    Remembering Ms Irene Cara for her brilliance, talents and artistry ✅. Loved her in the movies: Sparkle, Fame and D.C Cab. My favorite song was out here on my own. She was amazing, a gifted singer with Live and Original music. Quoting, "I am Rhythm now", and "Take your passion and make it happen." A beautiful soul, she will be missed. Rest in Peace🕊️. My condolences to her family and friends. She sang with such heart ❤️. What a feeling....I felt this😥😥😥

    before Irene Cara moved from the Bronx she attended St. Anselm (Tinton Ave). I even got to kiss her in third grade (it was only the cheek). But it was not uncommon of her to break out into song in the middle of class. I always followed her career as she was a homegirl so it's sad to see her gone.

I have not talked with family since most of her family has passed away. Her dad passed away in 1994, her mom passed away in 2010. Even her brothers and sisters have passed. There might be one left but I don't even know where to reach them. Yes, I'd love to hear some personal memories of growing up but I have already watched a documentary on her life and have already written 120 pages. I will keep my ears open of course.
