Not sure if you knew this, but Irene isn't in the movie "Flashdance" she co-wrote and sang the theme song, which was a monster hit. Jennifer Beals and a dance double are in the movie. Irene did star in the film "Fame" as Coco Hernandez. She sang a few songs in the film. You should definitely check out the movie. It is at turns gritty, heartfelt, heartbreaking and inspiring. Irene also sings the moving ballad "Out Here On My Own" . Both songs were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, "Fame " won. Irene was also the original Sparkle in the film of the same name. She will be truly missed.

I had no idea this lovely soul had passed and I guess maybe this was the universe tapping on my window saying " hey, pay attention". You always cheer and root for someone born in your year cause this is your generation. I remember her on The Electric Company and when the movie Fame came out I thought she was just breath-taking. When Flash Dance was released, you knew she was the real deal. Amazing performer and person; she will be missed by all.

Thanks for this great tribute. Although Irene Cara's fame peaked in the 80s with Flashdance and Fame, she had a long career. She had rolls in the great mini series Roots and many other shows in the 70, including the PBS show The Electric Company in the early 70s. She continued to record and release music well into the 21st century and, although she was no longer a household name, those of us who grew up with her in the 70s and 80s remember her. I was saddened to hear the news of her passing. You should do a reaction to the Fame movie.

Just wanted to clarify: I think you two got the idea that the woman dancing in the video for Flashdance was Irene Cara. She was the singer on the soundtrack, but the female lead in Flashdance was Jennifer Beals, and Beals herself had body doubles for the dancing. In the final dance sequence (which is primarily what you see in that video), there is not only a dancer doubling for Beals, but also a gymnast for the leaps and even a 16-year-old boy who did the break dancing.

@@savsmiles3042 Yeah, I bugged my parents a lot to take piano and dance, but they said that costs money so no. Now I'm wondering if they just told me the show wasn't on any more so I'd stop getting ideas. 🤔

@@xzonia1 lol. I grew up in a small town so maybe the classes didn’t cost that much but I stopped going after a year or so. I think I enjoyed wearing the outfits more than actually doing the work:)

This song finally got to number 1 here in the UK in 1982 after the spin off series ' The Kids From Fame' was aired and became a huge success here

@sexysadie2901 Жыл бұрын

The Kids from Fame wasn't a spin-off, it was the name of the band some of the actors of the TV show formed. They recorded some albums and they toured.

Great review - and I'm glad to see that her talent and contribution are being recognized by so many - even young people like yourselves. She didn't have an incredible number of hits, but her two biggest hits always take me back to a happy time in my life. At the time her songs came out, they really didn't hit me as being as great as they were. But as is true for most of the good things of youth, greater appreciation comes with wisdom and age. She really was great!

This was the theme song for a movie about a performing arts school. Debbie Allen was probably the most iconic actor, she played a dance instructor. She is a famous choreographer, actress, director, etc. The rest of the cast, other than a few professors, were young up and coming talents. Irene Cara was a stand out star. She could sing, dance, and act. RIP Irene, I loved your voice! ❤❤❤

I was one of musical kids back when this came out in 1980. Most of my friends were in band or orchestra and I had just recently joined my first band outside of school. We went and saw this at the theater a few times it was so uplifting and inspirational. RIP Irene. You touched more lives than you ever knew.
