Irene Cara was screwed over by the record company on this song. It spent 6 weeks as the number one song in America and topped the charts around the world. They paid her $183 in royalties that first year and only then she collected about $62,000 by the end of 1984. The record executive from her company went on a smear campaign and virtually ended her singing career in the 1980s. Finally a judge in the 90s awarded her 1.5 million after determining her career had been damaged by this man and she was the victim of misallocated funds

Both movies started major fashion trends as people started wearing the eclectic styles that theatre & dance kids wore. "Flashdance" was a very inspiring movie about a working class girl who dreams of being a dancer. It was Jennifer Beals' breakout role. Another great song you should check out from the movie is "Maniac" by Michael Sembello.

Flashdance, Footloose, Purple Rain, Beverly Hills Cop, Pretty In Pink, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing to name a few. What a time to grow up.

This is another movie you need to add to your movie list! This and Michael Sembello's "Maniac" were all over radio when this film was in theaters (and long after)! As for Irene, she broke out in 1980 with the title song from the hit movie (and later TV series) "Fame", which is a banger. She also had hits with "Out Here On My Own", "Why Me?" and "Breakdance". Though she faded from the spotlight after the 80s, she still in the business, performing with the band she formed in 1999, Hot Caramel. The woman in the video, the star of the film, is Jennifer Beals. A terrific actress and a phenomenal dancer.

And the finale, "Hold Your Dreams" is very inspiring and beautifully choreographed. I think its as powerful in its own way as the original Fame finale, "I Sing The Body Electric".

@@serasmile6026 I'm 47 now so I was like 3 when it came out. Thanks to Louella I'm giving an old song a chance that I remember as a kid and it's sooooo f***ing BEAUTIFUL and I'm also balling my eyes out. Reminds me of the one that got away, it WAS my fault, but 20 years later Chris and I are friends and I can't imagine life without him.

Agree 100%. That scene is imprinted in my mind ever since i saw the movie in the 80's, i was probably 8 or 9. Many have covered it, but NO ONE can do it like Irene. To me still the best moment on the movie.

Irene Cara was the bomb back in the 80's. What a feeling and Fame are her huge hits. She was in the children show Electric Compan. She also made a cameo in the movie DC Cab. The 80's was such a fun time. Oh i have suggestion for another 80's artist for your female fridays...... Sheena Easton.

I would recommend listening to Michael Sembello's Maniac from Flashdance as well. I recall seeing the movie in the theater when it was released. It had a great affect on fashion of that era of the 80s. The movie stars Chicago's own, Jennifer Beals. Irene Cara does have a great voice. Her Fame should be next.

I was 11 when this hit #1, and I remember singing, "Take your pants off... and make it happen." I didn't know the entire meaning of what I was saying. All I know is my mom wasn't too happy about it. 😅 This was the #6 song of the 80's, so it was a HUGE hit!

@DavidHayes56 Жыл бұрын

I watched a few reaction videos for Irene Cara since her death was announced last night. I find it interesting that people think that Irene is the dancer in the movie. The strange truth is that most of the dancing by the main character wasn't even done by the star of the movie and that the woman that actually did it was somewhat slighted because the movie producers wanted people to believe that the star was doing the dancing.

This is one of the best “energy build-up” songs out there. One of her other big songs, “Fame” (from the movie by the same name) has the same energy.
