Hi Fidelity Original Version by Enid Levine
"Hi Fidelity" was written by Enid Levine. Enid was writing and recording songs for her album when The Entertainment company who published her music started working providing the music for Fame. They submitted "Hi Fidelity", "Be Your Own Hero" and "Lay Back and Be Cool" which were all used in the show.
By the time Enid's album "American Love" was released in 1983 the Fame versions had already been released.

I've been so alone
Ain't no fun since
you've been gone
Since you've been
gone
Cryin' on the phone
You're the one
I got to fly to you
I got to get to you
somehow
Our love is tried and true
I'm a believer now
I'm still high on
you
And now we're
through the hardest part
Open your heart, and
let's start anew
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now,
baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to
me
Make my grey skies
electric blue
Kiss these sad times
goodbye and let's start anew
Why did I let you go? Say so long
Thought I was strong
Yes, I thought I was
strong, baby
Baby, now I know, I
was wrong
I want to fly to you
Make it up to you
somehow
Reach for the sky
with you
And never come back
down
I'm still high on
you
Now we're through
the hardest part
Open your heart, and
let's start anew
And let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now,
baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to
me
Make my grey skies
electric blue
Kiss these sad times
goodbye and let's start anew
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now,
baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to
me
Make my grey skies
electric blue
Kiss these sad times
goodbye and let's start anew, ooh
Let your angel,
baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now,
baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to
me
Make my grey skies
electric blue
Kiss these sad times
goodbye and let's start anew
Let your angel,
baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now.

Turn To Me - Valerie Landsburg - Song of the Month
"Turn To Me" is a beautiful power ballad which features in the season 3 episode "Consequences" and is performed by Valerie Landsburg. In the sotryline Doris has written the Song.
In reality The song was written by Lori Lieberman and Gary Scott. Gary Scott was Fame's Music Producer at this point and Lori Lieberman who is famous for for writing the song "Killing Me Softly, was his wife.
They wrote the song in 1982 and it was originally recorded by Maxine Nightingale featuring Jimmy Ruffin and appeared on Maxine's album from that year titled "It's A Beautiful Thing". It was also released as a single in the U.S. where it reached number 17 on the Billboard R&B Chart.
In 1983 Didier Barbelivien translated the song into French where it was recorded by Patti Layne for her album "Une
Espèce De Canadienne - Je Veux L'aimer".
The song was also Covered by Petula Clark for her 1988 album "My Greatest"
In "Fame" the song appears twice and the second, shorter version is a duet with Carlo Imperato, with different lyrics. A snippet of
Valerie's solo version also appeared in the season 3 episode "A Way of
Winning".
So far "Turn To Me" has never been performed live in any of the Fame concerts.
Valerie commented about the song:
"As you know I
became the ballad singer of the show, there were a lot of songs. I listen to
this and I can hear my voice maturing as I learned to work in a recording
studio. This was great with a hand held camera going around while I sang, The
high notes were hard to reach I can actually sing it now better I think. My
voice was still very young I was 25. It’s always funny to think this was always
lip synching. I learned the best way was always to sing full out while the
playback was going. Here is how it worked. You got a demo tape on Monday with a
lyric sheet. Tuesday you recorded a temporary track, they would finished all
the instrumentation without you and then Thursday you recorded and Friday you
shot it. What an education."
Just When I Thought We Held It All In Our Hands,
Something Inside Me Knew You Wouldn't Stay.
There You Are Again, All Of My Dreams I Feel With You,
Wondering Where To Turn And Who To Turn To.
If Only This Time You Wouldn't Turn Away.
Turn To Me
I'm The One Whose Always Loved You
Turn To Me
From The First Time That We Met.
Now It's Out Of My Hands,
And It's Up To Your Heart. (Your Heart).
Time And Again This World Will Keep On Turning
The Big Clock On The Wall Will Spin The Hours Away
You And I Could Keep Our Endless Searching
Just To Find What's Right In Front Of Us Today. (Today)
Turn To Me
I'm The One Whose Always Loved You
Turn To Me
From The First Time That We Met
Now It's Out Of My Hands
And It's Up To Your Heart.
Turn To Me
I'm The One Whose Always Loved You
Turn To Me
From The First Time That We Met
Now It's Out Of My Hands
And It's Up To Your Heart. (Your Heart).
Turn To Me
Turn To Me."
