This is SO awesome! Paul wrote this song as a teenager and was playing it between takes while filming the movie "Fame." The director, Alan Parker, liked it so much that he wrote it into the movie. I never thought I'd hear another rendition of it, so this is quite a treat. THANK YOU!!!
He sounds so much better now. I didnt watch this episode. Did he complete this song? If yes, how do i get a copy of it. Share me the link please. Thanks
One of the most popular love song in the 80s...... here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 during my high-school days..... I even once had a 60 min. cassette tape just for this song.😅😅😅
What a remarkable thing it is to experience again 30-plus years later nearly the same feelings I felt when I first heard this tender ballad in the original "Fame." Has it really been 30 years? My how time flies.
McCrane é um ator bem versátil, ele interpretou o adolescente romântico Montgomery, o asqueroso bandido Emil Antonowski e o médico Robert Romano! E também canta que é uma beleza!
Hi Larry. This song was released in 1980 as a sound track of the movie Fame. It is a classic song. Believe it or not, but this song is still played on the radios in Brazil and I love it. This is the best song ever.
I just about fell over when I heard this, had no idea he could sing.. so beautiful. I don't understand why he didn't have a big recording career. Glad I'm not the only one who was moved by seeing this on Harry's Law enough to look it up and discover the full version. NICE!
Oh my im in tears 😅ne of my fave songs when i was a teenager inplayed this in my guitar a million times..I never knew Paul Mcrane was the villain in Robocop not until today oh my...!
@persianlimoo Puck is played by Paul McCrane... it's probably why they worked the song into the show. Both of his versions, separated by decades, are fantastic.
from Jose' "Timo" Sepulveda.........Paul.......man, you can still do it, baby! You are even BETTER now than you were back in 1980. You are an incredibly talented man........keep on rockin'
Thanks so much mary2006er for loading this clip of this song. I wish we could hear the whole song. I love Harry's Law, I love music and when he sang this song, I was so amazed! He sounds just like James Taylor. I was so surprised that so many people have already heard the song and posted their version. I will totally learn this song now. All kinds of strange people have been giving their strange opinions about Harry's Law but Harry and this show are teaching Attys that it is not about the money!
Last night's season premiere definitively proves that Harry's Law is the most entertaining show on television. The snappy dialogue, creative plot twists, believable acting, inspired direction, sophisticated character development, and cutting-edge social commentary combine to make this second coming of Boston Legal television's best by light years. Curiously, some critics initially trashed Harry's yet praised Boston, even though both have the same writers, directors, producers, and (some) actors.
wow cool. I didnt like him much in ER to start with but then got to really love his character then had to know more about him . He's a great singer and actor as well..
"Fame" soundtrack was very meaningful to me in my coming-of-age years in college, and "Is It OK..." was always one of the most comforting and cathartic tunes. Right before Paul started singing tonight on "Harry's Law" I wondered if he would do this song. But I figured, "Nah, that tune's 30 years old and he's probably got a lot of other songs he'd like to do." Very pleasantly surprised when he launched into the familiar lyric...
What a treat ! Didn't know he performed this outside of Fame 🎥. Such a talent !! Still waiting for his debut album. Or rather...CD...or rather streaming. Lol
I love this song since i saw fame in the 70's and one thing I'm absolutely sure: this guy heard joao gilberto (girl from ipanema), a great singer from Brazil since late 50's. No demeaning in this comment, on the contrary: sophisticated musical culture, indeed.
you loved the song since you saw Fame in the 80s, to be exact 1980 when the film premiered in theatres =wink. If you had heard the song in the 1970s then you could of told the writer of the song that Paul McCrane stole the lyrics and sued him and the producers of Fame, from stealing lyrics
If you go to the Television Series "Harry's Law" that starred Kathy Bates-you will see Paul McCrane perform his song -many, many years later. He is in his 40's plus. Check it out-it's touching.
I remember this whole mess. I was a senior in high school, and my govt/econ teacher stopped our curriculum and we discussed this for almost 2 weeks. She bought as many copies as she could find of Newsweek so we'd have a copy for ourselves.
I love u paul omg! Why you're not releasing some songs now in 2014 :(( this is my fav as in number song top of the world song even if I die :((( the song is sweet and caring :((((
Where do I get the whole performance of this guy? This is simply fantastic. This song was a great success in the early 80´s. I simply love this song and this performance is great.
Paul got an Emmy nomination! He's up for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series - 2011 for his appearances on Harry's Law this season and I'm sure this amazing moment helped. The winner will be announced at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmys, which will be taped on September 10 and aired at a later date on the E! Network. And then the winner will appear on the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards airing 9/18.
@TurnersTwoCents hey me too! For a second I entertained that thought, esp. with the guitar but mentally laughed at myself for thinking that. Lo and behold!!!
Too bad you didn't get the whole song, this version for Harry's Law was AWESOME! The older version was good too, but this one was much better. I wish you could buy it on itunes or amazon! You should go upload the whole song and repost it.
I thought he might he might do another new song. But I was so freakin surprised to see him launch into "is it ok...". And he sounded great. Hope he's a regular next season. And maybe he'll do another song.
@persianlimoo When i just didn't know how to express myself, I read your comment and said: "Is that person reading my mind?" You just got it. Great comment, great song, but even greater version. Hope the DVD comes out with the full recording And thanks mary2006er for the uploading.
Nice rendition of a very beautiful song. Sadly it was cut short. Does anyone here know where i can watch the whole scene 'till he finished the song? Also, i'm curious how the audience reacted after he finished the song. Thank you!✌
This is SO awesome! Paul wrote this song as a teenager and was playing it between takes while filming the movie "Fame." The director, Alan Parker, liked it so much that he wrote it into the movie. I never thought I'd hear another rendition of it, so this is quite a treat. THANK YOU!!!
Actually, Paul sang this during his audition.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Wow! Love this song so much (and the way he sings it).
I never watched this show and I never knew that Paul McCrane sang this on film for a second time, until just now. 😳😍❣️
It was a great show. His character singing this was powerful
Same! Just discovered this 😭
helped me make it through high school in a very abusive household. This song...a song that I love.
Hauntingly arrestingly beautiful. If McCrane made a record I'd buy it. If he put on a concert I'd attend it. This is sublime.
He wrote and performed this song in the 1980 movie "Fame". It's on the soundtrack....
I know. Beautiful then. Beautiful now.
He sounds so much better now. I didnt watch this episode. Did he complete this song? If yes, how do i get a copy of it. Share me the link please. Thanks

