would be "I Honestly Love You" by Olivia Newton John which came out in 1974. An absolutely beautiful song that showed a different side of her and is one of my favorites. Another great slow song by a female artist is "Coming Around Again" which came out in late 1986 and sung by the legendary Carly Simon. This is her comeback song and the video is so sweet and she looks incredible too. She had to be in her 50's when this came out. Jay and Amber, please review these songs or at least one of the songs. These are two legendary and strong female performers showing a much more gentle side that I know you would love. By the way, you guys are awesome and I look foward to your videos every day.

Fact: about 20 years ago I had a blind date with the writer of this song, Joseph Brooks, at the infamous Coffee shop at Union Square in Manhattan.. He was completely insane.

In '77 I saw her singing this as song of the year while I was finishing my army life. You called her an angel.and ironically she said she was actually proclaiming her love for God in this song.

You now need to try "Through the eyes of love" by Melissa Manchester

You may have seen her father, Pat Boone on TV. He is a spokesperson for a few products including Relief Factor, which was just on. He was a popular singer as well.

This song always reminds me of my mother. She had a little music turn style with a little girl on top and flowers, and I think a butterfly. When you wound the turnkey on the bottom and then put it down, it would spin around slowly and play this song. She had it on her dresser from as early as I can remember until the day she suddenly passed away. Now, this song just flat out makes me cry. It doesn’t matter how long ago she passed, I think about her every day, but certain songs and certain scents really hit me hard and remind me she’s gone. This is one of those songs. It’s a wonderful song, but it holds so much in the way of mixed emotions for me. It holds a lot of joy, of the memories of me playing with that music box, and a lot of pain at the fact that she’s no longer here.

This song gives me goosebumps on my arms every time I hear it. The song is just as beautiful as Debby Boone is. :)

This song got so much airplay back in the day I still can't bear to listen to it voluntarily.

They played this song so much when it came out that many people came to hate it. A lot.

This song was #1 for 10 consecutive weeks. It's still ranked as one of the top ten songs in the history of the Billboard Hot 100.

I grew up in the 70's, so this song became a very popular with me as a child. My parents recorded me on a cassette tape singing this song when I was probably 3 or 4 years old. I still love this song. Brings back a lot of memories!!!

Boone sang in a gospel quartet, and like her father was very religious. When asked who she was singing about, her answer was "God." Joseph Brooks, who wrote the song, took exception because that was not what he wrote it about - to him, it was an interpersonal love song.

This was on the radio... constantly.

Back in the day you couldn't go an hour without hearing that song. They overplayed it to exhaustion! Lol

It's a beautiful song. And as others have said, it was a BIG hit back in the 70's.🎶

Debby Boone was a very experienced "newbie" when this came out. Plus, she had the genes. She'd already been performing onstage, including in Vegas, with her parents Pat and Shirley Boone and her three sisters. Her maternal grandparents were Country artists Red Foley and Judy Martin.

My favourite song at 9, then the next year it was Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and Don't Look Back by Boston. The good times rolled.

This song was out when I was in the 7th grade in 1977. My best friend was absolutely obsessed with Debbie Boone.

This song played in the movie You Light Up My Life in 1977. It was performed by Kyitka Cisyk for the film where Didi Conn lip sang this song in the movie. Later it was recorded by Debby Boone. I remember going to see this at the theater. One of my favorite songs and movies of my youth. Great reaction.

There was a time in my life when I would have been thrilled to never hear this song again, it was on the charts forever. Now I love it again. Thank you!

Love this song! One of my favorites. Debbie had a very beautiful voice!

I got to see her perform during her Christmas concert tour last year, and when she came out for the encore, she said, "You really didn't think I would leave without singing 'That Song' did you?" Then she sang "You Light Up My Life."

Thank you for reacting to this song. I loved hearing it again. As many commenters have stated, Debbie is a daughter of Pat Boone. But through her mother, she is also a granddaughter of country music singer Red Foley. And she married Gabriel Ferrer, whose parents are actor Jose Ferrer and singer Rosemary Clooney.

This was a No. 1 song for 10 weeks. Debby Boone's father, Pat Boone, was an Elvis-era crooner back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Pat had No. 1 pop hits with "I Almost Lost My Mind," "Love Letters in the Sand" and "April Love." Debby and Pat are one of the rare parent-child pairs who scored individual No. 1 hits. Other parent-child pairs with solo No. 1 hits are Frank Sinatra and daughter Nancy Sinatra ... and Ricky Nelson and his twin sons, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, who go by the band name Nelson ... and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and his daughters Carnie and Wendy Wilson of the female trio Wilson Phillips ... and John Phillips and Michelle Phillip of the Mamas and the Papas and their daughter Chynna Phillips of the same trio WIlson Phillips ... and Billy Ray Cyrus (with Lil Nas X) and his daughter Miley Cyrus.

Debby and her dad Pat Boone came and sang at our church here in San Diego, many, many years ago. It was awesome and we were blessed to get to see them. Her dad is in movies and is a singer. A couple of my favorite songs of his are Love Letters In The Sand and April Love.

This was my grandmother's song to me when I was little. I'll admit I choke up whenever I hear this song. Thanks for reacting to it!
