Year: 1977
Chart Position: #1
Last year's Worst Songs position: #22
“You Light Up My Life” has made our Worst Song list every year and has hit the top 10 three times. It was also the #1 song of the 70s, staying on top of the chart for 10 weeks. Oh, and it also won an Oscar for Best Song. Not bad for the only hit for the daughter of wonder-bread-rocker Pat Boone. She never had another hit – concentrating instead on raising her family and recording children’s albums.
Fun Fact: In the movie Didi Conn (of Grease fame) lip-syncs the song, but it isn’t Debby singing. The voice in the film belongs to Kacey Cisyk, a little-known actress who plays a bridesmaid in the film. According to Kacey, she was never paid for singing, was never listed in the movie credits, and on the soundtrack album is listed as a “background singer.”
