Rastar was an American film company founded in 1966[1] by Hollywood producer Ray Stark (d. 2004), who was involved in most of its productions. Its first film was 1968's Funny Girl.[2]

The company was most active during the 1970s and 1980s, with movies like The Owl and the Pussycat, Murder By Death, Seems Like Old Times, and Annie. The company's most notable films include Steel Magnolias, and the Smokey and the Bandit trio of films. 1996's Harriet the Spy and 2000's Alley Cats Strike, a film made for Disney Channel, were two of its last endeavors. In 1974, Rastar was acquired by Columbia Pictures, which included Rastar Productions, Rastar Pictures, Rastar Features, and Rastar Television. Ray Stark then founded Rastar Films, the reincarnation of Rastar Pictures and it was acquired by Columbia Pictures in 1980.[3]

You're So Right For Me

by: Rooster

Well I lost my faith in fellow man
I've been living alone so long
That I dont know who I am
Why did it take so long
Why did it take so long
Ive been waiting a lifetime
For someone like you to set me free
Why did it take so long
For you to come and rescue me
Why did it take so long
Why did it take so long
Cos youre beautiful and everyone knows it
And youre everything I want you to be
I got sunshine on my face my smile shows it
Well it cant be wrong
cos youre so right for me
Youre so right for me
Yeah yeah
Youre so right for me
Well it just dont matter if its wrong or right
I didnt know something could feel so good
Ive been wasting all my time
Why did it take so long
