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. 🙏🥺❤️

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.

[@evaalive978]

The same for me! At the age of 12 I quit ballet and wanted to start dancing like Fame...but I didn't know then how it was called... accidentally I went to a dance school and they said I could join 'jazz' class...that was it!! I am Greek and there were no black people in Greece at the time, but our teacher was an American black man , who was my best dance teacher ever! It was like I was living inside Fame♥️!

[@manuelsteele8030]

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 KZbin.

[@JustCurious...]

As was I, and the movie resonated with me too. I was a bit young to grasp nuance but I did understand the obvious themes despite not yet having lived (most of ) them personally (yet). My eyes and head was filled with the romance of it all and I too, was made for "greatness!" Well, not so much... :-) but I'd love to see the movie again as if I recall correctly all parts were beautifully performed and the issues def still relevant. Very sad abt Irene Cara.

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.

[@keithanderson8824]

Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. No, the kids were still crying about how they were gendered or identified, but they were doing it alone, in the closet for fear of being expelled, fired, institutionalized, disowned, beaten, or killed for being gay, or trans, or some other kind of "other". They just put on a happy face and clothes that didn't reflect who they were and pretended to fit in.

Unique from any other?! You are just highlighting the ignorance of the U.S! Do some homework. Find out REAL history from around THE GLOBE! The TV series was great. I agree. But seek out a wider perspective on culture and history and you miiiight just become a bigger better person!

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.

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

The record company stole from Irene Cara! Then she sued them, and to get back at her. Cara was black balled, and they never paid her. They stole from her! RIP, Irene Cara!

Fai buon viaggio, Irene. Grazie dei sogni e saluta tanto Gene Anthony Ray 😢

[@jamiefoyers2800]

Another artist who's song influenced my early years. Everyone watched FAME when I was a kid, more the telly show than the actual movie but the theme song always stays with you. Corker of a track when it came out.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Rest in peace, Irene Cara, you were the voice of a generation. This and What a Feeling are two of the great songs of the early 1980s, and they're still great to listen to 40 years later.

[@digoldst100]

Irene was quoted as saying during an interview..."I never doubted I would be a star one day. I was told that as a little girl." A true Triple Threat (dance, sing, act)!!

Brought tears to me eyes. Amazing tribute to an incredible tv series

Irene Cara and Lee Curreri are both Facebook friends of mine & it makes my day whenever i get a like/love from them. I will die a fan of both.

[@karenlnsy]

I had Lee Curreri on mine for years, has he gone off the radar?

[@majorpremise]

What the industry did to Irene Cara wasn't right...I don't blame her for being resentful

[@karenlnsy]

@@majorpremise what makes you think she is?

[@TheMusicalEmpress]

It was impossible to feel down while listening to or singing this! 🙏🏽🕊😢
