Meeeeee
I just discovered the vision of the grammys 2020. I got goosebumps. An endless classic ❤
Only you. You're the choosen one :0
Rest in peace to Irene Cara, this song is so inspiring and really always gives me hope and encouragement. Her talent will be missed RIP❤
I haven't seen this in years. They all look so YOUNG!
I ran out to get leg warmers. Sound of my youth growing up in Ireland. 🇮🇪

Amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Today is 24/3/2024. I'm from the generation of 80's. I was born on 1972 and this soap opera changed my life. I'm a dreamer from Portugal.
The dancing in the street made me cry as a little girl. Happy tears
“I’m gonna live forever” - in our minds you will…
“Baby remember my name” - definitely…
RIP Irene
That made me cry. It´s so touchy and true.
We will, we definitely will
Shame. Such a beautiful woman! She will definitely live on forever through her music. RIP Irene.
We do live forever, just not immortally. We move on ahead into eternity after we die rather than get erased.
and she DID make it to Heaven !
Ain’t gone lie: This song still gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. As a kid, i didn’t appreciate it at the time. But in my adult years, after battling chronic depression, for the 1st time i my life, I really want to live forever. RIP Irene Cara. 🌹🕊️

Today taylor swift 🤮
it still mskes me want to jump up & dance do those high kicks like I used to do but, can't anymore
@@veronicaalleyne It’s ok Veronica. U and I can kick as high as our minds can take us! Forever! ❤️
From another depression survivor... you are so correct... this song gives me goosebumps (at 51) just like it did when I was 9...
Well Said
STILL ONE OF THE BEST MUSICAL FILMS EVER! 💔❤️🔥 Irene Cara & Gene Anthony Ray - RIP.
RIP Irene Cara. "Fame" was quite ahead of its time and still relevant to this day!
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. 🙏🥺❤️
DC Cab is a cult classic.
@@Boots_on_the_ground Dirty Dancing came out in 1987. Disco was long gone
Agreed.
Equally heartbroken here, this was my childhood
Rest in peace Irene Cara, gone too soon
"Out Here on My Own" helped me through many difficult times in the 80's.
No Facebook.... No Instagram
..... No Covid... Just Love and hope.... I'AM 52 years old.... Love from FRANCE.....!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖
Me too!💕
The wonder years. The class of '68.
Yes, thank you 😘
YES from Germany 👌👍👍👍❤💖
Beh oui.... 53 ans... mes années au cnr de Marseille...😢
Difficult to watch this without shedding some tears and getting serious chills. RIP Irene Cara.
Absolutely!
That's the truth.
Masterpiece.
Asi es, que recuerdos... Irene nunca te olvidaremos...
stupid choices lead to stupid results! Rest in peace
"Irene" I will definitely remember her name *
She’s gonna live forever in our hearts ❤️❤️ Rest in peace Irene Cara, you’ve made it to heaven
She's Lighting Up The Sky - Always Remembered in name & Beautiful Spirit Thanks for the Joy & Passion Music & Dance🎶☄🔥🌈💃❤
Irene Cara was one-of-a-kind.
This song is probably in my top favorite 20 songs of all time!
Rip irene cara 🙏
I only found out about this song because of the mount rageous scene from the new Trolls movie, i'm glad I searched for the song. (Velvet and Veener slayed, ate and left no crumbs)
Yeah me too bro the song slaps in the cover AND original ❤😭✨
Me too 😂😂😂
this was one of my favourite songs before the movie, and i LOVE velvet and veneer so i’m so glad the song was used!
It's too bad so many people will miss out on this song. I highly recommend watching the original FAME movie beginning to end.
I can definitely hear the comparison
I remember seeing her in person many years ago at the nightclub the limelight in NYC ! she was wearing a yellow dress, and was very beautiful!! 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 🙏
Wow.. damn. That's amazing!
