- This was a 'live' TV performance on Solid Gold. Like many of the TV shows in the 80's, it was actually lip-synching. I remixed with stereo music and made some visual enhancements.
***The tape was originally ripped and dubbed by a friend Anthony Ochoa some years ago, and many thanks to him. - เพลง
Makes you cry when you think about how good we had it in 80’s compared to now!
Its insane.
Those where the.days yes yes yes yes.yes best says my life.am l surprise I'm still alive yes yes yes yes.
How true. Wish I could go back.
@@caseydelachante2905 yes casey so do l
Yessss! I think about this every day!
I'm bawling my eyes out...a puddle of tears at my feet watching this. My niece was about 8 yrs old when this came out, she was born with severe cerebral palsy...couldn't even tie her own shoes but when this song came on she would....just....light up and try to clap her hands and I swear her feet were dancing in her little wheel chair made us all grown-ups a blubbering mess, a happy mess mind u. She died last year and we played this at her funeral.....i can't go on....God bless u Irene Cara. What a performance.
Who died???? Irene Cara is alive and doing well(2021)
@@lajas46 My niece died.
@@brainscott8198 I'm sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace GOD BLESS your family
@@brainscott8198 I think your niece was very special to be here on this planet and hear Irene Cara herself.
I hope she has the capability to she and hear Irene Cara herself FOR REAL when she has the chance......
-----Lee
Wow, that hit me right in the feels. So sorry about your niece. Wonderful that you wrote a tribute to her here so we know about her. Have a wonderful day Brian!
I miss Solid Gold .. That was good show……. Remember watching the dancers and wanting to be one
the GOOD old days of GREAT music, and music television.
One of the most beautiful and talented singers of that generation that was not given enough credit or publicity for her tremendous talent and beauty!
Thank you for the perfect sentiment. She made it to the top but should have had a much lengthier career. We will remember her name, though.
A pretty bad dispute with her record company dragged for years prevented her from making more hits afterwards it was such a shame. Also Whitney Houston up and rising didn't help, also the Queen of pop Madonna dominated the media all at the same time right after or before this mega hit She was a sweet heart in person had kissed me on my chic. I've had pleasure to met her in many occasions. I'm so sad of her passing.
She's got it, always had it. Irene and Christine and Olivia, nobody better, loved all of them.
She was blackballed because she wanted to be paid fairly. She was a tough girl. Ye knows.
@@robertstack2144 Christine who? Which one? Mckvie?
She puts her soul into this song. Todays singers performance is soulless.
Agreed 👍
Not all of them, just the ones that are popular right now.
Autotune has wounded the music industry , mediocre singers that look good are what we get. Rather than talented singers, who sometimes would have a face that is good for radio performances.
And a beauty she is!!!!
100% agree with you.
I’m watching this on the day Irene Cara passed away it is a very sad day she was a beautiful person and a great entertainer may she rest in peace 😢
R.I.P
I remember watching this episode.....what a time to be alive in.
it's 2024, and we're still blown away by this amazing performance. RIP Irene Cara. Thank you for the legacy you've given us
Because you feel is real .... Real emotions etc.
Amen!!! It's depressing times and she gives us so much inspiration!!!
@@tedwesthaven it's her song and her performance on the stage was awesome and electrifying even today
Great song, good singer but if you want to call it a "performance" generally it wouldn't be lip synced.
Not only is this song an absolute classic; but this may be the only time that I can remember an artist out-dancing the Solid Gold Dancers!
She does the same thing here, but even better: th-cam.com/video/nduDL4KcevE/w-d-xo.html
@@abathens Whoa, I see what you mean!
came to say the song was made for Solid Gold but the choreography here was pretty light
As sad as it is that she passed away: she has left us with a song that made a difference in our lifes. Absolutely gorgeous and unreachable! She will never be forgotten.
Irene Cara was truly a musical genius. This song, for which she wrote the lyrics in 1983, is one of the all-time great music hits of the 1980s. It won several awards, including an Oscar for best original song in a film. It is one of the most influential songs of that period, and it is Miss Cara's greatest achievement. When she performs this number in stage, she not only displays her impressive singing voice, but also her great dancing skills as well. She was a true song-and -dance woman in every sense of the word. This number, along with her other accomplishments, is part of her legacy, and it will live on forever. Rest peacefully, Irene Cara, you were a giant among pop stars of your generation.
