Good morning friends.
Sammy & Family is thrilled to have the one and only Debbie Gibson featured on “The Good News Channel” — We have been major fans of Debbie since the beginning of her career in the mid 1980’s all the way through her professional life now in 2015. We are “DebHeads” and nothing is going to change that. The world is a better place with Debbie Gibson in it. She been making people happy from continent to continent for 30 years now. Wow.
Two sensations from the 80’s, Debbie Gibson and the Rubix Cube. The only difference is Debbie Gibson is also a sensation in the new millennium. The Rubix cube is still dated back in the 1980’s. And full disclosure, still impossible for many to solve. Photo Credit: Troy Smith Photography
As I’ve told many of our friends from around the world, I originally grew up in Long Island, New York. To me, Long Island only had 4 things going on. We had Billy Joel, the Piano man, Debbie Gibson, The Piano girl, the Miracle Mile for shopping and The Roosevelt Mall for more shopping. That is how I saw Long Island. And as we all remember Debbie was a major fan of Billy Joel, and he was a big part of what inspired her career from the very beginning. As a matter of fact, she was even brought on stage once by the Piano Man himself to duet and play keys on “Keeping The Faith” at the Nassau Coliseum.

Let me take it a step further. Every guy on Long Island, whether you knew Debbie or not, had a crush on her. You see with me, my crush never left. I still have it even as a married man. A quick funny story, right before my wife and I got married on June 15th, 2013, I told my wife to be at that time, there is one stipulation to this marriage. I told her about my crush on Debbie and its non negotiable. The crush goes to the grave with me. My wife to be said to me, “that is a very strange thing to say to someone right before you’re going to marry them” — And I knew it was, but I’m a DebHead, and DebHeads hold their ground. So Vanessa, my wife to be said, “Scott it’s kind of funny you mentioned that because I too have a stipulation to this marriage. She said “I have a non negotiable crush on Leonardo Dicaprio and I insist we see every movie that he comes out with, as well as watch him on any movie playing on cable, on any given night.“