Do you remember around which year you saw her there? I went in the mid 90’s. Loved that place and loved her
"You want fame? Well fame costs. And right here's where you start paying... in sweat!" Debbie Allen
Debbie Allen
@@annegriffin4088 oh ty for the correction
Debbie Allen speaking over the guitar solo
Love it! 💯💯💯💯 She kicked it sooo real!!! Man, remember watching this as a kid along with Hill Street Blues🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks mom for letting me stay up and watch these shows! 💙💙💙💙
I love this line from actress Debbie Allen❤
RIP Irene Cara. As a dancer, your music was my childhood. FAME and Flashdance always brings me back to what I loved so much, the art of dance.
The same for me! At the age of 12 I quit ballet and wanted to start dancing like Fame...but I didn't know then how it was called... accidentally I went to a dance school and they said I could join 'jazz' class...that was it!!
I am Greek and there were no black people in Greece at the time, but our teacher was an American black man , who was my best dance teacher ever! It was like I was living inside Fame♥️!
@@evaalive978 just the fact you were inspired to create art out of movement is something special. I hope kids today will put away their screens and just move, jump, tap, strut, hop, anything to connect with the energy within.
RIP Irene Cara 🙏💙🙏 The kids dancing and bringing the streets and the hussle and bussle of the "business" and "order" of the streets to a standstill? It was everything then. It remains everything now!
Oh man, miss the 80's so much
This song is just as powerful today as it was forty-two years ago when I'd first heard it.
I agree 👍
Quelle tristesses 🙏🙏 j'ai Appris qu'elle avait était incinéré qu'elle tristesse pour c'est fans du monde entier elle n'aura pas eux une sépulture Amen 🙏🙏 cordialement 🇨🇵🙏😇🙏
I can’t believe it’s over 40 years old. It doesn’t seem possible.
80s soundtracks are untouchable. Totally epic!!!
Like Cheers.
Là musique fin 70 début 80 inoubliables 🙏🙏 indémodable et surtout restera pour Les générations futures pour toujours 🙏🙏 cordialement 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ Irène cara condoléances sincères de France 🇨🇵🇨🇵 Amen 🙏🙏👍☘️
She inspired so many people, now famous and others now gone. RIP
No cursing, no twerking, just vibes 👏🏿 Rest in Love Irene Cara
😊👍Good, clean positive energy!
R.I.P. Irene Cara. Now’s the chance to learn how to fly and light up the sky like a flame. The music industry will forever remember your name.
This song and the TV series meant the world to me when i was a kid. So many fond memories. RIP Irene.
80s RULED!
Me too!.. loved fame..
Same! 👍
At that time kids (we) didn't cry about how we were gendered or identified, we cried out of the real pain we had to endure for having the life we believed in and fought to keep it this way, RIP 80s
Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. No, the kids were still crying about how they were gendered or identified, but they were doing it alone, in the closet for fear of being expelled, fired, institutionalized, disowned, beaten, or killed for being gay, or trans, or some other kind of "other". They just put on a happy face and clothes that didn't reflect who they were and pretended to fit in.
te2rr❤
I imagine it was a bitch. I was doing a punk band but we absolutely appreciated you
I remember hearing Irene Cara when I was younger but not that much.
I later did the musical Fame! and it was when I decided to pick up dance again.
I heard the song in Trolls Band Together which made me happy to hear.
Rest in Peace Irene Cara, thank you for motivating me in my performing arts, you're songs always give me the energy.
This show was so ahead of its time. It started so many trends and copycats. Kudos to Debbie Allen for creating a wave that others rode for generations.
At the same time her sis was the most famous TV Mom and one of the tops all time now. 👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽!
This song will always etch in my memory of Irene forever. RIP Irene! You really inspired all of us.
I was an 80s teen and this song is one of the classics. This song came out when I was in 6th grade. I had always enjoyed the song since my youth. Recently, I had actually been listening to this song while preparing for 10k races this week. The upbeat tempo and Irene's vocal talent make the song great for workouts. The energy in the song was awesome. RIP - Cara's vocal talent lives forever on TH-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.