I read that she and two others wrote "What a Feeing."
@@TheDarkDresser That's correct. She co-wrote the lyrics with Keith Forsey. Cara was indeed, though, a fierce talent with a tremendously caring heart (as Peter Rice wrote above). She may not be mentioned as much as her contemporaries like Whitney, but that's mostly because she was not a person for tabloids etc. Mentioning her name in musician circles (and I am told in dance circles as well, though I'm only part of the music world) brings with it an enormous amount of respect.
And as an aside, while this performance in this video was a lip-synced, you might want to check out her performance on the MDA benefit show from 1983 to hear her do it live. The album version was a composite of three takes in the studio (Rusk Sound Studio) - the intro was from Take 3, the rest of the song was from the 1st take, with one ad-lib added from the 2nd take at the end of the song.
well said
Absolutely 💯 💔
None
Letseeeeeeeeeee, she could sing, dance, act and was FIERCLY beautiful. Irene Cara is still goin' strong too. All fire!!!!!!
RIP Irene Cara 🌹 Saddened by the news of her passing. She was so beautiful and talented. Godspeed sweet girl. My condolences to your family and friends.
This is one of the songs that made me fall in love with music as a child. RIP 🎶🎶🎶
May she rest in peace ☮️ in heaven
R.I.P. Irene Cara ! One of my favourite Singer !!!
Never forget you Irene. Rest in Peace.
I can't believe this charming lady and iconic powerful voice of the 80s is gone less than four months after Olivia Newton-John's passing. So sad... Rest in Peace, IRENE CARA ! 😭🌹
When I get to Heaven I will go to a concert where they are both performing.
Academy Awards 1983: Best original song.
Grammy Awards 1984: Best pop vocal performance, female.
Golden Globe Awards 1984: Best original song.
Thank you, Irene.
35 years later---still a great song!
It's amazing to know that I luv her and I was born n this year I feel so old I have a daughter now an just say wow life is. Crazy
3500 years from now...it'll still be a great song!
Agreed
Dougefresh i have a old rap album with rapper Dougefresh
Agreed!!!
Terribly sad that Irene Cara is gone. Losing her and Olivia Newton-John (two of my boyhood crushes) in 2022 was a double punch to the gut.
She was beautiful. Everything about the 80s was beautiful.
Irene Cara deserved much more success than she ended up getting.
She got herself blackballed in the music industry. You don't sue your record company. You may win the battle but you will lose the war.
@@jackanthony976 check this out

One of the best songs of the 80s and still a top favourite of mine. A definite floor filler, unlike some of today's "music"
Agreed
what because her agent was bad at getting her other roles? or she was it because she couldn't come up with another hit song? hmm
Nothing compares to 80’s😔
Nada se compara a los 80’s 😔
👍👏
🐶🐶
lo importante es hacer buen montaje de entrenamiento
..SOLO OTRO 80'S.....
y si
She started out as a mild-mannered child performer and grew up into a super rock-and roll queen with a voice of steel. A Supergirl among pop stars of the 1980s. There's no doubting the musical talents and accomplishments of the mighty Irene Cara. Rest peacefully, Miss Cara. You truly were a super woman.
Irene Cara the Latina singer who made this song so great gone at 63 my heart is broken I loved her songs,now we have the film and the stage musical Flashdance to keep her legacy alive.
Not Latina. Irene's father was black and her mother Irish.
I love her voice, her moves and expressions in this video. The whole video is great.A classic
She is gorgeous
@Venusjones Jones What?

Right
Irene is the hottest girl of all time
Yes. She sure is gorgeous.
What a start to the 80s and this girl created it.What a gift to humanity u gave.Thankyou in a world full of hope and dreams.
I feel great sadness over the passing of Irene Cara. Her voice was silenced far too early. An Academy Award and Grammy Award Winner, she was truly one of the great voices of the 20th Century! May she RIP.
Algum brasileiro perdido por aqui escutando essa linda canção da irene cara ? Se aparecer alguém deixa àquele like maroto ✌💖🎶
Encaixo os fones de ouvidos ai pronto, tô perdido mesmo.
euuuuu
Euuuuuuuu
Brasileiríssima ! Eu deixo 1.000 likes !
