I loved Fame from the very word `go` and have all five of the BBC vinyl albums tucked safely away in my collection. For years I longed for the albums to be released on cd but up to now only the first one `The Kids From Fame` has been put out on compact disc. To find this album out on cd was a great bonus as there are several tracks from the other as-yet-unreleased albums. To me Fame will always be Debbie Allen, Valerie Landsburg, Lori Singer, Erica Gimpel, Lee Curreri, Carlo Imperato and the late Gene Anthony Ray, and you can hear all their voices on this cd. The title track from the movie Fame sung by Irene Cara is a must but I wish the version sung by Erica Gimpel from the tv show would have been put on as a bonus track. Starmaker and Hi-Fidelity are brilliant, fantastic songs and the charm of Lori Singer`s unsteady, untrained vocals on It`s Gonna Be A Long Night has always held a special place in my heart. It`s such a pretty, heartfelt song (I disagree with those people who put the song down purely because Lori Singer should have `stuck to playing the cello`!) Desdemona and Life Is A Celebration are real quality, high performance songs are you just have to get up and `get down` with the infectiousness of the drama of both songs! I have to say I`m not all that keen on the four songs included from the Stage Show and would rather more from the series had been included instead. My choices would have been Fame (by Erica Gimpel), Rock `n` Roll World from the 3rd series, the wonderful Beautiful Dreamer by Valerie Landsburg and the dance number Body Language by Debbie Allen. All in all though its a wonderful cd and a real MUST for ALL Fame fans. The three bonus tracks at the end Friday Night, Murphy Blues and False Alarm leave you longing for an Ultimate Fame Volume Two cd!!

Well we have only waited 20 years for this cd to finally be released in the UK !
Yep Coco, Leroy, Danny, Doris, Bruno, Julie, Miss Grant - they are all back for your entertainment.
Not really sure why four tracks from the musical Fame are on this cd as they have nothing to do with the original movie or t.v. series ??? Could have put some other great tracks from the show there instead.
The worse song must be 'It's gonna be a long night' - Lori Singer played the cello a whole lot better than she did with her singing.
But don't let that put u off buying this as the other great songs make up for it in so many ways.
Of course the chart topping 'Starmaker', 'Hi-Fidelity' and 'Friday night' are here and as soon as u hear them again it takes u back to being a teenager and wanting to dance, sing and perform just like the kids.
The sparkle is still there and the music is just as bright as it was back then. Go buy the cd then !
Is Fame going to live forever ? - it already has :)
RIP Gene Anthony Ray

Ultimate Fame is an album which I really enjoyed listening to. All the tracks featured in the album are featured in the hit musical movie Fame, TV series and subsequent productions of Fame. The tracks include Fame, Out Here On My Own, Starmaker, Hi-Fidelity and many more. The Fame concept is based on a group of students in performing arts school and the album is a real contribution how hard they worked to achieve stardom. The tracks are well sung and a great joy to listen to.
Fame is a popular series during the 1980's and to be able to relight those memories of those days is a real delight. The Ultimate Fame is an album I desperately wanted after watching the movie and the TV series and extremely pleased with the results. This music is different from what I normally listen to, as it makes you feel good and instils confidence in yourself. It is music of a different perspective if you get what I mean.
If you are fan of Fame, then this is the album to purchase and relight the memories. You will not get any better album of Fame in the retail market. This is your Ultimate Fame.

All Fame
From the classic musical, this version contains a long of songs I have not heard previously. Very good classics but no updated songs.