Fines de los 70' s principio de los 80' s
And the bass!!!!!
Great song great actors really miss anthony
One of my favourite songs ever. R.I.P Irene Cara you will be greatly missed. A true talent and a beautiful voice. God bless your family and friends.
Depuis son départ inattendu pour le Royaume des cieux depuis le 26 novembre où j'ai Appris là terrible nouvelle de France 🇨🇵🇨🇵 ça m'a fait toucher énormément Irène cara nous avions 10 ans D'écart et pourtant vous aviez tant d'autres années devant vous Malheureusement là providence À décidé de vous prendre avec elle Au Royaume de Dieu Amen depuis j'arrête PAS D'écouter votre chanson en Boucle reposé en paix Amen 😭🌟☘️✨✨🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🕯️❤️💓
Rest in Peace Irene Cara such a huge part of my childhood 😢
I remember my ballet recital to this song in middle school. My first and only performance and I rocked it out to this song.
My sister sent a text saying, our Sparkle has passed away. We knew immediately it was Irene Cara. Fame, Flash Dance, & Sparkle, my faves! We will REMEMBER YOUR NAME, beautiful, talented IRENE CARA! RIP 🙏 ❤
One thing with growing up in this era is you were always present. I didn’t have a cell phone, text, internet, answering machine, caller ID. There was a time I didn’t even have call waiting. You lived in the moment.
well, I did have an answering machine...I think....
Exactly ... best times of my life !!!!!!
It was wonderful. I miss just being bored as a kid
This is why I wish I can sometimes go back in time to live like this instead of so of the things we have now.
@@dragonfox2.058 I remember not having it because it wasn’t our yet. Plus later when things like vcr or answering machines did come out, they were expensive. Our first vcr was a bulky hand me down almost as big as a small tv lol
Sad to see her pass away and thought she would live to be 100 years or more; she made it to heaven too soon. This generation was just below mine; I was born in 1957 and this inspired me to stay in shape for a long time. I like to see what everyone of these young people dancing in this video look like today in 2023.
So sad to hear of her passing she was to young to die. Such a great singer too. Fly high with the angels Irene!
Rest in peace Irene. I still remember, at 17, his powerful voice singing FAME which became a hit for the young of my generation.
God bless Alan Parker. He produced, cast and directed two of the greatest musical films about young people, ever. "Fame" and the "The Commitments". RIP. Mr. Parker. Thank you for energising and inspiring the days of my youth.
Rest In Peace dear Irene Cara. She was gorgeous and talented. This song and the way she sung it was inspirational. Made you feel like you could do anything. This movie and the TV show was everything in my youth. I’m definitely watching Fame and the original Sparkle in her great memory! 😢❤
I'm from the 90s generation, but I also love this song... Hello from Azerbaijan.
I´m missing Irene Cara, above all, her voice and ideology or attitude related to the life!!! Never be a surrender and just fight!!! She is un.forgettable for me
I just got transported back to when I was a kid an had no worries in the world... God I miss that ..
I hear ya. I am mentally dancing around my childhood home in leg warmers right now! This song was so inspirational to kids. I miss things being nicer, and simpler.
Just let go of what binds you.. we all are learning this now.
Pretend. Remember you used to do that too.
are you white?
Makes you forget about the struggles of today
Growing up in the 80's was the best time. It defines who you were. The generation after that doesn't know anything about how we had it good back then. Loved the show and the music.
I'd gladly go back to the 80's at the drop of a hat. So carefree, and so much fun. Music, TV, Films, Videogames and Technology were just really starting to achieve the beginning of their potential. What a time to be alive. It makes me cry!
that’s what people said about the 50’s….and 60’s….and 90’s…
I cried a little. The song is still as inspirational as it was when I first heard it in the 80s. RIP Irene Cara. Thank you for the magic.
