Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
We don't know whether Fame will, like its iconic, Irene Cara-sung title song insists, "live forever." But director Alan Parker's vibrant, ambitious 1980 tale of New York's High School of the Performing Arts has been remarkably influential, spawning a TV series, stage musical, and helping cast the mold--for better or worse--for the decades of pop-song dominated soundtracks that followed in its wake. But the innocent, urgent charms of the original won't be denied, and this release marks the album's first digital remastering, an edition supplemented by three previously unreleased bonus tracks (the wistful ballad "Miles From Here," as well as instrumental versions of the title track and Top 20 Cara hit, "Out Here on My Own," that underscore composer Michael Gore's pop-disco inspirations). --Jerry McCulley

Im a big fan of the original film to Fame(1980) and grew up listening to the tunes when my mother played this on cassette, it was a real treat to hear this again years later!
Recently when the new Fame(2009) came to theaters I rushed out to see it and was not dissapointed, but the new film needs some slight improvement.
Overall the classic film soundtrack is totally worth checking out, it has some great songs that Im sure any hardcore fans of the original Fame will like.

What can I say? It's the original soundtrack to the hit TV series of my youth and today's new and updated screen version. Still great tunes.

I've grown increasingly fond of the movie Fame over the years, appreciating more and more what an electrifying and entertaining picture it is. It was filled with great songs, both upbeat and slower, that I feel have held up very well. Irene Cara has an amazing voice.
What I would like to focus on in this review is the recording quality of the remastered CD. It is miles above the original release. If you have the original CD of Fame, cut it into little pieces and get this one. The original ... Read More

Here is an expanded version of the original 1980 RSO(Robert Stigwood Organization) release featuring the original 9-track line-up with instrumental versions of the title track and OUT HERE ON MY OWN.

DOGS IN THE YARD and IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU MINE? are performed by Paul McCrane who also appeared in the film. Another hit from this album is RED LIGHT,performed by ... Read More

I used this soundtrack--in LP form--many years ago when I first started teaching dance. This summer I used it as part of a dance history class. I used this music for the American Jazz Dance/Broadway Style section of the class, and my elementary age students had to create original choreography to the theme song--in the style of Bob Fosse. The music was appropriate for my theme and the age level of the students. After all these years, it's still catchy.
