    So glad you chose to do this song. It's one that is often overlooked, but it's one of her most beautiful songs.

    One of the best songs and vocal performances in film history, She is such a uniquely talented and criminally underrated performer. Irene Cara inspired a generation. Nothing but love for this and you guys!

      i wonder who it was that underrated her. fame and flashdance were huge trend setting films in the early 80s and irene was very popular.

      @@elkalabaw7665 she had a lawsuit against her agent who had supposedly stiffed her. While the lawsuit was for about 10 million she only earned about 1.5 million in the case, but she spent close to that bringing the suit. So the suit did not net her much if anything from what I've read, don't know if it's right. Then she had started to develop a Coke habit. She claims she was blacklisted by the music industry. Today with social media and other outlets it would be hard to Blacklist someone of her Talent, but back then it was fairly easy. And the industry did not like when the talent stuck up for themselves! Supposedly Norman Lear and others ruined the career of the black young man who created good times over a dispute. The guy who played Marty's dad in Back to the Future did not give permission for his movie image to be used without compensation and some people believe that's why he has been seen very little since.

      Even Irene cara's minor hits, like Why Me, The Dream, Anyone Can See, Now That It's Over, and I Can Fly (Eurodance hit) show incredible range in vocal styles and aesthetics.

    Great song written by Lesley Gore and her brother Michael. Irene used to be referred to as a junior Donna Summer, as they phrased similarly. Irene also worked with Donna's main producer Giorgio Moroder (re Flashdance).Beautiful voice.

    Maybe it's the right time to try this again. For almost 2 years I've been trying to convince reactors to check out a song/scene from the 1980 movie Fame called I Sing the Body Electric. Please, to honor the memory of this beautiful and insanely talented woman, react to it. Irene Cara was a teenager when she filmed this. It is best when watched in context because it's f*cking beautiful. Full orchestra, band, choir, soloists, dancers and a vocal duet harmony that is like nothing you've ever heard. I can say this pretty confidently because I'm old and I haven't heard another harmony so memorable before or since. Also, it's a fabulous 1980 time capsule of hair and clothes. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/tG-wl2qqD7Y/v-deo.html
    And I'm off to paste this request on other threads. RIP Irene Cara. Thank you for the wondeful gifts you shared with this world. I guess now it's on to Venus and Mars.

    I grew up during this time. Irene Cara was everything to me. I freaking love her so much. I was a little obsessed with her like I wanted to be like her when I was growing up!! I know that sounds weird to people that back in the day as a young girl, you looked up to certain artists or whatever. Anyway I freaking love Irene Cara, rest in peace queen! This is my favorite, Irene, Cara song, and one of my favorite songs of all time

  • @ZebraDazzle66
    @ZebraDazzle66 Рік тому +1

    You most definitely need to do a movie reaction to Fame. The movie is based on The School of Performing Arts in NYC (now known as Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Fame was released in 1980, the same year I started high school (but not there 😂). Considering I went to an all girls Catholic high school, I can definitely say that I learned a lot from that movie. Nothing like that was going on in my high school. But the talent in Fame, and in the School of Performing Arts for that matter, was astounding.
    The lead male dancer in the movie, Leroy, was played by the incredibly talented Gene Anthony Ray who also played the character in the tv series Fame. Sadly, he passed away in 2003 at the young age of 41. The great Debbie Allen, actress, dancer, choreographer, singer-songwriter, director and producer, also appeared in the movie and tv series.
    It was a hit movie that produced a hit tv series and many songs. You would really like it.

    Both "Fame" and this song "Out Here On My Own" from the 1980 movie musical "Fame" were nominated for an Oscar for best original song. (The title song "Fame" won.) Former 1960s teen singing star Lesley Gore (who had the No. 1 pop hit "It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To)" in 1963 cowrote this song with her brother Michael Gore (who won the Oscar for the song "Fame"). Another great song from the movie "Fame" (set in the High School for the Perfoming Arts in New York City) is "I SIng the Body Electric."

I’ve seen the movies that she was in to many times to keep track of. I still watch them now. Also I Sing The Body Electric from the movie Fame.
