The Hudson Brothers - So You are a Star

[@Killerqueen2022]

These guys were seriously underrated as musicians at the time. Loved this song as a kid, still love it now.

[@SparkleinSac]

Same here. I was thinking the other day that this is such an awesome song.

[@brentoncrowhurst8338]

Same same. Glad this song is posted. I've searched for it many times over the years.

[@FineFreddy5]

I remember their show when I was a little kid, my older sisters would watch it. They even bought the album, which I still have. I just lost one of my sisters. Little do the artists know how they contribute to our lives by giving us memories that last forever.

[@artman102]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Take care.

[@stevelewis8919]

so true.

[@stevelewis8919]

I was 5 when this song came out. I still think about it. lol.

What a beautiful song,I love this kind of old music.

[@radi0activv34]

This was my grandma’s favorite song. I just wish she was here today to listen to this. Rest in piece you Angel❤️ Mona Lynn Jantz 1960-2019

sorry for your loss. i hope you hold up man

[@Shiva-y8m]

This brought back so many memories of being a kid; sitting on the floor with my friends listening to our 45s, watching Razzle Dazzle then going outside to play, riding our bikes and climbing trees. Funny how a song can bring back so many good memories.

[@yossarian6799]

I remember as a kid thinking the intro of the Razzle Dazzle Show was the coolest thing on TV... and I still think so!

[@Mr.Rocklight]

Hudson Brothers ❤❤❤

[@ronvk100]

The Beatles are alive in this song , The Hudson Brothers did a fantastic piece of music here !!

[@eastfiftyseven]

Yes ! Head on Sirius today first time even though so was a kid in 70s. Thought of Beatles with the harmonies.

[@bobhess7434]

Yeah, I hear it. I never thought of it before. This song was so very popular in my hometown growing up.

[@fernandoferreiradossantos4808]

This song brings back "Hey Jude"

[@leighcarasso]

Reminds me of Badfinger but also The Beatles.

[@joejones9520]

@@leighcarasso yes!

[@JuneLynn]

great song, the lead singer sounds so much like John Lennon here. I remember watching their variety show. thanks so much for posting this!!!

[@iamdrumgod]

The Hudson Brothers have always made me smile. Simple as that.

[@vinnyveducci6736]

me too

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I second that. I was only 9 or 10 when Razzle was on.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Great song...classic 70s sound...I loved those years

[@mrob75]

'74 really gave some wonderful music, memories and times...We were all so young and listened to songs like this on our A.M. radio stations blaring out from that little speaker on dashboards riding to and from school....

[@linzyvixen9913]

I loved this song. And just discovered I still do!

[@patriciadelmastro8276]

Loved Brett Hudson.. They were a big part of my teenage years!!! Have all of their albums!!! Great memories!! Watched all of their shows!!!!

[@ladybug6076]

I used to love them and always watched their show don't know why they disappeared 😔 Bill was my favorite 😍

[@finster1968]

They’re still around! They are pretty active in the business as record producers and directors. Bill Hudson is dad to actors Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson. (And Kurt Russell is their stepdad).

[@LRS905]

Damn. Almost 37 years after I first heard this as a kid...and never knew who played this. Awesome!

[@debbiewilder4542]

I went to all their concerts in Salem Oregon, they were called The New Yorkers then. Still have all of Bills letters! He even had a nickname for me!

[@beatlefan64]

Very cool, thanks for sharing! 🙂🙂

[@BirdTalk13]

Wow! That’s awesome! 😊

[@forapps9364]

Wow - I've never heard this song or this band. Beautiful voices and perfect harmony.

[@razor6552]

They had a comedy show on Saturday mornings geared to kids. Wholesome comforting humor. Seemed like genuine nice guys

[@yossarian6799]

This is Kate and Oliver Hudson's father, Bill Hudson, and uncles Mark and Bret.

[@michaelwyrick876]

The song reminds me of my wife she passed away eight years ago from cancer I miss her so much every time I hear the song I Cry so much I wish you were here I'll see you in heaven

[@tomroach6275]

I'm sorry my friend. God Bless.

