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.

Love and miss you Kasey. Your vocal for You Light Up My Life were absolutely amazing
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!!
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
Debby & Kasey both gave great peeformances of " You Light Up My Life. "
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 ♥️

The '70s......what a time to be alive , and be part of.........GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!
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.😢
Thank you for putting on KZread 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.!!
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.

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
Que bello recordar a esta actriz. Como ha pasado el tiempo. Una época maravillosa.
This is one of my my favourite songs
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。
Kasey Cisik: you cannot find this version in Amazon music or elsewhere. Such a warm powerful performance of the song. ❤
Thanks for this video.
For a minute, I thought it was Didi Conn (Frenchy) actually singing. Almost blew my mind. But actually Kvitka Cisyk. Incredible voice.

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
Kacey has a very beautiful voice.I like Didi alot too.Fantastic movie.Kacey will forever be one of my special singers.
Lindíssima interpretação , maravilhosa , parabéns Kasey .
best version ever!!!
Beautiful
Well Done!! Loved this.
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 like this version 100× better than Debbie Boone's. RIP Kasey.

Her voice is stronger and full. No strain hitting the high notes. Debbie Boone was just weak all over.

I'm glad Debby Boone remade this.
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.
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...😢

Kasey recorded the song as a demo n it was already that good...
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!!!
Michael Zaslow...❤
Квіточка Цісик! Царства Небесного! Перлинка України, ми тебе пам'ятаємо !🙏🇺🇦♥️ Чудовий голос, чудова людина! Шкода не довгий вік!(((
I'm always surprised that so many great songs come from meh movies.
I watched the movie. It was too sad.
I was teenager that time. NoevI can sing this pretty song to my husband.
I think I prefer this version to the Debbie Boone version.

Frenchy from Grease!
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.
DEBBY BOONE STOLE THIS!!!!

Como é o nome desse filme gostaria de assistir
Comment s'appelle ce film svp ? Merci 🙏🙂
Patty Smith version?
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.

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.