É linda canção
You will still hear this song in 100 years 👍
She is gorgeous
What a feeling it will be!
Oh God, I hope there will be some good new music by then.
I'll be dead in a 100 years for sure 😂 so I won't be listening to this in a 100 years unfortunately
Heart and soul in this, so much loved, such talent of an era that has sadly passed for the crap we now have.
What an impressive performance by a talented woman.
It's a shame that the big record companies didn't recognize your talent. Rest in peace
My mom let me go to the movies to see Flashdance for my 16th birthday.
Now, 36 years later, it seems like yesterday!!
Irene Cara is awesome.... this is how I remember her.
Rose Schwiebert
Seeing this 80s hits kind of having me drifting in time. If only we could do it again i will not change anything
Wow we are in the same generation
I was 13 haha 😂 so excited to go see this movie 🍿
This song and Out Here On My Own (Fame 1980) aged like very fine wine.
Terrible move… great music
Damn this is real deal, I'm born in year 1999 but I do definitely love this kind of music. What a feeling ✊🍻
Remember this song when it was released, and still a great song to lift your spirits
Alone I have cried...silent tears full of pride. That line helped me get through a lot of hard times. I salute you Irene Cara.
Would love to have the 80s back. Love this!
the golden voice of irene Cara, only from the '80s!!
Something about this song, her voice and performance of it always gave me chills. Maybe it’s the way it starts, the lyrics, that positive vibe…now it will always make me think of this sweet sweet angel. SIP Irene Cara and thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
R.I.P. She was an 80s ICON.
What a voice! Never get tire of listening to this song.
Still give me chills when i listen🐶🐶🐶
Lamentável o mundo perdeu uma grande atriz e cantora
descanse em paz.
Verdade tao jovem 63 anos ! Descanse em paz Irene Cara !
Desde el Cielo,serás un Destello,como Flashdance( la Danza del Destello) y Fama,desde donde estés sigue Componiendo canciones....D.E.P.
Muito triste ! Os melhores estão indo embora!
A Classic Song....A Beautiful Performance by Miss Irene Cara.... She Shines in that Outfit.... And What a Feeling....She had it All at that Time....!!!!
1980s, so lucky to have this music from my youth
Can we just acknowledge how this song has transcended the movie?
Rest in peace. One of the most moving, inspirational songs sung beautifully by a hauntingly beautiful woman.
Goodbye sweet Irene and thanks for all the great memories !You will never be forgotten !...RIP !
She was great in her time and beyond. Gotta tell you, the voice and the dancing.
Her voice is unforgettable and I always listen to her songs.
One of my favorite songs of all time! We will miss you Ms. Cara! RIH❤
R.I.P.-"IRENE CARA"... Timeless classic from a classic beauty with the voice of an angel 😇🙏😭
I remember watching this when I was 10 years old on the show Solid Gold. My mom use to yell out loud to my dad saying his girlfriend is on LMAO!!!! There was another one that had break dancers on it. Now i`m 50 and damn, makes me wish I was 10 years old again
RIP Irene, Thanks so much for the memories
RIP Irene. Thank you for beautiful memories and your talent
I wish singers today would be more like Irene now. Thank you for your talent, Irene. RIP. You inspired me at PA in the 80's.
Like 5 million stars, this song is indescribable in total excellence. It is about not to be afraid to get up off the couch and do something to make it happen. The film also is the story of reaching out for dreams.
Even if it doesnt work at least you tried. This is a hero
I never realized how pretty of a lady Irene Cara was.
I didn't either. I think she was average back then which is why no one ever really noticed her looks, in comparison to stars in her league like Sheila E, Vanity, Appolonia, Pebbles, etc. but she would be pretty today.
Tina Brown I had to google those! Pebbles is pretty, not so sure about the rest. Couldn't find many pictures, none of Appolonia. Maybe Irene Cara was not on the telly much in those days? I recall Fame and Flashdance and as a kid I had no idea who really sang them - never saw her on the telly.
She's pretty and sexy without being slutty, Irene Cara. I'm getting a 70s vibe from her, more than an 80s vibe, I must add.
Ah, Appolonia was the star of Purple Rain with Prince. She was stunning and so was Vanity.
