After her husband Herschel Palmovitz died in a skiing accident in 1979, Gloria Chesterfield released 'Candle In Your Ass' (1980) as a tribute to the actor's memory. Chesterfield had stayed married to Palmovitz after he came out as gay in 1978, remaining his closest companion until his death. The single raised over $2 million for victims of drug-induced Alpine injuries.   

Critics said she really milked it.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Guess I'll never forget
The day that we met
It was New York in '63
You'd just had your hair done
At the same place where I'd gone
And right then I knew
you were the one for me.

[Verse 2]
And when we met with your friends
Like Pablo and Andre at Ben’s
I could always see the fire
in your eyes
You were the life of the party
Telling jokes that were a little naughty
Always hanging out like 
one of the guys.
(just one of the guys)

‘cause

[Chorus]
Because it seemed you lived your life
Like you had a candle
A candle in your ass
(A candle in your ass)
Yes it seemed you lived your life
Like you had a candle in the ass.
(A candle in the ass)

[Verse 3]
But I would never leave you
And not because of the money
Not even because of the five kids
You knocked into my tummy
But because of what you always
seemed to me
seemed to me

[Chorus]
Because it seemed you lived your life
Like you had a candle
A candle in your ass

When you died on the slopes
Off your tits on mushrooms and coke
I didn’t think
I didn’t think I could cope
No I didn’t think I could cope
No I didn’t think I could cope

Because it seemed you lived your life
Like you had a candle in your ass.
Because it seemed you lived your life
Like you had a candle in your ass.

A candle in your ass.
