Mr Brooks also had won an Emmy for the the song because it was featured in the movie with the same name. Brooks also directed the film. The other two movies he composed music for were; "Lords of Flatbush" and "Eddie and the Cruisers." These days the only reason why Joseph Brooks is getting any attention is for being in trouble with the law. He was accused by 13 women for luring them into his Manhattan apt for the possibilities of getting a movie role while it was alleged that he molested them. He is out of jail at the moment while on bail for his next court date two weeks from now.
Nicholas Brooks, who is Joseph Brook's son has his own troubles. He is currently in jail with no bail for the alleged murder of former girl friend, Sylvie Cachay who was found in a Soho hotel in Manhattan. Nick appeared in court today looking well groomed with a haircut and pressed shirt. He was reported to be soft spoken. He will have to go back to court in February. The judge did not give his bail and he will be locked up until he goes back to court.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life
These are the lyrics for the 1977 Emmy winning song by, Joseph Brooks.
