Irene Cara - What A Feeling (Flashdance)🩰 '84 American Music Awards
Рет қаралды 521,703
2 жыл бұрынRare clip - Irene Cara performs 1983's iconic hit "Flashdance ...What A Feeling", live at the American Music Awards. Great song from singer, actress and dancer Irene Cara, co-written by Giorgio Moroder. Introduction by host Lionel Richie.
Clip continues to Michael Jackson winning another award for Favorite Pop Album (Thriller), Rick James and the Mary Jane Girls presenting the Favorite Country Artist, and commercials. I felt it was better to include on this clip as bonus material than making it a second clip. Will do a clip of Merit Award (Michael Jackson) soon if KZfaq allows. *Clip see below!
The movie Flashdance was released on April 15, 1983. On May 28, the song "What A Feeling" hit #1 in US, where it stayed for six weeks. On June 25, the soundtrack when to #1 and stayed for two weeks, interrupting the initial run of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Cara: "'What a feeling' was a metaphor about a dancer, how she's in control of her body when she dances and how she can be in control of her life." [from Songfacts.] On the American Music Awards, ABC TV USA, 1984. See channel or blog for more clips. 720p picture and special audio mix. Footage from VHS archive at archive.org

Irene Cara is the most accomplished artist from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.... singer, dancer, composer, musician (piano) and actress. I said Puerto Rico... maybe in USA. Some powerful people in the Media did her a lot of damage... but she won her case for royalties. RIP Irene... you were GREAT.

@@FallacyAsPraxis I remember an interview she gave to a Puerto Rican journalist in which she was asked about costumes and traditions related to our island and she insisted that since she was born and raised in NY didn't consider herself Puerto Rican, as if distancing from her roots, but it wasn't just what she said but the attitude she displayed, as if was bothered by the questioning. Maybe she was in a bad mood that time, it can happen to anyone but that's the way I remember it.

@@luishumbertovega3900 I don't agree with this. My mom went to school with Irene in the 70s and she never denied her half Puerto Rican & half cuban roots. She was quite mistreated by the music business and suffered a great deal of emotional stress and financial difficulties due to the lawsuit she endured against her record company, as her earnings and royalties were stolen from her back then in the 80s. But again, she never denied her Latin Puerto Rican roots.

My Beautiful Irene! It's January '84, the beginning of Award Season in Entertainment. Such a upbeat performance IMHO; yes she was lip syncing but she SANG it live a month later @ the Grammy Awards(Winner) and in April @ The Academy Awards(Winner). Throw in A Golden Globe win and she had the world in her hands....on the surface. By the end of 1984, bad management, a bad contract with a shady record label exec that cheated her out of millions and bad blood with a certain mogul/distributor forced her to sue in 1985. She was blacklisted and her reputation never recovered. A true performer at heart since childhood, this moment in time captures Irene near her peak at 24 going on 25 yrs. old and she was robbed of not just her earnings but of her chance to push the culture forward through performing arts and have a legacy beyond the '80s. My forever crush, I'll never forget you! Rest in Heavenly Peace Ms. Escalera BTW, who can witness a lady doing the Moonwalk (Backslide) in heels and not fall in love?💔
