Was walking near the big library on 5th avenue in NY and was looking down toward the ground as I was walking. I soon heard "Keep ya head up.". I looked at who walked past me and it was the man I had a crush on, Gene Anthony Ray. I was in shock. Did not want to bother him, or be late for work, so I just smiled, turned around and kept it moving. He never turned around either. He just said it and continued on his way. I had a fantastic rest of my day that day!
I'm just finding out that he passed away after all this time. I had no idea. Was mentioning his name and Fame to someone. He died so young. He was a very talented dancer. RIP 🌹🌷
Aww I so loved Gene as Leroy he was super cute and a great dancer.. Sadly his family shenanigans got him embroiled and he passed away so young.. R.I.P. Gene Anthony Ray
@@nesetans1407his mother sold drugs whilst he shooting Fame. Ray was axed from the show after his mother was jailed for running a drug ring, and he failed to turn up for work 100 times. He struggled with addictions to alcohol and drugs, and worked only intermittently once the TV series ended.
Miss him...worked with him and had so much fun...a soul with endless energy for life...God bless you mate wherever you are among the stars in the sky!!!!!
Gosh! He was my biggest teenage crush back in the 80'th 😍☺️. I didn't miss a singel episode of Fame when it came on tv. I even started taking Jazz dance lessions! And later on went to Africa dancing the real tribe dances,I blame this dude for it! 😄 What a natural talanted dancer he was and what a carisma and body!🧡😊 Too sad he's life changed so dramatically and to die young & sick! Really sad!😔😪
We're not even from the same generation, but I think I'm falling in love with this guy.And what you said makes him more attractive.I have to stop watching videos about it now.And I hope you talked to him a little bit.And I hope he looked happy.💖💖
What a gifted young man. He had so much to look forward to. So sad, if we could only know what the future holds in moments like this, maybe the outcome could be changed and we would see so much more of his talents shared with the world. Still he made an impact and his contribution and legacy live on. R.I.P. beautiful soul.
I remember whenI was a kid, like 5 years old I wanted to marry Michael Jackson but as I grew older and realize what my physical type was, it literally was Jackie Jackson or Gene Anthony Ray…lol. He was a fine guy though he was gay, he was still fine.
