All of us black and brown kids in the u.k LOVED Gene in the show Fame back in the day. We didn't have hardly any black role models on TV then, and he just owned the screen! Rest easy Gene, you were an inspiration to more people than you'll ever know. 🙏
#nammyohorengekyo..#lotusflowers..for him.. Gene Anthony Ray is the embodiment of the lyrics of the song Fame he is the percentification of the lyrics... I'm so sorry I wasn't there for this award
An absolute treasure and an inspiration to us all. A light in all of our lives that shone but we did not appreciate enfatizó the time. One in a million
I waited with baited breath to see him,every week,on the show,wow he was powerful so amazingly talented I loved his voice,and the way he moved.pure love for the guy..i wish his family all my love. I will be the first to walk by, him,in the hope of a dance,when I'm in heaven.
He did have formal training he attended The High School of Performing Arts in real life. Granted he may not have had early training but he did attend PA. He was extremely talented as they said from birth.
Rest in peace Gene we fame fans truly miss you a lot l loved his dancing move's and his singing he played amazing part in fame l loved in the 80s God bless you xx
God bless Gene, and all his family blessed to have watched fame as a kid, you could feel the love for the arts all the cast, crew had and how Gene danced was just a pure blessing. Love to Gene and all the cast in heaven and here on earth xxxxxx peace xxxxx
Gene could of been an bigger star in the dancing 🕺🏽 industry. He was so amazing 🤩 in FAME. Life cut to short. R.I.P. Gene Anthony. You will never be forgotten.💔💔🙏🏾
He was a bad dancer. Fame was something I never missed and him and Debby Allen was someone to look up to. Irene Caren who could forget fame."Take a look at me and tell me what you see"

@@hannibalebc2775 "The following summer, in 1984, Ray's mother was arrested in a drug raid along with 14 others, including his grandmother, three aunts, and three uncles. Ray's mother, 46-year-old Jean Ray, was charged with dealing heroin and cocaine. His grandmother, 66-year-old Viola (Lilly) Ward, was carrying six ounces of cocaine and a loaded .38-caliber pistol when she was taken into custody. In March 1984, after a two-week trial, Ray's mother was convicted. According to police, she sold heroin and cocaine to undercover officers in several buys in 1983 that took place in Harlem bars. In April 1984 she was sentenced to at least 15 years, with parole eligibility in 1999. Although Ray, who remained very loyal to his mother, was never implicated in the drug dealings, he was under tremendous stress. After failing to show up for Fame rehearsals 100 times and self-admittedly using drugs between shoots, he was fired from the show in 1984. Ray's use of drugs and alcohol continued unabated. His personal and professional life in shambles, he sat idle for five months, during which time he gained nearly thirty pounds. Eventually Ray began to work out, slimming down again to his normal 28-inch waist size. He spent the remainder of his life attempting to reclaim his place in the spotlight but was never successful." www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/ray-gene-anthony

@@hannibalebc2775 I think YOU need to know the facts. Run a simple background check on his Mother.
@@hannibalebc2775 if you actually ARE part of his family, you should be ashamed.
