Just Like You - Debbie Allen - Song of the Month
"Just Like You is a funky disco song written by Tom Saviano and Jean Marie Arnold of the band Heat in 1980 for the bands album from that year also titled "Heat".
On Fame "Just Like You" comes from the season 2 episode "Class Act" where it was performed by the Waters as a song playing on the radio that Lydia does an impromptu dance routine to on the streets of New York.
The song was featured on the Kids From Fame Songs Album released in November 1982 in America and March 1983 in the U.K. where it was rerecorded by Debbie Allen. The song was also the B side to the final single "Songs" released by the cast in the U.K. in August 1983.
The song has so far never been performed in any of the Fame Concerts.

Thanks to Jeremy for this mix.
The original was released by Heat as the opening song on their 1980 album "Heat" and was also the bands first single.
You came callin', and I'm fallin'
You're like a fire and I feel like a flame
So consume me with what you're doin'
Love makes me hold on, I'll never be the
same
Just like you to take me higher
Just like me to make you care
Just like you to be the one who's always
there
Just like me to take you higher
Just like you to make me care
Just like me to be the one who's always
there
Hypnotizin', oh, so mystifying
I feel the magic in every word you say
Soul inspired, loves desire
When you're near me my love won't slip away
Love won't slip away, hey, hey, hey
Just like you to take me higher
Just like me to make you care
Just like you to be the one who's always
there
Just like me to take you higher
Just like you to make me care
Just like me to be the one who's always there.

"#rip
@chucknorris This one hit hard. I hadn’t
seen Chuck in years. We’d never been to each other’s homes. I’m not even sure
he still had my phone number. But I felt this one. I’ve been crying all
morning, not for the loss of someone I was extremely close to, but for the
speed at which life is moving, clarifying, expanding and contracting. It’s just
so damned fast right now—fast and big! Are you feeling it?
News outlets have been
hitting me up all day and friends have been sending photos. When I received the
first one of Chuck, Clarence and me, I realized, “Man. Life just keeps on
ticking. Chuck and Clarence are no longer here....but I am. Why?”
I’ll tell you
why...to live! to not waste our aliveness by living as if we’re dead. Chuck did
it. He lived fully all the way through.
Things are scary out
there right now, scarier than ever. But that’s why now, more than ever, is the
time to stand up fully, to be bold, brave and true about who we are and how we
want to express in this life. I’m sure as shit not gonna waste it. I’m goin’
for it
Who’s with me?"
The latest Billy Hufsey podcast is now available.
Have a great Month,
Mark.
