Who’s listening in 2024

Rest in peace to Irene Cara, this song is so inspiring and really always gives me hope and encouragement. Her talent will be missed RIP❤

Today is 24/3/2024. I'm from the generation of 80's. I was born on 1972 and this soap opera changed my life. I'm a dreamer from Portugal.

The dancing in the street made me cry as a little girl. Happy tears

“I’m gonna live forever” - in our minds you will… “Baby remember my name” - definitely… RIP Irene

Ain’t gone lie: This song still gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. As a kid, i didn’t appreciate it at the time. But in my adult years, after battling chronic depression, for the 1st time i my life, I really want to live forever. RIP Irene Cara. 🌹🕊️ - Signed 11/26/2022

STILL ONE OF THE BEST MUSICAL FILMS EVER! 💔❤️‍🔥 Irene Cara & Gene Anthony Ray - RIP.

RIP Irene Cara. "Fame" was quite ahead of its time and still relevant to this day!

This is heartbreaking. She was one of my faves growing up. I don't know how many times I sang along to, "Out Here On My Own" on my 45. That song was on repeat as a kid. I loved Fame, first the movie, then the TV series. If you haven't seen the movie DC Cab, you should look it up. It was hilarious. A lot of great actors was in it including Ms. Irene Cara. She was a very gifted and talented woman and was wrongfully taken advantage of in the industry. Rest in Peace Ms. Cara! Your work will forever live on. 🙏🥺❤️

No Facebook.... No Instagram ..... No Covid... Just Love and hope.... I'AM 52 years old.... Love from FRANCE.....!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖

Oh man, miss the 80's so much

This song 🎶 is very Iconic and amazing. Through out the years it NEVER loose it's magic ✨ and artistry. So beautiful I❤it 80s forever 👍

80s soundtracks are untouchable. Totally epic!!!

She’s gonna live forever in our hearts ❤️❤️ Rest in peace Irene Cara, you’ve made it to heaven

Difficult to watch this without shedding some tears and getting serious chills. RIP Irene Cara.

Neil Jason and his sense of playing electric bass guitar and ice cool style right here. One of the best, and most innovative basslines ever.

This song is probably in my top favorite 20 songs of all time!

RIP Irene Cara. As a dancer, your music was my childhood. FAME and Flashdance always brings me back to what I loved so much, the art of dance.

Irena Cara was definitely a one of a kind singer. All the musical talent she had, movie talent, song writing and is it just me but she looked incredibly gorgeous. The 80s were the besr of times to live through.. IRENA CARA, WHITNEY HOUSTON, MICHEAL JACKSON, THE POINTER SISTERS.😊

This song and the TV series meant the world to me when i was a kid. So many fond memories. RIP Irene.

R.I.P. Irene Cara. Now’s the chance to learn how to fly and light up the sky like a flame. The music industry will forever remember your name.

Epic song! One of my favourite ever! RIP Irene Cara and Gene Anthony Ray, i love you both, you live for ever! ❤

I do... I´m remembering you and your work in this film, Irene. Requiescant in pace.

This song is just as powerful today as it was forty-two years ago when I'd first heard it.

This song will always etch in my memory of Irene forever. RIP Irene! You really inspired all of us.

Great song great actors really miss anthony

I always watch this video periodically. I auditioned for both schools PA and M&A in the 80s got into both. The schools merged. I was in the first class where the schools merged just behind Lincoln Center. People who are accepted are beyond talented. I auditioned on the piano. I had a wonderful time that I will always remember.

God bless Alan Parker. He produced, cast and directed two of the greatest musical films about young people, ever. "Fame" and the "The Commitments". RIP. Mr. Parker. Thank you for energising and inspiring the days of my youth.

One of my favourite songs ever. R.I.P Irene Cara you will be greatly missed. A true talent and a beautiful voice. God bless your family and friends.

I remember seeing her in person many years ago at the nightclub the limelight in NYC ! she was wearing a yellow dress, and was very beautiful!! This song was Irene’s debut single and it won the academy award for best original song in 1980! and two of her background singers here were Luther Vandross and Vicki Sue Robinson, RIP to them all 🙏

I felt the need to watch this and I am so happy that I did!🙏🏼🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

"You want fame? Well fame costs. And right here's where you start paying... in sweat!" Debbie Allen

This show was so ahead of its time. It started so many trends and copycats. Kudos to Debbie Allen for creating a wave that others rode for generations.

RIP to the lovely and talented singer, Irene Cara 😢 ❤😊

I was an 80s teen and this song is one of the classics. This song came out when I was in 6th grade. I had always enjoyed the song since my youth. Recently, I had actually been listening to this song while preparing for 10k races this week. The upbeat tempo and Irene's vocal talent make the song great for workouts. The energy in the song was awesome. RIP - Cara's vocal talent lives forever on KZfaq.

Rest in Peace Irene Cara such a huge part of my childhood 😢

Sleep in absolute peace, beautiful Irene Cara. Thanks for so many beautifully musical memories.

