You're A Star - Carl Wayne (theme from New Faces) FULL THEME 

The chorus always makes me tear up. Happy memories of my younger days

I can see Tony Hatch, Mickie Most and Derek Hobson when I hear this!

I always think of Christmas Eve 1973 whenever I hear this song. I wasn't even three years old at the time. Such is the power of music.

I had this in my head for 10 years plus as an ear worm. But I couldn't remember where it came from. 1973, I was 8 years old.

I was helping my 7 year old with his homework and as he was proudly sticking his gold sticker stars on his correct answers i started singing this song to him at random. He asked "come on dad thats not a real song is it"..."hold on son...RU-vid"...and here we are. Hes now happily singing the chorus to himself up in his room. Generational!

Wow! That was a sound of my youth! Carl Wayne was the singer with the Move, the first singer on radio one (Flowers in the Rain) and a top session singer of jingles and stuff! Dies a few years ago of cancer, worked with hinm once...lovely man...friendly and professional!!

I also loved this song & still do. happy memories.

Still own the original single,ah memories as a 5 year old buying this with my Grandma from the local independent record shop

Rember this from when I was about 7 fond memories

Written by Tony Macaulay. arranged by Tony King, backing vocals: Tony Burrows, Clare Torry Stephanie de Sykes, recorded at Wessex Studio

Great song - back when life made sense K

"You're A Star" became extremely well known when it was used as the theme song for the ITV talent show 'New Faces'. It failed to dent the charts - surprising considering it was a very anthemic song and the popularity of the show.

Thanks for the memory. Been singing along to this. didn't even know I remembered the words!!!

I have an original vynil copy that Carl happily signed for me in Margate during the long hot summer of 76 when he was starring in Summer Season locally A Great Guy.

Yesterday I was happy to play For a penny or two a song Till a fellah in a black sedan Took a shine to my one-man-band He said, "We got plans for you, you'd never dream" You're a star, you're a star A lamé suit and a new guitar And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star You're a star, superstar On you go, it's your finest hour And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star I signed my name and the Friday came When the song that I used to sing Came out on a forty-five I sang it on the TV live Yes, the music played and I heard the people say You're a star, you're a star A lamé suit and a new guitar And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star You're a star, superstar On you go, it's your finest hour And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star Woah! The record did fine And there came a time When I bought my own black sedan And a piece of land for a home In St. George's Hill (that's where they all live, ya know) When I'm low, I'm a-happy to go To the street where I used to play Even though it makes me laugh To have to sign my autograph For the folks who used to drop me just to dance Now they all say... You're a star, you're a star A lamé suit and a new guitar And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star You're a star, superstar On you go, it's your finest hour And I know that you'll go far 'Cause you're a star Yes, I'm a star You're a star, you're a star A lamé suit...

The Britain's got talent of its day.😁

Great show fabulous theme tune happy memories of watching this when All the family were together. How time flies.

Superb

Got here from "Cruise of the Gods" with Rob Brydon, Steve Coogan, David Walliams and James Corden.

My parents always had this on early Saturday nights in the 70s. I vaguely remember Tony 'Hatchet'. Looks shockingly dated now but good memories.

Played at The Swadlincote Rink in 1964? with Carl Wayne and The Vikings, i borrowed his leather jacket, such a nice guy! Sadly missed!

Quanto è bella e ironica questa canzone. Grande Carl (rip)

Wonderful! V. pleased that Our Kid were included in the visuals (big teenage crush for me!) But CANNOT BELIEVE that it doesn't include the goddess of comedy herself, VICTORIA WOOD!!.....

the x factor of its day

I remember this talent show Derek Hobson was the compere. Micky Most and Tony Hatch were among the regular judges. They weren't like as they were often nasty to contestants. Bob Carolgees with Spit the Dog along with Lenny Henry won it. Singer Patti Boulaye was the only one who got maximum points.

Has anyone got the instrumental version that was used for a stand up show starring Jim Davidson? 😕

My dad left his band, pet sounds. They changed there name to loco and went on new faces. They won their week and appeared in the final where Davison(useless) won. They were a great band in their day.

I was on it in1973 I sang you me world