I remember Paul Mac Crane in Fame. I ever loved his song and still...
What a remarkable thing it is to experience again 30-plus years later nearly the same feelings I felt when I first heard this tender ballad in the original "Fame." Has it really been 30 years? My how time flies.
We´re now in 2020 and Paul McRane is still famous in Brazil with this classic song. I love this song so much and I love his performance.
Você se lembra que essa música era da propaganda da calça Staroup aqui no Brasil? A propaganda está no UA-cam
@@soniamarangoni7238 Sim, eu lembro disso Sônia.
McCrane é um ator bem versátil, ele interpretou o adolescente romântico Montgomery, o asqueroso bandido Emil Antonowski e o médico Robert Romano! E também canta que é uma beleza!
I wonder how long it's been since he did this song. He still sounds great; in fact, he sounds even better now.
Hi Larry. This song was released in 1980 as a sound track of the movie Fame. It is a classic song. Believe it or not, but this song is still played on the radios in Brazil and I love it. This is the best song ever.
@@giovanisantiago7395 eu também adoro, mas não ouvi mais em rádios aqui no Brasil... Fico feliz em saber que ainda tocam!
@@soniamarangoni7238 na JB a noite no quadro Love Songs toca sempre e também na Antena 1 na programação normal.
@@giovanisantiago7395 That was the first place I heard it.
Singers practice their songs all the time, even if they rarely play them live
One the best love song of all time!
He IS the original singer, it's the same actor who performed it in "Fame". He wrote it too.
And has been enjoying the royalties ever since. Love this song.
He also is the baddie that melted in Robocop..
@@rickg8015 also the baddie in "24" (2006), as Keifer's terrorist brother
@@rickg8015 Hes also the righteous Deputy Bill Briggs who fight against the blob 1988.
@@vanwangyeDeputy Bill Briggs was awesome!
This man has actually got a very good singing voice.
He was in Fame!!
He wrote it for the movie, and preformed it, in "Fame"
Love this!! I only wish the entire performance had been shown.
Paul really should have had a music career as well.
such a sweet, pure voice.
Dead or alive you're coming with me
Used this song in 1985 to close the deal with a girl. And, by the way, mission accomplished. We'll celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary next month.
Did you perform?
Wow way to go! God bless u!
Congrats man. Its a really good song
Lets me guess ur pinoy
I hope you sang for her again.
I love Paul McCrane!! ❤
Give me all your money bookworm Elsa above your brains out
I loved this because he also sang it beautifully in Fame.
Wish Paul McCrane sang more. I kept hoping Dr. Romano would do something like this on ER. His voice is even better with age.
I just about fell over when I heard this, had no idea he could sing.. so beautiful. I don't understand why he didn't have a big recording career. Glad I'm not the only one who was moved by seeing this on Harry's Law enough to look it up and discover the full version. NICE!
It's beautiful to have you back singing that amazing song. Thank you.
Daaaaaaamn! Rocket Romano can sing!
Yes..ever and FOREVER!! (BRASIL SAID)
My favorite song in the musical!
tears falling down unattended....
my fave song ever
Oh my im in tears 😅ne of my fave songs when i was a teenager inplayed this in my guitar a million times..I never knew Paul Mcrane was the villain in Robocop not until today oh my...!
Paul McCrane LIVES!!!
Thank you for sharing!

