This highly-acclaimed winner of five Emmy Awards is one of the best-loved movies ever made for television. It's the true story of a special relationship between two professional football players, Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) and Brian Piccolo (James Caan). Both star players for the Chicago Bears, Sayers and Piccolo soon became roommates and best friends. When Sayers suffers a knee injury in mid-season, it is Piccolo who prods and inspires him to work toward a complete recovery. Then fate deals a cruel blow: Piccolo is stricken with malignant cancer. The constant support and friendship of Sayers plays an important role in Piccolo's heroic fight against the disease. Also starring Shelley Fabares (TV's Coach) as Piccolo's loving wife, BRIAN'S SONG is a moving and unforgettable film. (Original Title - Brian's Song (1971)) © 1971, renewed 1999 CPT Holdings, Inc.

This is true friendship what this world really needs.I lost my dad 27 years ago to CANCER AND STOOD RIGHT BESIDE HIS BED.JUST LIKE GAL SAYER'S DID BRIAN PICCOLO. LETS DO WHAT BRIANA PICCOLO AND GAL SAYERS WOULD DO WIPE OUT CANCER IN YOUNG CHILDREN SO WE CAN HAVE A FUTURE BRIANA PICCOLO AND A GAL SAYERS.HELP FIGHT CANCER AT ST.JUDE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL . JUST Five Dollars a month think about it.

I seen it,the movie, it's tills me that 2 men black n white, can have a perfect relationship as best friends, I wish the whole world was like this two . We as humans need to love the way God wants use to,no matter on race n color,always.

This may be one of the best made for TV movies ever. The acting is excellent as is the story itself. It's based on a nonfiction book, so it is very accurate.
