We're All The Same - Kids From Fame - Song of the Month

"We're All The Same " is an inspirational  song written by  Sue Sheridan & Laura Creamer in 1983 specially for "Fame". 

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.

"We All Can Be Dancers,

Each In Our Own Way.

Movement Is Expression

For Feelings In Our Hearts,

That Words Could Never Say.

And If You Need A Hand,

There's Always On Here.

No Reason To Ask,

And No Need To Fear.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

When You Look Deep Inside

We're All Afraid Of Standing Alone.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

In So Many Different Ways.

And One By One We'll Find Our Way Home,

Together, On Our Own. 

We're All The Same, (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh Yes.

ooh, ooh, ooh

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh,

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

We All Can Be Singers,

Each In Our Own Way.

We Reach Out In The Darkness,

We Touch With Just A Song,

That Turns The Night Into Day.

Won't You Come Join Our Chorus,

We'll Fill Up The Air,

With True Celebration,

For All That We Share.

Oh, We're All The Same, (All The Same)

When You Look Deep Inside.

We're All Afraid Of Standing Alone.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

In So Many Different Ways.

And One By One We'll Find Our Way Home,

Together, On Our Own. 

We, All Can Be Dancers,

We All Can Be Singers,

We're All the Same."

Debbie Allen in depth interview in Conversation with Pat Harvey from last month.

Last Month on her Birthday Nia Peeples held a live stream and one of the guests she spoke to was Jesse Borrego. Thanks to Larry from Remember Fame on Instagram for posting the video.

Nia also posted a video of pictures taken at the ET Fame Reunion in 2022 saying: "Fame doesn’t last forever. But the love that exists in any given moment does.”

“LOVE Creates like itself and is forever one with what’s created.” ACOL

Upon this may we choose to rest our awareness, setting the course for the rest of our lives."

Erica Gimpel Posted a New Year's message:

"There is a saying:

“How you end the year is how you begin the next.”

Last night, I was inspired to dance and I realized what lives inside me is a joyous spirit.

As I approach this New Year of 2026,  I look forward to welcoming in more fun, freedom of expression, spontaneity and joy!

It felt like 2025 was filled with so many atrocities here in America and around the world. As I witnessed these different events my heart broke… I will continue to chant and take action to bring forth humanity, justice and peace in our world—basic human rights to which I am deeply committed.

However, this year I will not allow these atrocities to rob me of my inherent joy!  So I will do my best to maintain, nurture, support and protect my joy so I can share it with others, hopefully igniting more joy and light in our world. That will be my radical act this coming year: maintaining my joy.

I wish everyone on this planet we share, Peace, Love & Joy!

Happy 2026!

Peace,

Erica☮️"

Olivia Barash posted last month an update on her health and housing situation:

"My apologies for not checking in sooner…

 Pippin and I have been staying in a hotel for nearly one month, now.

We were displaced by the recovery home team… who I trusted to look after me, while disabled from surviving a recent stroke.

I was easily manipulated into paying an inflated rate for my first month,, after moving in… [then we were rendered homeless by the very one who moved me into the home I believed was a blessing,,, not even two weeks later]. I’d also paid for another haphazard move, that left various valuables behind.

This entire fiasco has taken the spirit out of me. No plans of where we go from here.

I’m working toward getting medical clearance if I choose to go into another program.

Presently I do need a co-signer for me to secure a studio in this neighborhood.

Once I have a more permanent address… I can start working with in-home caregivers.

 One last Xmas Wish…

 Much Love,

 Olivia" 

Janet Jackson posted a New Year's message teasing exciting things to come in 2026!

Billy Hufsey posted a New Year Message:

"And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them. It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. A loving heart is the truest wisdom. Don't wait to do what you want to do, do it know, time is running!!! Go get it!!"

Have a great month,
