Loretta Chandler on Being Black in America - Trivia of the Week

 

"I've shared that much of my character, Dusty was taken from my actual life and like Dusty, I did not know as much as I should have about being 'Black in America'. The wonderful producers on FAME helped me catch up. I did know Martin Luther King, because of the holiday (so grateful for that) and because my father went to the same school as King, Morehouse College."

"La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, 
La, La, La, La, La,   

"You gotta be your own hero.
 You gotta have something worth fighting for.
 Go out and find your own dream now. Oh, now.
 'Cause you only get one shot now, baby.
 You better make it hot now, baby.
 Give it what you got.

You gotta be your own hero (Be your own hero) 
Be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero).
Be your own hero.

Wishing on a rainbow at my feet.
It's a lucky sign.
Ain't nothing but the oil slick in the street,
After the rain.
But I, I feel A rush of inspiration in my heart.
It's real, Gonna ride this new sensation.
Tonight I'm opening and starring In my life.
You gotta be your own hero.
You gotta be your own hero.

Innocence in white chiffon.
You can't save it once it's gone.
Still the beat goes on.
As we watch our legends dying.
Toy soldiers in a storm.
Falling one by one.
So Drink a toast to Jimmy Dean And the queen of Sigma Chi.

You gotta be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero) 
Be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero)
Be your own hero.

Light a candle for the believers,
Still reaching for the sky (Reaching for the sky).
The future's in their eyes.
You gotta be your own hero 
(La La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero 
(La La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 

You gotta be your own hero (La)
Look into their eyes (La, la, la) 
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La) 
Light a candle for the believers (La, la, la)
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero. (La!)"
