Debby Boone: Reflections of Rosemary

Debby Boone earned instant fame in 1977 when the song “You Light Up My Life” became an overnight hit. The tune, which outranked even The Beatles by claiming the number-1 spot on the Billboard charts for ten straight weeks, sold in excess of four million copies; the album went double platinum with sales in excess of two million. The song went on to win an Academy Award for Best Song in a Motion Picture, and Debby received the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of the Year.

Reflections of Rosemary is an intimate musical portrait of Debby’s late mother-in-law, the legendary singer Rosemary Clooney (as seen in the classic motion picture White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye). The performance is a deeply heartfelt tribute to the unforgettable Rosemary, a woman for whom Debby had great love and respect.

“I wanted to select songs that would give an insight into Rosemary from a family perspective, and from the more than 30 years that I spent with her,” says Boone.

Debby performed in March 2010 on the stage of The Bezemes Family Theater during the filming of PBS’s National Television Special Marvin Hamlisch Presents: The ‘70s, The Way We Were.
