I'm watching this teary eyed just after hearing the news of this beautiful lady's passing. She was 63 and passed in her Florida home. To me, she is one of the most melodic voices in music. Up there with Karen Carpenter and Yvonne Eliman. She will be missed but her music lives in eternity, just as her soul does. 😍

He perfectly portrayed the down to earth, rough and tough, uneducated, but soft-hearted and gentle taxi driver.

(November 26, 2022) We are sad to report the passing of Grammy-winning singer and actress Irene Cara at age 63, in her Miami home. Cara’s death was reported by her publicist Judith A Moore on both Twitter and Cara’s website. The New York City born Cara was the youngest of five children in a Puerto Rican family. It was her casting as Coco in the 1980 hit film, Fame, that gave her an international audience. Cara won a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the film, and the title track became her first #1 hit and the first of her two signature songs. She had another career peak in 1983 when she sang the theme song from the smash movie Flashdance (What a Feeling). It again took her to #1. (Soul Tracks)
@melodysanger1033 жыл бұрын
August 16, 1980 - 40 Years Ago Today: Irene Cara debuted at No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her single, "Out Here On My Own." This was Cara's second single from the motion picture, "Fame," and it peaked at No. 19 on November 15, 1980. It followed the title track which was a huge success and Cara's debut on the chart and peaked at No. 4. Many listeners upon hearing Cara for the first time believed they were listening to Donna Summer considering their vocals were heavily compared in Cara's heyday which only ran for a mere four years. "Out Here On My Own" was written by brother & sister, Michael Gore and Lesley Gore, the latter known for her string of 1960's hit singles. [08/16/2020]

No one stood up for her when she challenged the industry for stealing her royalties; ultimately why their blacklisting worked during the years it took her to win. Then the chief culprit declared corporate bankruptcy, and she got little or no money, but won her rights and masters, and earned some afterwards. But the momentum of her career was crippled. Now those in the industry and fellow artists mourn her loss to assuage their guilt. R.I.P. Irene, you touched our hearts, though and you’ll never be forgotten.

A Irene Cara apareceu no cenário artístico antes do tempo, início dos anos 80. Se ela tivesse surgido uns 20 anos depois, teria feito um sucesso ímpar porque ela "bota no chinelo" muitas das cantoras atuais. Acho ela um dos talentos mais subestimados do showbusiness americano!