Chad Snow you must be blind
Harry Ferris Vsccvnskelmmm
I’m a 90s kid but 80s music is one of a kind. The best era in music history! 👏🙌❤️
May i say she was the Flashdance co-star ? RIP !
I can't help but get teary eyed watching this 😢 Irene Cara was such a talented lady, very versatile & she was so beautiful ❤ Above all she was a genuine human being very down to earth. I love her & miss her so much. Rest in power, girl ❤
Still loving Irene well into 2021. Amazing artist and performer.
Irene Cara is the epitome of a "triple threat" performer. Voice of an angel, looks of a godess and her ability in dance is simply poetry in motion.
As a Hispanic, myself, I'm really proud of her.
Eine großartige und bewunderswärtige Sängerin,es ist nur schade,dass Sie nicht mehr bei uns ist!
In my opinion this is the most emblematic song of the 80s 😎
It's totally fabulous
@@prestonwilliams9531 let's go back in time
@@JavierDeldado4760 totally, I wish it was like that now everything was better, people had jobs, could afford to live, and were happy! Things aren't good anymore
@@prestonwilliams9531 Well at least we still have the good music from that era, 😉. Just be happy
@@JavierDeldado4760 yes we do ;) I love the pointer sisters too and Michael Jackson, Sylvester, all music from that time
she is feeling that song, love it
RIP Irene Cara...Love your music
Pure 80s ... by beautiful, talented, energetic Irene Cara. She's a great singer, and she dances in such a powerful, sexy way!
Such an inspirational, uplifting song. An anthem for anyone facing their fears and chasing a dream. Irene Cara's performance is passionate and soulful, conveying the determination and focus we need to break through obstacles and succeed. More than just an 80s hit, or an Oscar winning song, this is a timeless classic that fills you with joy and makes you want to dance. Thank you for the music. ❤😢
Very well said. RIP Irene.
I agree. Her art will live to the end of days
...she's a real talent & I love her voice - its one of my favorite songs of my childhood - that song touches every available human emotion yet gives powe, motivation & hope...but if you want to thank for the music, you gotta thank Gorgio Moroder (at least too) bc he made the music...but he allways knew who to chose to work with & perform his Hit-songs...after releasing a few sung by himself...
Very energizing and inspirational!
@@R-R.D.77 Moroder was a huge talent also, yes.
The real Jenny from the black has left us. Rest in peace Irene.
She's so beautiful! I know it's cliché but she's like an angel.
Well it's literally literal to me!!! She is THE angel!
A Timeless Classic
The 80's were magical so much good music coming at us! RIP Irene Cara beautiful girl!
RIP , sis.You left a legacy.. Sparkle and so much more.. Our generation was one of the greatest producers.

The Official Song of The 1980s !!! Long Live Irene Cara !!! 😇
I was 1 when this song came out, but damn it’s just pure beauty all around
I don’t know if there is a single musical composition that reminds me more of being a little boy in Los Angeles than this cut right here.
Irene Cara, without a doubt , was a one singing talent. As a fan, I will miss her, and she deserves respect for recognition and appreciation.
Alguém na quarentena curtindo esse clássico maravilhoso? ❤️🇧🇷
*este clássico
@Markitikki qual clássico do futebol nacional ou internacional?

Can't believe she's gone. Rest in Peace. One of the most wonderful and emotional voices. My childhood's soundtrack.
Irene Cara, for me, an unforgettable personality.
Irene, I hope you continue to make great music in heaven.
I can already see the angels dancing...
You shaped a generation with your songs.

RIP,Irene Cara.You sung just like an angel here on earth way before you became one in Heaven today.🕊️👼🏽🕊️❤️
Truly one of a kind. REST IN POWER QUEEN IRENE.
This tune is such a natural rush. One of those perfect cruising songs. In 1983 it was me, my brand new Z28 and Irene filling the sound space.
Wow! Beautiful, uplifting song and she was so pretty.
Feb 2020 ...This song will always be a no.1 hit for me !!!! 💕💕💕💕 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Such an incredibly beautiful lady, and an absolutely spectacular voice. She was every bit as talented or better than so many who got more attention. And to add to that, Irene was a sweetheart as well. She will be missed.