This song 🎶 is very Iconic and amazing. Through out the years it NEVER loose it's magic ✨ and artistry. So beautiful I❤it 80s forever 👍
Rest in peace Irene. Thank you for this great song💖
How I miss the 80s. Bring it back please.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Década impresionante.
NO
✨Our AMAZING 80s!!! ✨
How lucky we were back then!!! 🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨
The lyrics in the song and Irene Cara singing it changed me forever. Thank you and rest in peace.💕
Epic song! One of my favourite ever!
RIP Irene Cara and Gene Anthony Ray, i love you both, you live for ever! ❤
RIP Irene Cara ❤️🙏🏾 this song and show are such major parts of my 80s memories. Fell in love with her Coco character... this is genuinely a sad day to hear this news 😔
This was such a good show. Irene Care really made it great with her talented voice. Rest In Peace Irene.
I came here like so many to reminisce. This song, film & TV series was the soundtrack of my life. I'm glad I was born during this era to witness such awesome talent! Irena Cara is an icon. Her legacy will live on. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Rest in blessed peace 🕊️💖❤️🌹
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.
When the lyrics to a song can change your life! Even in sad times, both "Fame" and "What A Feeling" will pick up someone who is down. They did for me. Thank you! Rest in sweet power, Irene. My condolences to your friends and family. You will be missed, but never forgotten! "Baby, remember my name!" 💔
Check out the Dream also by Irene Cara
Well said 👏.

This song and scenes of this show made my childhood happier ❤❤❤ RIP Queen.
The song brings back so much memories this used to like feel my soul love Irene Carroll
I always watch this video periodically. I auditioned for both schools PA and M&A in the 80s got into both. The schools merged. I was in the first class where the schools merged just behind Lincoln Center. People who are accepted are beyond talented. I auditioned on the piano. I had a wonderful time that I will always remember.
I blast this song in my car. I can’t get enough of it. And wow, Irene Cara’s voice…the best
I'm blasting and dancing this song all through my house!! I'm celebrating the artistry!! You will be missed Ms. Cara!! We will remember your name!! Fly high with the angels!!
I felt the need to watch this and I am so happy that I did!🙏🏼🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
Irene Cara we remember your name and your legacy will live forever😢
We will remember her name Irene Cara, forever! She was a talent and soars with the stars now!
Forgive me for going all Toecutter here, but
Remember her when you look at the night sky.
Exactement un talent À L'état brut une vraie Légende vivantes 🙏🙏 qui rejoint le Royaume des cieux Amen 🙏🙏🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
I do... I´m remembering you and your work in this film, Irene. Requiescant in pace.
Irena Cara was definitely a one of a kind singer. All the musical talent she had, movie talent, song writing and is it just me but she looked incredibly gorgeous. The 80s were the besr of times to live through.. IRENA CARA, WHITNEY HOUSTON, MICHEAL JACKSON, THE POINTER SISTERS.😊
RIP Irene! We will miss you so much, you were such a big part of the Gen X teen years. I remember you from our neighborhood in the Bronx and was always proud of what you accomplished.
Just saw this yet again. Two days ago. Just as good as when I saw it in the 80’s!
😀
RIP to the lovely and talented singer, Irene Cara 😢 ❤😊
Rest in peace, Irene Cara. ❤🙏 I will never forget this song and of course, "What a feeling" (Flashdance) - they were my favourites. You and your talent will be missed.
R.I.P. Irene …
I’m more into rock music but this song was hard to ignore..
So Inspiring
R.I.P IRENE CARA Who doesn't know this classic, totally ICONIC song?! It will live forever.
Neil Jason and his sense of playing electric bass guitar and ice cool style right here. One of the best, and most innovative basslines ever.
Had to come here as soon I heard. Tears in my eyes as I listen. We love you, Irene, and will miss you. We definitely will remember your name.
