Patti Smith "You Light Up My Life" on "Kids Are People Too"



Uploaded by: postingoldtapes
Video Description:
I'm going through my music videotapes from the 1980s and posting things that I don't find here currently. Maybe only one or two people might be looking for some of these, but those people should be very happy.
The American Broadcasting Company used to have a show back in the 80s called "Kids Are People Too" that had some surprising guests. Patti appeared on it with Joe Brooks and sang his song "You Light Up My Life".

I think I threw up a little in my mouth..that sucked monkey ass.
Punk? maybe bubblegum punk - Hello Kitty is 10x more punk that Patty Smith.
Get real
you're missing my ... ( 2 months ago by madfoot)
you're missing my point--there is no "thinking" she is punk, Grasshopper. Saying "Patty Smith isn't punk" is like saying "John Hancock didn't sign the declaration of independence."
What is punk? Is it posing in an attitude approved by a focus group, or is it surprising the bourgeoisie with something shocking and unsettling? If it's the former, then you'd be right... but you're not. Sometimes, singing Debbie Boone is the most punkrock thing you can do.

Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Black Flag - that's punk, even oingo boingo is more punk that Patty Smith - puhlease
rock music with ... ( 2 months ago by princcess0)
rock music with deliberately offensive lyrics expressing anger and social alienation; in part a reaction against progressive rock. OR a type of rock-'n'-roll, reaching its peak in the late 1970s and characterized by loud, insistent music and abusive or violent protest lyrics, and whose performers and followers are distinguished by extremes of dress and socially defiant behavior. It's all good... a matter of opinion, dear grasshopper
The thing is, if ... ( 2 months ago by postingoldtapes)
The thing is, if you ASK the DKs, the Pistols or Black Flag if Patti Smith is punk, all will say yes. I didn't put this video up as an example of Patti's punk bona fides, but to share a rare and interesting thing from my collection. She's an artist and like any truly great does what the fuck she wants no matter what you, or anyone, might think. And that is genuinely punk.

Check out "Piss Factory" or "Rock'n'Roll N*gg*r". Patti is punk and was one of the inventors of the genre.

I really get a kick out of all the morons saying Patti Smith isn't punk. They'd say the same about the Ramones if they say the clip of them on Sha Na Na. Clueless
Way to go, Patti.

Also, it's ridiculous that people who don't even know who this is are badmouthing her. A pioneer punker who has the class and versatility to go on a kids show and do something mellow, given the audience (also an academy award winning song that year).

Brilliant! I thought it was cute/funny how she forgot the words, then ran over to Joe Brooks to ask him the words...hehe. Thanks many for uploading. I get teary eyed everytime I listen to the song.

That was really good. I wonder if the guys from R.E,M. have seen this. I know that at least Michael Stipe is a huge {atti Smith fan.

Thank you so very much for putting this up--I wept through the whole performance. Purity.

Glad to have made it available. I'm amazed at the number of people who seem to assume that, to be "punk", one must also be cynical. But in truth hope and optimism are far more radical.

Those saying she's not punk are just idiots. This clip is awesome on so many levels.

Incredible! One day it will be common knowledge that Patti Smith was a genius.

Look at Patti....singing out hope at a world that is so lost and indifferent, she shines and shines!!!!!!
How can fools listen to divas full of self-adoration and vote for liars who promote their own interests when there are people like her in this world?
