THE STORY OF LEIF GARRETT

[@earthlingbrandy8368]

His music captured hearts of many people♥️♥️♥️

[@ShosyLeigh]

Keep it up, Leif! Our past doesn’t define who we are becoming. It just shows how far we’ve gone to get where we are currently. He always had talent. And is still loved and admired today. Big hugs 🤗 ♥️✨

[@wht-rabt-obj]

He really is a very talented guy. I hope he’s happy and healthy now.

[@normanfletcher8332]

Wow, Leif Garrett, not heard that name in years (& years & years), Thank you for update..

[@ssy1pny]

OMG, I remember him. I had a big fat crush. At 17 I was in love with him. I'm so glad he is doing better. I used to watch Celebrity Rehab. I'm glad it's off the air. This is horrible what they did to people.

[@discomania80]

I remember he was in direct competition with Shaun Cassidy....obviousely Leif Garrett took over the Teen Idol arena in the late 70's

[@kidmack3556]

I saw him at the Burbank airport in May of 1979 traveling with a small entourage, and I was impressed that he was waiting at the luggage carousel to claim and carry his own luggage just like the rest of us.

[@Americansangel]

He was on my bedroom wall when I was a kid ❤

[@cherylbigham2037]

Loved Leif Garrett when I was a teenager. Met him in a small bar in New Brunswick, NJ (probably in the late 90s) when he was with his band F8. He was very sweet & polite. Gotta find that picture of us! I wish him all the best. God Bless.❤

[@IMMoreThanUSee]

Love Leif Garrett, also Shaun Cassidy, and Andy Gibb!! Had their posters all over my walls!!!

[@josettedc703]

i used to have a crush on them too but not anymore now, only good memories!

[@ziesurprenant5435]

He’s the most beautiful creation of God. His nose, eyes smile hair… God….will make you fell in love at the first sight. I wish him good health and happiness…

[@PenelopePeppers]

I am glad to hear he is he still alive and living life !!!! He was one of my favorites growing up and still is :) :) His was a bad boy but that doesn't take away my Good Memories :)

[@teijaflink2226]

Yeah seems he's one of them who survived, many have died.

[@ruthcallahan3122]

He was my dream Boy,where I was 15. Now I’m 58 and still love his Music 🎵.

[@jennifer5046]

Exact same for me!!!

[@ToddPeesallot]

He deserves to be happy and should be proud of his sobriety . He has had alot of ups and downs but in this later part of his life seems to have a good head on his shoulders and has overcome the negativity that alot of haters seem to wish on him . I think he deserves to be happy and is a good role model for ppl now

[@debbiemullen2574]

I liked him on Apples Way, playing the little brother of my favorite Vince Van Patten. Leif was adorable. Sorry about his bad times. Hope he's doing better.

[@Jen-yv4eg]

"I was made for dancing...all, all, all... all alone" 🎉 loved Leif's pop music in the 70's. Fun to dance to. His friend Roland who was in the car accident passed away. 😢🙏

[@tinarammage9082]

Love you Leif!! Always have and always will 💖

[@printesshensley9807]

I can’t believe I just now found this video on Leif Garrett, I thought I had seen every video about him. I’m so glad I found this! Thank you. ❤

[@janetpatterson7915]

I was madly in love with him in the 70s, to say the least!!😂

[@lisathornton8543]

Who ever did this video did a fantastic ❤job

[@judyholiday1794]

I remember my 10 year old self falling madly in love with Leif when I saw him on "Three for the road"..Then I discovered Tiger Beat,and Teen Beat magazines and I had Leif plastered all over my bedroom walls..Of course like all 11 year old girls I found myself falling for Shaun Cassidy who ended up being Leif's competition..I hate that Leif had such a complicated life and to be honest his mother was responsible for not watching out for her teenage son..She admitted to this after he was already a full blown addict..I wish Leif nothing but health and happiness God knows he has earned it..❤

[@vanessalittle-sellers7981]

I HAD SUCH A CRUSH ON HIM WAY WAY BACK IN THE DAY!! HES STILL VERY HANDSOME!!❤

[@forakermm]

My wall was covered with his posters and Tiger Beat pics. Happy he is alive and well. 💕

[@Randilynn66]

Me too

[@novelinasarte5932]

I ❤ Leif Garret..like all of his songs.

