    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).

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

What we have 'gained' is deception. Big tech is a big lie disguised as progress. People bow their heads to a device and follow it. IDOL WORSHIPING. The world wide web ? Enter -net ? A web is a snare. And a net will catch a big fish. The slow motions . Mesmerizing . Programming. Creating dependency.