She inspired so many people, now famous and others now gone. RIP

The song brings back so much memories this used to like feel my soul love Irene Carroll

Had to come here as soon I heard. Tears in my eyes as I listen. We love you, Irene, and will miss you. We definitely will remember your name.

R.I.P. Irene … I’m more into rock music but this song was hard to ignore.. So Inspiring

Your name will be remembered.

I remember my ballet recital to this song in middle school. My first and only performance and I rocked it out to this song.

I have loved the music on the Fame soundtrack & I used to dream of being a choreographer, ever since I was in my high school dance team. I loved watching Debbie work, and she was a huge reason for the success of the movie, along with the fantastic songs. My name really IS Debbie Allen & I'm always happy when someone knows who Debbie Allen, the choreographer is bc I feel connected to her by the love of dance. I injured my lower back at 15 years old and it has grown to a point where I can't even work anymore. I'm turning 65 soon & I still adore Irene's voice & the movie. I bought the movie & soundtrack. I was so sad to see her go but she's still with us within her songs.

It's such a honor to be a "dancer"...such a disciplin...request braveness, doesn't matter if you're famous or not...dance is a great, great pleasure...it unites us all

Rest in peace Irene. Thank you for this great song💖

I´m missing Irene Cara, above all, her voice and ideology or attitude related to the life!!! Never be a surrender and just fight!!! She is un.forgettable for me

I remember hearing Irene Cara when I was younger but not that much. I later did the musical Fame! and it was when I decided to pick up dance again. I heard the song in Trolls Band Together which made me happy to hear. Rest in Peace Irene Cara, thank you for motivating me in my performing arts, you're songs always give me the energy.

Sad to see her pass away and thought she would live to be 100 years or more; she made it to heaven too soon. This generation was just below mine; I was born in 1957 and this inspired me to stay in shape for a long time. I like to see what everyone of these young people dancing in this video look like today in 2023.

RIP Irene Cara ❤️🙏🏾 this song and show are such major parts of my 80s memories. Fell in love with her Coco character... this is genuinely a sad day to hear this news 😔

I came here like so many to reminisce. This song, film & TV series was the soundtrack of my life. I'm glad I was born during this era to witness such awesome talent! Irena Cara is an icon. Her legacy will live on. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Rest in blessed peace 🕊️💖❤️🌹

RIP Irene Cara 🙏💙🙏 The kids dancing and bringing the streets and the hussle and bussle of the "business" and "order" of the streets to a standstill? It was everything then. It remains everything now!

This song and scenes of this show made my childhood happier ❤❤❤ RIP Queen.

At that time kids (we) didn't cry about how we were gendered or identified, we cried out of the real pain we had to endure for having the life we believed in and fought to keep it this way, RIP 80s

Rest in peace Irene. I still remember, at 17, his powerful voice singing FAME which became a hit for the young of my generation.

One thing with growing up in this era is you were always present. I didn’t have a cell phone, text, internet, answering machine, caller ID. There was a time I didn’t even have call waiting. You lived in the moment.

Rest In Peace dear Irene Cara. She was gorgeous and talented. This song and the way she sung it was inspirational. Made you feel like you could do anything. This movie and the TV show was everything in my youth. I’m definitely watching Fame and the original Sparkle in her great memory! 😢❤

I'm from the 90s generation, but I also love this song... Hello from Azerbaijan.

NYC is as much of a character in this movie as all of the other actors! and yes, props to Irene.

When the lyrics to a song can change your life! Even in sad times, both "Fame" and "What A Feeling" will pick up someone who is down. They did for me. Thank you! Rest in sweet power, Irene. My condolences to your friends and family. You will be missed, but never forgotten! "Baby, remember my name!" 💔

RIP Irene! We will miss you so much, you were such a big part of the Gen X teen years. I remember you from our neighborhood in the Bronx and was always proud of what you accomplished.

Grande Irene Cara❤

I cried a little. The song is still as inspirational as it was when I first heard it in the 80s. RIP Irene Cara. Thank you for the magic.

I Love the way this song makes me feel !!!!! I graduated in 1988. Love the 80s and 90s.

Growing up in the 80's was the best time. It defines who you were. The generation after that doesn't know anything about how we had it good back then. Loved the show and the music.

Irene Cara we remember your name and your legacy will live forever😢

Irene Cara. Iconic. I grew up with her music, and we are the same 63. She brought a lot joy and happiness through her music. You'll be missed. RIP Irene.

I blast this song in my car. I can’t get enough of it. And wow, Irene Cara’s voice…the best

How I miss the 80s. Bring it back please.

The lyrics in the song and Irene Cara singing it changed me forever. Thank you and rest in peace.💕

My sister sent a text saying, our Sparkle has passed away. We knew immediately it was Irene Cara. Fame, Flash Dance, & Sparkle, my faves! We will REMEMBER YOUR NAME, beautiful, talented IRENE CARA! RIP 🙏 ❤

And now she's going to live forever. RIP Irene Cara.