[@sejrec56]

Very sorry for your loss 🙏

[@charliesdiamond168]

Deepest condolences, Michael. I went through a deep loss, as well. She will always be there in spirit.

They were seriously part of my childhood...helped me thru dark times may God bless u guys and u find Him..

[@razor6552]

Very likable. Wholesome humor for kids.

Fantastic Song...Hudson Brothers forever...great vocals..great musicians..great humor..great writers...

[@mrb4886]

Agreed

[@musiccollector]

LOVED their TV show. Fabulous memories.

[@seancurran3603]

The greatest song nobody knows.

[@debrawise8400]

I absolutely love these brothers tuned in every week very unique show .

[@razor6552]

My sister and I watched their show nearly every Saturday

[@tammybracken8695]

So happy to have found this song again! Was madly in love with all 3 of them! Loved their show, had all their albums. Severely underrated!!!

[@stevelewis8919]

believe it or not this song is still in my head after all these years. I had to look it up, and here it is! Thanks!

[@frankfogarty3509]

I will always remember this song as I drove thru New Mexico on vacation in 1974. It was playing constantly on AM radio, and could not get it out of my head.

[@HermanAlfaro-d4j]

A very beautiful song, i love it.

[@rhondalumpkins6003]

Used to love this show as a kid and this song!

[@michaelwyrick7386]

I used to watch the Hudson brothers when I was a little too and when I heard this song I thought it was a great song they wrote one of the greatest and I thought it was a beautiful song to but it wasn't when I seen them sing it on their show that's not what a great combination of Three Brothers making a great hit they were wonderful times I'll never forget them now that my mom passed away am I remembering back when we were young it was so much fun or then I'll never forget that song I can hear it a hundred times and cry everytime I hear it Hudson Brothers you were great I'll miss you guys

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I always liked this song. Very Badfinger-ish. Mark had such a great voice ..... and can still bring it!

[@bobhess7434]

Great memories with this one! It was a HUGE hit record in my hometown of Louisville when I was in high school. Was a bigger hit there than it was nationally, landing at #6 on the end-of-the-year countdown.

[@yossarian6799]

I remember being a teenager and buying one of those "Billboard Book of Hits' compilations and shocked to see this was only #21 on Billboard. I grew up in PA's Lehigh Valley and remember this played regularly on either the NYC or Philadelphia stations (or both). My ex was from Baton Rouge LA and said it was a pretty big hit on the radio there too.

[@aya1960]

OMG...This song reminds me of when I was a teenager.I loved it then and still do.I also remember watching their show on tv.They were so cute.

[@brendafuller907]

These guys were absolutely wonderful. I was a big fan & totally in love with them. Funny. Incredibly talented musicians. Absolutely underrated!!

[@robasiansensation3118]

So nice of you to do this. Sweet video.

Thanks! 😊

[@sjoeld57]

Brings back the memories of great times. Haven't heard these guys in forever! Thanks for posting this song.

I remember hearing the DJ say this is probably what the Beatles would sound like if they'd stayed together lol. He did a good Lennon. Great song!

[@debradunn9296]

12 years when this song came out, Totally fell in love with Brett, Now I'm 50, and it brings back gr8 memories! Thanks for posting!!!

[@LibbySingsMezzo]

Hands off! Brett is mine. :)

[@musiccollector]

A true gem. Fabulous memories. Released on September 7, 1974 reaching #21 on November 23. It should have been at least Top 10.

[@janecenters2783]

Great song. Memories of high school 1974!

[@1970sGirl]

When I was about 10, I was MADLY in love with Brett Hudson !!!

[@BirdTalk13]

Oh yes!

[@lynntaylor8813]

Favorite of 1974. They got me through my last year of High School! Still love you boys ! Thanks for signing autographs in Connecticut! Will never forget Brett stopping and saying sure .

[@drailroad854]

Really? A favorite in 1974? Never heard these guys, even after 1974. Band sounds familiar but that may be because Bill Hudson hooked up with Goldie Hawn for a "few" months.

