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!

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!😔😪