Powerful. RIP QUEEN, Bronx Finest !!!!

The irony of this is though she is no longer among the living I lay odds with anyone that she made it to heaven with all the joy she brought us in music

This was such a good show. Irene Care really made it great with her talented voice. Rest In Peace Irene.

I just got transported back to when I was a kid an had no worries in the world... God I miss that ..

Irene, you're singing in heaven with the angels! RIP Irene Cara

R.I.P IRENE CARA Who doesn't know this classic, totally ICONIC song?! It will live forever.

Baby, look at me And tell me what do you see? You ain't seen the best of me yet Give me time, I'll make you forget The rest I've got more in me, And you can set it free I can catch the moon in my hand Don't you know who I am? Remember my name Fame I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna learn how to fly high I feel it coming together People will see me and cry Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven Light up the sky like a flame Fame I'm gonna live forever Baby, remember my name Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember Baby, hold me tight, 'Cause you can make it right You can shoot me straight to the top Give me love and take all I got To give Baby, I'll be tough, Too much is not enough, No I can ride your heart 'til it breaks Ooh, I got what it takes Fame I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna learn how to fly high I feel it coming together People will see me and cry Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven Light up the sky like a flame Fame I'm gonna live forever Baby, remember my... Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember Fame I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna learn how to fly high I feel it coming together People will see me and cry Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven Light up the sky like a flame Fame I'm gonna live forever Baby, remember my name Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember Remember my name Fame I'm gonna live forever Fame I'm gonna learn how to fly high I feel it coming together Fame People will see me and cry Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven Fame Light up the sky like a flame Fame I'm gonna live forever Fame Baby, remember my name Fame I'm gonna live forever Fame I'm gonna learn how to fly high I feel it coming together Fame People will see me and cry Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven

Just saw this yet again. Two days ago. Just as good as when I saw it in the 80’s!

I will remember your name forever. R.I.P. my queen

She was an absolute Queen can't stop the tears falling hearing the 💔 news she's passed away.. such a legend who will not be forgotten ❤️😥💔

Rest in peace, Irene Cara. ❤🙏 I will never forget this song and of course, "What a feeling" (Flashdance) - they were my favourites. You and your talent will be missed.

I'm blasting and dancing this song all through my house!! I'm celebrating the artistry!! You will be missed Ms. Cara!! We will remember your name!! Fly high with the angels!!

This movie, the show and Irene Cara made me fall in LOVE with the performing arts. I was 11 or 12 when the movie came out and a young teen by the time the show started. Loved every bit of it! From leg warmers, to Leroy, to Coco! Irene Cara was a huge influence on my childhood and I'm still so shocked and sad that she's gone. May she rest in eternal peace!

SHE WAS SO TALENTED,AND SHE WAS A CUTEY,R.I.P..GIRL.

REST IN PEACE Miss CARA , She might be gone on Earth but she lives on in this song.

Love this. From a time when movies were worth a damn. And Irene Cara was the bomb, with sprinkles on top.

Irene Cara was such a talented, and versatile performer. From her acting: Fame, Sparkle, Aaron Loves Angela, Certain Fury, Roots: The Next Generations, to her electrifying performances of the singles Fame, Flashdance - What a Feeling, to the heartfelt, On My Own, she gave us iconic moments! Being an 80's kid she was my crush, and provided so many wonderful memories in my childhood. I was truly shocked, and saddened to hear of her passing today. My condolences to her family, friend, and fellow fans. Thank you Irene for sharing your gift with the world and being an inspiration to so many. Your name, and artistry will be remembered forever!! R.I.P. Irene🙏🙏🙏

Just heard she passed, 63 is way too young. RIP Irene, thanks for sharing your beautiful voice with us!

We will remember her name Irene Cara, forever! She was a talent and soars with the stars now!

R.I.P. Irene Cara. Beautiful voice, beautiful actress, beautiful person. You'll be missed! We will remember your name.

R.I.P Queen🙏 From Fame to Flashdance her voice is the soundtrack to my youth and instantly takes me right back anytime i hear it

Young generation 's dream,hope,love, fame are beautiful things .

I HEAR THIS SONG AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY, IT MAKES ME REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WHEN I WATCHED THE SERIES AND IT MADE ME HAVE SO MANY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE....

So sad to hear of her passing she was to young to die. Such a great singer too. Fly high with the angels Irene!

Anos 80, saudades demais. Irene Cara ❤ , linda, voz incrível, talento 💖 Deixou saudades e fez só sucessos.🤩❤️👍

Forever in our hearts, Irene Cara will be with us. As the song said, she will live with us forever and already has her place in the history of music and motion pictures for all time to come.

R.I.P Irene. I remember first hearing this song on the radio as a kid back in the early 80s. I remember how powerful and inspirational it was!
