Rae of Light

Robin Thicke’s parents are Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring, and they (with Al Burton) wrote and sang the theme songs to ‘Facts of Life‘ and ‘Diff’rent Strokes‘!!!!!!

those two were so rockin’

Alan composed other themes – like one for ‘Wheel of Fortune‘, ‘Joker’s Wild‘, ‘Celebrity Sweepstakes‘ and for something called ‘The Wizard Of Odds‘.  dude is a wizard 4 sho

anywho, Loring was on some Hallmark channel talk show called ‘Home & Family’ to celebrate Mrs Garrett/Charlotte Rae turning 90 this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AND THE WHOLE LOVE FEST WAS THE MOST TOUCHING 2 HOURS I’VE SPENT IN AWHILE (that didn’t include touching my wife or myself)
