Fame

[edit]

The song (or an instrumental version of it) is present in the 1980 movie Fame, during the audition of "Doris Finsecker" in the movie. I remember she was very emotional and was saying the lyrics almost like a poetry, while in the background her mother was starting to cry. I don't think it's enough to list it in "Other versions" section but someone may be interested about it. Mariushm (talk) 23:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