[@lynntaylor8813]

***** More than a few months, they had 2 children . Oliver is on Nashville and we all know who Kate is. I think the marriage lasted from 75 til 79.

[@drailroad854]

Lynn Taylor Hawn stuck it out with Hudson from '76 to '80 (we thought she was a little hottie! Her trademark? Her legs). Fyi, "few" months was sarcasm thus the "few" months. Anyhow, the point was, although the Hudson Bros name sounded vaguely familiar, stumbling on this KZbin was the first time I've ever heard these guys. Same with 100% of the folks I knew from that era.

[@BlueLineGroovy]

I absolutely LOVE The Hudsons. I own the compleat Razzle Dazzle on dvd. So much talent and fun and amazing production. I own albums and 45s too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️

[@Kapricorn1]

That is just a great song, only recently heard this on the DVD, but what a great song. Thanks for the video as well.

[@reneebegley8266]

I loved the Hudson Brothers and watched their show all the time. There were a lot of groups in the 70s with similar sounds because that was the style. They sounded like themselves. They were funny and Goldie Hawn married Bill and they had two children Oliver and Kate. I think most know of Kate Hudson as someone else posted but Oliver is an actor as well.. They were only married four years. They were really popular during the 70s.

[@SaucyWench7]

I just heard this on an oldies station and I couldn't believe it was the Hudson Brothers. I used to watch their show all the time when I was 11 or 12. :) This sounds like an English group. I used to have a crush on Bill just to be different because everyone had a crush on Brett. lol.

[@preshousyoakam16]

Gosh, I always loved their show and this song......can't wait to see if my sis remembers it......I needed a smile! Thanks

[@annemarie7254]

I ADORE THE HUDSON BROTHERS! 😭 💕 thank you for this!

[@stanleytryhard1825]

The Hudsons were so funny! They used a lot of the speed-up technique on their show, and were blessed with a good cast. I think of them when I see Imagination Movers.

[@cidb.212]

Loved their show! It was the perfect accompaniment to my Fruit Loops on a Saturday morning!

[@elvis316]

Hudson Brothers? Holy shit, I haven't heard or thought of these guys in a long long time. Thanks for sharing. I remember watching their tv show.

[@woperholic]

Thanks so much for posting. I was just a little boy when they had their TV show and I remember it fondly and so perfectly, including this song.

[@jekiwe]

forthe longest time, the only version i heard of this was on one of those compilation albums by either K-tel or Ronco or ???Then I got the single (45) and heard the unabridged version for the first time...and now after somehow losing the 45, I am able to hear the "unabridged" version once again....ty beatlefan....from that era..and we were proud to call it music...jeff

I looked up Hudson brothers because of family Guy and I triggered a vague recollection of the show, but that was actually a pretty decent song, it must’ve gotten lost in the shuffle with all that pop stuff coming out back then.

lol...I was reading up on Cyrano de Bergerac after a Twitter post on "Things in your 1970's living room" in which we have a bronze statue of him and Venus De Milo on pedestals. I could not remember anything about the play...JUST HIS BIG NOSE. So then I ended up watching the 1950's movie of the play where he is expertly depicted by Jose Ferrer. through the wiki, I saw Jose's son Gabriel Ferrer married Debbie Boone. An hour later, ( after listening to "You light up my life" and remembering all the Boone's. I found the wedding photos of Debbie Boones and the Ferrer's to see if Gabriel looked anything like his father or his brother Miguel Jose Ferrer. No, he doesn't ...He looks like his mother Rosemary Clooney (aunt to George Clooney). In a wedding photo was a tall man from my childhood. The photo named him Bill Hudson of the Hudson brothers...NOW I am remembering all three brothers and I loved the show too. THIS IS A DAY OF SURFING DURING A PANDEMIC. Seems we are all related one way or another.

I recently got a DVD series of the Razzle Dazzle Show. I had only a faint recollection of it from seeing it as a little kid back in 1975 or so, and it was so cool to see the show again now that I'm older and wiser and can understand and appreciate more of what is going on in the show.
