97. I saw Debbie on Pat Robertson's show around the time "You Light up My Life" was such a hit

Sat Sep 29, 2012, 07:22 PM

Sep 2012

She explained to the Rev. Pat that the song was about the Holy Spirit, which she was filled with, and the words "this can't be wrong when it seems so right" actually referred to the fact that when one has the Spirit within, even the wrong will be made right...or nothing is wrong 'cause it's right because the Spirit is indwelling...or...oh, hell, I can't really remember, but her point was, her hit tune was NOT about sex!! And the someone she was waiting to come along and sing her his song was--the Holy Spirit! I understand Debbie is somewhat estranged from her Dad these days, having to do with his politics, but don't quote me on that. Back in Pat's heyday, my devoted Christian mom let me, then about 15, buy a pair of white bucks 'cause that's what good clean-living Pat Boone wore. He was not viewed with derision among my Baptist buddies. Whatever...I did love my white bucks!
