You Light Up Our Lives! Debby Boone Talks Tony Bennett, Hollywood & an Epic Career
Description
When you have a song as timeless as “You Light Up My Life,” you’ve already earned a permanent place in pop culture — but Debby Boone’s story goes far beyond one massive hit!
Debby joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon for a conversation about an extraordinary career spanning music, television, film, stage, and generations of show business history.
Next up, she heads to New York for Songbook Sundays: The Tony Bennett Centennial at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center on August 9. Debby joins Billy Stritch, Gabrielle Stravelli, and David Marino for a celebration of the music Tony Bennett made unforgettable — honoring what would have been the legendary singer’s 100th birthday.
We talk about Tony, the Great American Songbook, and what it means for Debby to continue performing this music after a career that has taken her from the top of the charts to concert stages around the country.
And yes — Debby is on Prime Video too! We talk about her life on screen, her legendary show-business family, the stories behind an incredible career, and what continues to excite her about performing today.
From “You Light Up My Life” to Tony Bennett and everything in between, Debby Boone’s career has truly been one for the books — and she’s still going!
