Jennifer Beals
Irene Cara is best known as a singer of movie themes, though she worked as an actress since childhood. Raised in New York City, she appeared on Broadway in 1967 in the musical Maggie Flynn at age eight and can be heard on the cast album for the show The Me Nobody Knows. From the age of 16, she was turning up on television and in films, including a part in the TV mini-series Roots 2 in 1979. In 1980, she was catapulted into stardom and a singing career by her appearance in the film Fame, for which she sang the title song, an Oscar-winning Top Ten hit. Also from the film was her Top 40 hit "Out Here on My Own." In 1983, she topped the charts with "Flashdance...What a Feelin'" from the movie Flashdance, a song she co-wrote that won another Oscar, and Cara won a couple of Grammys for her contributions to the soundtrack. Her What a Feelin' album included the hits "Why Me?" and "Breakdance," and she also made the Top 40 with a third movie theme, "The Dream (Hold on to Your Dream)," from DC Cab. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
Jennifer Beals stars as Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel-mill welder by day, and bar dancer by night. Harboring dreams of a career in ballet, she is given financial support in this endeavor by her boss Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) and moral support by demanding but big-hearted instructor Hanna Long (Lilia Skala). The film's signature scene is, of course, Alex's water-drenched dance audition, largely performed in long shot by her dance double Marine Jahan. Essentially an old-fashioned backstage yarn, Flashdance was given a contemporary spin by its pulsating, musical score featuring the Oscar-winning Best Song, Flashdance...What a Feeling, (music by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Keith Forsey and Irene Cara).

R.I.P Irene Cara. Great music from an era of Great Music and you added to it. This soundtrack will live on for generations to come and sums up the 80s. What an Amazing Feeling. R.I.P
AMEN or LIKEWISE! In my opinion, the 80s WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, "THE PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"

Fly high
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I agree
A masterpiece indeed

Those were the days that music had raw talent and passion. No nudity, no violence and no synthesizer modifications. I miss the 80's terribly!😢
One of the most beutifull voices in the historia of music
She was one of the voices of my childhood. What a voice. What a talent. Will be sorely missed in the world. When was the last time you heard a voice this unique and instantly unforgettable in the charts? That's her legacy. RIP. xx

Even if this tune is overrated tripe
I can't, either
Still a shock over a year later

One of my mother's favorite musicians passed away exactly 6 months after she did.
Thank you for all the hearts that you've fulfilled with your music Irene.
May you sing in heaven now ❤️
My condolences ♡
💐
Your voice uplifted me countless times and is still doing. Irene Cara, RIP - You will be greatly missed.
Thank you, Irene. Your inspiration lives on forever.
Who listen 2024 ❤❤❤❤
🐺🎧🤟
I'm utterly devastated by Irene's passing.
A wonderful voice and immense talent.
I also understand that after the success of Flashdance, her then record label didn't treat her well which resulted in her being denied many opportunities, so you also have to praise her for fighting her way through the show business industry throughout her career.
This song is one of the most powerfully uplifting songs ever and is the kind that helps me pull through difficult times.
Thank you so much Irene for sharing your talent with us - especially for this blessing of a song - and may you rest in heaven.
Ditto John 3:16
Irene Cara was cheated out of her royalties from David Geffen, the president of her record company. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I have no words. RIP Irene Cara, you will truly missed. That woman was so talented and beautiful!!! 🙏🏾💔😔😢
No words. I thought she was perfect when I was a kid.

R.I.P IRENE.
First, when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind
All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone
Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call, call, call)
I can have it all (being's believin')
Being's believin' (take your passion)
Make it happen
(What a feeling)
What a feeling
Gracias por tu voz , tu música ocupa un lugar especial en mi corazón. 🙏🙌

Que tristeza por la noticia de su muerte, pero seguirá en nuestros recuerdos ❤ que Dios le de mucha fortaleza a la familia,
Gracias por dejarnos estas lindas canciones.
Her death

Born 3.21.82 my mom use to play all the 70s 80s music around the house now I'm doing the same miss you mom and I'll always love miss you and think of you
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤
Before Tik Tok, Irene was making little kids want to dance and mimic her moves. In my 40s and grew up being so enchanted with her beauty, her lyrics and movie. Rest in Peace.
Absolutely she was a wholesome beauty . My condolences ❤🌹🌸
I used to pretend I was her on soild gold dancing to this song. Im 44
There was a famous latin rapper named GERARDO, he said he had to go to cinema and watch the film like 4 times to mimic the dances
😊
@bleumonday.❤. You too can dance.
R.I.P Irene Cara,a sua musica vai estar presente nos nossos corações!
Bring back the 80’s!!!! 📼📹📺📻🎶
Can music be any better than this? Hurray for 2024!
R.I.P. Irene Cara 🙏. Thank you for creating music that defines my teenage years in NYC. Beautiful memories...
Stop or ..
I always used to love it when this song came on the radio, I'd turn it up as loud as I could and sing along. Thank you Irene Cara for lifting everyone's spirits and making them want to dance. You will be missed.
Im a 48 year old guy.......and I BLAST this song if it comes on the radio ( 5 x's a year)......and if anyone around my car doesn't like it, tough shit.
The NRG & Synthpop Sound of Giorgio⚡Moroder, father and pionner of EDM since 1977.
The Sound of Future.
I remember being out in the field on our ranch irrigating, & going over to my Grandpa's pickup. He had it on some KCTC easy listening station. I'd change to station to some rock station. I remember this some coming on one day, & cranking it up. It was just was one of those upbeat songs you had to crank up!!!
Rest In Peace Irene Cara….legend’s never die….
❤😂😂😂❤😂😂😮😅❤❤
Oh lord, I remember the vinyl record. What a feeling!