[@1Kaileegirl]

Happy to hear he is doing well now Hope he stays strong and is happy with his life

[@daviddaniel4687]

Great job young lady. Keep em coming.

[@whodoyoulovetv]

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

[@gracesmith5190]

This video is really good

[@artisticj6967]

Admire him for staying on the right path, it can be tough but everyone's heart is strong and can pull us thru anything we want it to endure. Best wishes hope you make more appearances in the future.💖

[@pamelacharbonneau3115]

He wanted to be one of us when he was younger.

[@KatherineDePietro-bs9oi]

Leif Forever Strong🥰🥰🥰🌹🦋❤️❤️💪💪💪💪*"Always*"Shineing🌞*"With His *""Heart ❤️*"Lite💡🌞On🥰🌹

[@kidmack3556]

Thank you for this video. AND THANK YOU FOR NO ADS TO FIGHT OFF!!!! New Subscriber here. I grew up enjoying Garrett's movie and television performances, especially the canceled "Three For The Road" Didn't know until I watched your video that he and Dawn "Dodie Douglas" Lyn are siblings!... Never once heard about that in all these years...

[@whodoyoulovetv]

Thanks for taking the time to check out the video and subscribing! 😀

[@constancecherry3996]

I remember him I was made for dancing

[@whodoyoulovetv]

That is a good song!

[@JoyAllen-ek9mu]

He was born a year before I was. He still is a great person

[@princesstruth3759]

O mamma Mia - Leif Garrett was my first big 😁😁love . I bought the Bravo 5-6 times to get him entire on my wall in the sleeping room . Tough battle against my parents - 🎉🎉Marie / Luxemburg - Much love

[@vickiekrantz5061]

I love Leif Garrett

[@jessybraden6325]

Congrats on getting your channel going, totally subscribed. Looking forward to future vids

[@Legaltype1963]

I still have that album.

[@kimberbrown2858]

My hearthrob!

[@someguy42093]

Sad that they wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his music

[@cynthiavicencio5556]

My idol lief garett

[@nildagamez7655]

He was on top of the world.

[@davidkitterman3952]

Roland used to train at the same gym I used to in Simi Valley he had his own personal trainer that met him at the gym

[@karenfindley3791]

Leif will always hold my ❤

[@jaketheman091]

You forgot to mention his 1980 album, Can't Explain, which was described as his first "real" album! Otherwise, love the detail and presentation, and especially that you take a non-biased approach to telling his story. You've earned my subscription :)

[@pacmanindy]

I bought many teen mags with pics of Leif Garrett, Scott Baio, Shaun Cassidy, and various members of the Bay City Rollers. That was the late ‘70s. But we both loved Andy Gibb!!!

[@brendamchugh3813]

I had a crush on Leif Garret as well as Donny Osmond , Sean & David Cassidy while Elvis Presley was my very first crush

[@CarlTMontano]

I heard about Leif Garrett when I first saw the original walking tall along with the other two then I bought a couple of his cassettes then

[@michellerene951]

I was a huge fan of Leif's in the 70s, posters all over my wall. We haven't seen or heard from him in a few years. Would love to know how he's doing.

[@DeeDee-il7zk]

He was a cutie!!

[@imetaboyiusedtoknow8308]

He should do nostalgia tours as many former teen heart throbs do. Managed correctly, this could be lucrative for him. One-tme teen fans have a lot of disposable $$$ now and are willing to spend it on a look back.

[@telmadosreissilva9590]

Ah Deus, amava Leif!!!!

[@SOLDOZER]

Wow I never knew that was him in The Outsiders. Ive seen that movie probably 10 times and did not know that was him.

[@ShelbyBouvier]

Leif Forever Strong 💪💪💪My Future Hubby💒💍💍👩‍❤️‍👨♥️♥️🌹🥰

[@lizadivine3785]

He and jfk jr were the best looking guys ever

[@galnhus56]

3:15 "...and in 1979, when he was 15..." In the beginning of this video, it was said Garret was born in 1961. I'm not a mathmetician, but i don't think these numbers add up.

