We're All The Same - Kids From Fame - Song of the Month
It is sung by a
choir including Cynthia Gibb, Billy Hufsey, Carlo Imperato and Valerie
Landsburg. In the episode dancers and singers are struggling to work together.
When Chris temporarily goes deaf and has to leave the school the song is used
to bridge the gay between the hearing and the deaf as well as the singers and
dancer. Everyone signs the lyrics throughout the songs as they realize everyone
is the same but all in their own unique way.
Sadly, the song was
never released on a Fame Single or Album and so far it has never been performed
during a Fame concert.