Continue to rest in perfect peace.

I saw Flashdance when it first appeared in the cinemas, and I remember having a slight tear in my eye during final dance audition scene followed by Jennifer Beal's character running out onto the sidewalk and into her new boyfriend's arms. Since then, whenever I hear "What A Feeling," I have fond memories. Irene Cara's voice is so catchy and up-lifting. I also realize the song's original release was nearly 40 years ago, and I was 23 years old at the time. So regardless of the 1970s and 80s icons, the fame, and the culture of the time, the current [life] passings remind me that we are not immortal. I only wish otherwise.
Un día como hoy nos dejó Irene Cara a la edad de 63 años. Gracias por tu música, sin duda la década de los 80 no sería igual sin tus grandes éxitos. Un beso hasta el cielo. Tus canciones me acompañaron en momentos difíciles y por eso te agradezco demasiado...
Rest in peace Irene cara a music legend role model and friend to all
What a fantastic song from an iconic year 1983,what is very disturbing and terrifying is that we will never have music of this calibre ever again. I shudder with the utmost dread.
40 years ago. So many friends and loved ones passed away. I feel sad. I can't go back in time
it's so frustrating that we will never have this era back and nowadays music is only made through autotunes and AI having no heart and soul at all
and my childhood from those days are gone. Nothing like the 80s again. One of the most interesting decades.Such an upbeat time!
Yes as a Gen Xer i agree it is sad that we f you look at all the best and most memorable songs tend to be ones prior to 1994. After that I don’t know what really happened. I mean there are still some pretty good songs that come out once in a while but back in the 1980’s you could just turn on the radio and there were just so many great songs nowadays that isn’t the case.
@@jimmbear3998 I think music started to deteriorate from 1985 onwards and just got progressively worse and worse to days mind numbing torturous crap.
Gracias por tu música Irene Cara, seguirás viva mientras escuchemos tus canciones.
Definitivamente así será
Gracias a Giorgio⚡Moroder...
80s music sounds so nostalgic even if you weren't born in that era.
Cause it acually was artists, they could sing and play instruments :)
Todays auto tune and only on looks that ruins the music, but it apparently sells.
You're so right 🥺😢
Exactly 😔💖
Yes 🥺🥺🥺
Damn right. I was born in 1981 so I was a kid not yet really actively listening to music throughout the decade, and still the music always "takes me back" to the "golden eighties". (Nowadays to me life is a part of music)
One of the greatest songs ever Irene never will be forgotten
My very first concert. She's the reason I love live music. And this song never, ever fails to help me get back up when the world knocks me down. RIP Irene, you beautiful star.
My first vivid memory is watching my Mother (then my age, 27) performing a solo dance infront of a huge crowd. She doesn't dance as she used to, but I plan to perform her exact dance at my future wedding.
That's a beautiful plan and feeling behind it. I wish you all the best! Cheers. :)
This song has a very strong wave of energy, something very rare.. Rest in peace, Irene..
Irene Cara, Wow, what a song & video, it’s one we’ll all have in our hearts somewhere, it had everything! 🎭🎼🎸😃
Una de las canciones más poderosas de los 80s que marco generaciones y sigue marcandolas, yo aún vi por primera vez esta pelicula el año pasado, pero me impacto esa canción desde hace mucho tiempo atras. QEPD IRENE CARA
RIP Descanse, em paz, serenamente, Irene! Sua voz e seu legado jamais serão esquecidos! Foram eternizados! RIP
Valeu ❤
Uma senhora da boa música ❤
This is just one more reason why the 80s is the BEST decade ever!
😎👍
+tmat04 Behave it was ok. But the best seriously?....Try the 50s 60s and yes even the 70s. From then on it kinda went downwards.
+stuart miley
The 80s was the best decade, handsdown, my friend!
Because??
+stuart miley The 70s yeah, and I kind of agree with you on the 60s, though mostly the mid-to-late-60s, but not with the 50s. Seriously, the 50s was almost nothing but dull and repetitive doo wop. Name ten famous artists from that decade.
The music lives on in our hearts 💌
Stunning performance by Jennifer Beals couple with this ever-tasteful song by Irene Cara
Her music was better than 99.99% of today's radio. Rest in peace, Irene Cara. You were a beautiful young soul, gone too soon. Your legacy will live forever in the minds and hearts of millions. 🌹
Definitely.
debatable
Hell Yes !!!!!!!
I SAY 150 PERCENTBETTER THAN TODAYS MUSIC
It's also better than 99.99% of the music back then😊
RIP Irene 😢 🕊🙏🌹otra voz que se va pero quedarás en nuestra memoria y recuerdos por siempre
I'm from there. I watched that movie being filmed. I'm an old man now in my mid fifties now. I have pain and ailments. And when i die my heaven is to go back to the 80s. Relive every bit of it
What emotion Irene put in this song. Hope she is in the choir of the angels.😮
1:07 - That is one of the prettiest smiles ever.
Falando aqui da Capital Vitória Estado do Espírito Santo Brasil. Aqui no Brasil, nós também enviamos as nossas "Condolências"aos Familiares dessa maravilhosa Cantora. Siga em Paz, Irene Cara. Saudades 😢😔!!
0:43 Pittsburgh and even that line, A world made of steel
Hard to believe this song and video came out 40 years ago! Time Flies Indeed.
Rest In Peace Irene Cara! Her work and music live on!
Descanse em Paz, a sua musica ficará na nossa memória.
this song really gets you up, dancing, working out and motivated and gets you pumping.
Anyone 2024?💖
I remember, back in the 90's, my girlfriend and I arguing over the phone one night until this beautiful song played on the radio in her living room. We both paused and said : "I love that song!" almost in unison and peace was established. Thank you, Irene, for every sweet memory your incredible voice brought to me in my turbulent life! Rest In Peace, you and your voice live on within all of us 😢.
In life she never got the recognition she deserved RIP IRENE
Music has an amazing ability to heal divisions...

