    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. 🙏🥺❤️

The energy in the song was awesome. RIP - Cara's vocal talent lives forever on UA-cam.

      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. I was so sad to see her go but she's still with us within her songs.

This song was Irene’s debut single and it won the academy award for best original song in 1980! and two of her background singers here were Luther Vandross and Vicki Sue Robinson,
    RIP to them all 🙏

From her acting: Fame, Sparkle, Aaron Loves Angela, Certain Fury, Roots: The Next Generations, to her electrifying performances of the singles Fame, Flashdance - What a Feeling, to the heartfelt, On My Own, she gave us iconic moments! Being an 80's kid she was my crush, and provided so many wonderful memories in my childhood. I was truly shocked, and saddened to hear of her passing today. My condolences to her family, friend, and fellow fans. Thank you Irene for sharing your gift with the world and being an inspiration to so many. Your name, and artistry will be remembered forever!!
