Fame News December 2023




40 years ago the Cast of Fame performed their first American concert on 29th December at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium as they recorded "Fame Looks At the Music of 1983" concerts for a special episode to be broadcast in 1984.

In the U.S. the episode "Break Dance"aired on December 10th.

In The U.K. TV Tops Magazine was still publishing the Fame Picture Strip and the 24th December Issue had a special Fame Mini mag.



In December Kids From Fame Media posts will be Celebrating:
Song of the Month: Dream Street 
Magazine of the Month: Kids From Fame Media Magazine
Merchandise of the Month: Cushions

As it's a short month so Cast Member, Character, Crew Member and Episode of the Month will be taking a break but there will still be lots of Fame fun to enjoy with new Magazine articles. 




Message from PR Paul as "Love Is Not Love" slips down the Heritage chart:

"I can’t express how overwhelmed and grateful I am for the love and support you have all given me by voting each week for my song “Love Is Not Love” on the Heritage Chart.

It seems that “Love Is Not Love” has peaked at #48 and has now slipped to #68. What a fun ride it’s been!

A list of thanks is in order:

To the AMAZING Mark Perkins: Unbeknownst to me, you submitted my song to the Heritage Chart and got the ball rolling. You got me on this most fabulous wild ride and all I can say is YOU! ROCK! I can get down on my hands and knees to THANK YOU and it still wouldn’t be enough.

To Phil Booth who co-wrote the song with me, Bill Angarola who produced and played most of the instruments, Steve Mugalian who played drums and @Liz Kent who sang background vocals - THANK YOU all. None of this happens without you guys!

To all family and friends globally (Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.), the Fame Family, Fire Island family of friends, the John Jay crew, my childhood friends from Fresh Meadows and @Professional Children’s School, all of Joy Rosenbaum's friends, The Heritage Chart Breakers Show, I can’t THANK YOU all enough!

To be on the same chart as the Beatles and The Rolling Stones is unbelievable to me – it’s truly beyond my wildest dreams!

I am humbled and grateful for all your help - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I will have new music to be released in the coming months, so here’s to more adventures in the near future.

Joy and I wish everyone a wonderful and peaceful holiday with all your love ones.

As we said in the 60’s “Make Love Not War”.

If you missed the video………….here’s the link.

 Love and Peace,

P.R. Paul Rosenbaum"

Thanks giving messages:

Erica Gimpel

"Thankful ~ Grateful~ Mindful~ Prayerful ~ Hopeful ~Peaceful

Thankful: To be starting this holiday by sharing time with my dear sister/ friends Georgina & Helen.

Grateful: For my Mother, my Family & dear Friends, my Creativity, Creative Expressions & Community, my Buddhist Practice & Worldwide Practitioners, and ultimately my Life Itself.

Mindful: Of the many people who are unable to gather with loved ones and share food on this day… and the many people who are experiencing extreme acts of violence and war around the world.

Prayerful: To end the violence and transform it into deep respect for all living beings, end food scarcity and transform it into food abundance, and ultimately end all wars to finally have peace on earth!

Hopeful: One day we will collectively pay tribute and acknowledge the land we are on in America is Indigenous land 

Peaceful: I will hold these thoughts and prayers as I walk through this day of Giving-Thanks & Thanks-Giving

PS- Thank you to all the people and family who show support and share your thoughts here FB. Your kindness, words and wisdom are deeply appreciated. Thank you  

Wishing everyone a lovely day of Giving-Thanks & Thanks-Giving.

Peace,

Erica"

Nia Peeples:

"I am So #Grateful for the #love we all have shared: you, me, family, friends, even total strangers who shared a moment of kindness or laughter or threw a thought of compassion out into the ether. For “Love creates like itself and is forever one with what’s created.” (A Course of Love) as far as I’m concerned all the rest is just fear trying to find its way back to wholeness which is Love.  #happythanksgiving"



Whilst Debbie Allen posted a video of her preparing the Thanksgiving food.


Janet Jackson has announced tour dates in Hawaii, The Philippines and Japan.




Have a Wonderful Christmas and New Year,

Mark