[@marcelomorguia109]

I never heared he get married or having children’s .. of his own from this video ? Isn’t he have ? He is my idol in the early 80’s .!

[@susanmarcoullier6148]

How about the story of Rex smith

[@joycampi7233]

Yes!!!!

[@darrelljohnson1319]

Sad people blame others for their weakness he was on Top of the world when he began drugs and he loved it as all drug users do , he never learned truth to whom much is given much is required . Now drugs have destroyed his future health . Pity him born in Hollywood Hell city of drugs and sexual perversion

[@elizabethspedding1975]

The accident must have been terrible.

[@constancecherry3996]

I think he was in ac movie

[@whodoyoulovetv]

Yes it was called Pop Star.

[@kidmack3556]

He's in my favorite... second favorite, 4th Of July movie, "Spirit Of '76" (1990)

[@gingerblair2932]

Micheal Damion,Rick Schroder,&Adam Rich

[@lunalove2222]

💗

[@Purplesox]

I love Donny Osmond

[@MarkHarrison733]

He is a major homophobe.

[@sinbadandsalty3908]

Wow stay sober and try to find some peace and happiness.

[@bb-gc2tx]

had to suck being a teen idol and starting to go bald in your early 20s there was nothing you could do about that back in the early 1980s unlike today

[@ariellaabrahams]

I know he has new music, but when I try to find it online, I only get tabloid stuff on him. Shame he doesn't have a better social mgr. Btw, your background music is way too loud. It sounds like you're shouting over it

[@memeishere1]

famous young and too good looking for hos own good, bad combo .... so verry sad what happed with the accident , poor young man was paralized and also for him , imagine the guilt and i'm sure it was a push into his demons and drug addiction ... i saw the reunite and glad it happned for both of them

[@sharonhamilton4340]

He was on Wonder Woman back in the 70's. Now he does appearance on World's Dumbest

[@sharonhuthnance1100]

He lost all his beautiful hair.

[@sharonhuthnance1100]

Wow that is soo sad& soo terrible & disgusting want they did to him.

[@GiovannaAguilar]

Cast is the past tense not casted. 3:06

[@Greg-w9j]

" Sober for a while" doesn't sound convincing.

[@franjustor2423]

Leif Garrett was 18 in 1979 not 15.

[@evelynwhitman6858]

Bay city rollers

[@nannynan5893]

His sister was on My Three Sons tv show, about 5 yrs old. They must have made alot of money between them

[@Canyon2023]

I'm 62 and never heard of him, hahaha.

[@eileen1820]

Haha you must not be female then

[@nanyabyznessOG]

He did not join the Melvins - they did a cover of Smells like Teen Spirit. Lots wrong on this

[@Jwdude123]

Androgyny

[@whodoyoulovetv]

I can see that.

[@angelafishburn7654]

He was born in 1961, but "in 1979, when he was 15...", uh, sorry, math doesn't add up.

[@Salmiyaguy1]

"he was getting casted" casted? there is no such word.

[@gc4408]

South side socias ….. glad Johnny took him down….

[@mikekelp2310]

Talent ??? You have got to be kidding !!!

[@jrgnc1]

His life became a hot mess!

[@freddaniali]

He had the looks that would sell at the time... it was over for him once he got older and lost it all. I met him in person... nice guy.. but overall not a very impressive/talented person, so I could see why his career went nowhere.

[@angelikablomeke3697]

Ich will hoffen das er es mit den Drogen im Griff hat ich wünsche es ihn ❤

[@lisasuzanne8474]

To the Narrator ~ You need to try more to sound like you're NOT reading, but just talking. Its a little too robotic. Work on it. Also, words like 'singer' are not pronounced 'sinGRR'. The g is soft in ing words. You need to pronounce words correctly.

[@silviaspecR2050]

Why do Americans change so much? I used to be a fan of Japan.

[@MarceloRomero360]

The commentator is AWFUL!

[@meaowsandwhistles]

huge crush on this man even now xx

[@demonofu-tube758]

Here’s the story in 15 seconds not 12 minutes. Boy tries drugs, boy loves drugs.