Sleep in absolute peace, beautiful Irene Cara. Thanks for so many beautifully musical memories.
Irene Cara. Iconic. I grew up with her music, and we are the same 63. She brought a lot joy and happiness through her music. You'll be missed.
RIP Irene.
Another artist who's song influenced my early years. Everyone watched FAME when I was a kid, more the telly show than the actual movie but the theme song always stays with you. Corker of a track when it came out.
Baby, look at me
And tell me what do you see?
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I'll make you forget
The rest
I've got more in me,
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?
Remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember
Baby, hold me tight,
'Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I got
To give
Baby, I'll be tough,
Too much is not enough,
No
I can ride your heart 'til it breaks
Ooh, I got what it takes
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my...
Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember
Remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Fame
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
Fame
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Fame
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Fame
Baby, remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Fame
I'm gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
Fame
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
I Love the way this song makes me feel !!!!! I graduated in 1988. Love the 80s and 90s.
thank you Irene, for not only showing how to have courage when no one would teach me.. but to look deep within and realize I had it all along. We will continue to light up the sky together. Rest in Power Irene, we will remember your name
R.I.P Queen🙏
From Fame to Flashdance her voice is the soundtrack to my youth and instantly takes me right back anytime i hear it
It's such a honor to be a "dancer"...such a disciplin...request braveness, doesn't matter if you're famous or not...dance is a great, great pleasure...it unites us all
I lived this time...it's gone forever..sad
Yes I agree , I was just 20 going on 21 when this song and movie came out, and most of the kids in the movie were likely in their early 20's as well.
Me too. My teens were filled with this
@@lifesjourney65 But you survived - which is more than the careers of these no talents did. This was a true shit show.
No it's not. The happy feeling of it can be had NOW. 🦋💜💛
But the most important thing is that we lived it 😍
R.I.P. Irene Cara. Beautiful voice, beautiful actress, beautiful person. You'll be missed! We will remember your name.
Forever in our hearts, Irene Cara will be with us. As the song said, she will live with us forever and already has her place in the history of music and motion pictures for all time to come.
REST IN PEACE Miss CARA , She might be gone on Earth but she lives on in this song.
This movie, the show and Irene Cara made me fall in LOVE with the performing arts. I was 11 or 12 when the movie came out and a young teen by the time the show started. Loved every bit of it! From leg warmers, to Leroy, to Coco! Irene Cara was a huge influence on my childhood and I'm still so shocked and sad that she's gone. May she rest in eternal peace!
Anyone 2024
Irene Cara was such a talented, and versatile performer. 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!! R.I.P. Irene🙏🙏🙏
Well said 👏. And good knowledge of her movie. Thanks for the memories of her other good roles in her movies. 👏
And now she's going to live forever. RIP Irene Cara.
Irene Cara, grandísima cantante, que marco toda una generación y época; ella sigue con nosotros a través de su bella música, Irene Cara siempre eterna, fuerza desde México.
The biggest tv banger there ever was.
Wouldn’t be possible now as all those creative teens would be too busy looking at their phones or wanting to be content creators.
SHE WAS SO TALENTED,AND SHE WAS A CUTEY,R.I.P..GIRL.
She was an absolute Queen can't stop the tears falling hearing the 💔 news she's passed away.. such a legend who will not be forgotten ❤️😥💔
Powerful. RIP QUEEN, Bronx Finest !!!!
Rest In peace, Ms. Irene Cara..... One of the great songs of the 80's. You are a legend and will be missed...God bless.
Jusqu'au jour de la Résurrection elle reviendra encore plus Belle et joyeuse qu'elle repose en paix Amen 🙏🙏 cordialement 🇨🇵🇨🇵👍☘️🙏
Irene was quoted as saying during an interview..."I never doubted I would be a star one day. I was told that as a little girl." A true Triple Threat (dance, sing, act)!!
😭the 80s was a classic decade it’s like every thing fell into place sigh