I am in love with this song.
Now and then...heaven.
Nailed it 🎉
The entire cast of fame was great. RIP irene cara. Beautiful job and thanks for memories Paul.
from Jose' "Timo" Sepulveda.........Paul.......man, you can still do it, baby! You are even BETTER now than you were back in 1980. You are an incredibly talented man........keep on rockin'
Hermosa canción. Una máquina del tiempo. Recuerdo que mi abuelo la bailaba con mi abuela
So much love of this song
i bought the fame soundtrack just for this. He wrote and performed it in the movie.
Go Rocket!!
Su voz ..intacta .. una hermosura de cancion ...y como la interpreta Paul .... nadie mejor ....!!!
A song that breaks my heart always......
Ôhhhh! Lindeza desta música. Parabéns. Abraço. Amoooooo

Loved it the first time on Fame. Still love it!!!
This song was huge in the Philippines. Still being played up to now.

multi talented baddie (MTB)
He should have been in a band !
He would have been great in The Eagles!

I was actually expecting Clarence Bodicker crashing the scene and saying "Emil get your ass in the van!"

Wow!!
Damn Paul is a great singer! I'v always had such a huge crush on him:)
Happy birthday paul from italian boy live in rome
The best
What happened? Why was the song cut in the middle?
Awwww, "Montgomery" revisited 1:01. Wish the full version of this arrangement from Harry's Law was available (yes, I have the "Fame" version).
If you go to the Television Series "Harry's Law" that starred Kathy Bates-you will see Paul McCrane perform his song -many, many years later. He is in his 40's plus. Check it out-it's touching.
Voz sublime!

muito legal essa perfomance
Duda Senna queria ver ele tocando a música completa
Oh please can anyone upload the complete song ??? This is so beautiful song. Even already when he touch the first chord on his Guild guitar.
Jerry Kooyman They do have a whole video with lyrics to the song
Where?
Damn, he STILL sounds good!! Actually, his voice sounds BETTER here than on the original when he was about 19. GO PAUL!!!
Eu adoro esta musica, incrível ele cantar tão bem após quase 40 anos.
same guy who played villain in Robocop (1987) and 24 (2006)

"And it gets worse." "How could it POSSIBLY get any worse." "They dance."
Hasn't lost the beat! Talent!
I thought he might he might do another new song. But I was so freakin surprised to see him launch into "is it ok...". And he sounded great. Hope he's a regular next season. And maybe he'll do another song.
they were all speechless.
"FAME".
I know Paul McCrane from 'Wiseguy' (TV show)...fine actor and writer.
Oh.... I feel upset why cut....is there a full version of this ty...jejeje. ..