Flashdance... What a Feeling" is a timeless and motivational anthem that encapsulates the spirit of the 1980s. Irene Cara's powerful vocals, coupled with the vibrant production, make it an uplifting and irresistible song. Its universal message of following one's dreams and never giving up resonates with people of all ages. As a result, the song remains a beloved classic and a symbol of the '80s pop culture.
Yes and I have often wondered what it was about the 80's but there really is no decade to match it. Great description - thank you!
you are very accurate in your view of this song.a timeless classic.
Said perfectly! 👍🏻
Happy Birthday to Irene Cara in Music Heaven.
She had quite a voice and such a loss to the music industry. May her legend reign supreme forever after. Rip
Legend? Yall give that name out way to much

Happy new year
I'm just reliving the songs from when I was a little kid and my big sister used to play these really loud 🥰 happy happy memories 🥰
Yaaaaaas
Happy new year yo!
Try again...if you’re listening in 2021, it means you’ve got obsessed by a fanfic called Escapade and that is constantly leading you into real good music.
So true!
Thank you. Right back at ya.
My childhood......thankful for a decade of positive uplifting music. 80s!!!!!
Thank you Irene Cara such an upbeat song, it remains evergreen❤
I believe the 80s was a really fun and pop generation. The clothing, hairstyle and music were just Wow !❤
RIP Irene Cara, great and talented singer.
I saw this movie in the theater in 1983 when I was 14 years old. I'm 52 now, this song and movie still brings tears to my eyes. The dance moves and one girl's desire to keep chasing her dreams
Pareil pour moi, bientot 50 ans et tant de nostalgie et de souvenirs à l'écoute et à la vue de cette magnifique vidéo 🥺🥰
How lucky!!! I'm from 1987, pal :(
I did too. I was in high school. I still have the movie sound track album, VHS movie tape. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I was 16 years old in 1983 when I saw the Movie Flashdance in theaters.
Happy Birthday today, Irene, even though you are no longer with us.
Irene Cara forever!
My body and mind are here but my soul is still in the 80's
I hear you, actually for 3:19s I was back in the 80's and what a great feeling!!
Music yes, but there may be more, like listeners to respond
@ jimmy goodman / Amen, my dude. Amen. The 80s were the best decade for music that has ever existed on this Earth.
I’m still stuck there also...that’s all my playlist has
Amen.
Soul, talent, and the guts to make Hollywood stand up and take notice...God bless you Irene, your legacy is a well deserved one 🙏
La música de los 70' 80' 90' y principios de 2000 no tienen comparación alguna con la de hoy NO LA TIENEN!!!!
Heroes Get Remembered, but Legends Never Die. RIP Irene Cara. I am only 23 years old but I grew up on the music from the 50’s-80’s and I have a profound respect for the oldies. My parents raised me right because the music of today lacks heart and soul.
The music of today is still good yet it is more easily forgettable than the hits from the 50s-early 1990s.
