This Thread is dedicated to Erin Moran, the world renowned actress/singer who portrayed Joanie Cunningham in the hit 1970's/1980's Happy Days sitcom and then in her own right as a smoking hot teenage Joanie in Joanie Loves Chachi.
We start with the powerful ballad that was the theme song of Joanie Loves Chachi and one of the best power ballads in Rock! Enjoy!

Here is a longer version of this romantic song, a performance from Happy Days that actually set the stage for the spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi:
Man, I get goosebumps when I see the loving looks from the other cast members during this performance such as from Tom Bosley and Marion Ross! Ah, the wonder of it all baby, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I guess that's it for the highlights. Should I lock this thread?

This evening I put on the DVD one of my favorite HAPPY DAYS episodes from Season One, called "The Deadly Dares" -- the one where Richie and Potsie try to do initiation pranks to join The Demons. Erin was just a little kid then, and so she wasn't too intrusive to the story. This was also the early period where Fonzie was still like just a side character, before the series turned into "The Fonzie Show" !

She needs money first and she says it is for her rent. I am offering her a place to stay with me but she says she still needs money? [

Here is a fascinating, more recent, interview with Erin as she discusses the pitfalls of Hollywood: I can't get over how she has that "smokey" voice now, the voice of one who has smoked a million cigarettes. I remember her as a teen with that beautiful singing voice as demonstrated in the videos above.
