    Irene Cara was screwed over by the record company on this song. It spent 6 weeks as the number one song in America and topped the charts around the world. They paid her $183 in royalties that first year and only then she collected about $62,000 by the end of 1984. The record executive from her company went on a smear campaign and virtually ended her singing career in the 1980s. Finally a judge in the 90s awarded her 1.5 million after determining her career had been damaged by this man and she was the victim of misallocated funds

Both movies started major fashion trends as people started wearing the eclectic styles that theatre & dance kids wore.

    You have to love the 80's. This was one of the biggest songs of the decade. I was 12 in 1983 and remember this song pumping out on the radio during the summer of '83. The whole Flashdance Soundtrack is a winner. That's one thing I miss these days is huge soundtrack albums that spawn many hits on the radio; the 80's had so many. Flashdance, Footloose, Purple Rain, Beverly Hills Cop, Pretty In Pink, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing to name a few. What a time to grow up.

    This is another movie you need to add to your movie list! This and Michael Sembello's "Maniac" were all over radio when this film was in theaters (and long after)! As for Irene, she broke out in 1980 with the title song from the hit movie (and later TV series) "Fame", which is a banger. She also had hits with "Out Here On My Own", "Why Me?" and "Breakdance". Though she faded from the spotlight after the 80s, she still in the business, performing with the band she formed in 1999, Hot Caramel. The woman in the video, the star of the film, is Jennifer Beals. A terrific actress and a phenomenal dancer.

    Legendary Giorgio Moroder produced this song. He could do no wrong when it came to creating iconic synth based dance music. He was the creative genius behind Donna Summer’s biggest hits “I Feel Love”, “Hot Stuff”, “Bad Girls”, “MacArthur Park”, “Last Dance”, Berlin’s “No More Words”, Limahl’s “Never Ending Story”, Blondie’s “Call Me”, Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer duet “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” just to name a few.

      @@Sportsref13 I agree the newer Fame wasn't as good as the original, but it has its own bright spots. Naturi Naughton's updated versions of Fame and Out Here On My Own were both good in their own right; she brought herself into the performances rather than copying Irene, which is the way it should be. And the finale, "Hold Your Dreams" is very inspiring and beautifully choreographed. I think its as powerful in its own way as the original Fame finale, "I Sing The Body Electric". Not better, just different, and still good. But I'm biased; I'm addicted to everything Fame, both movies, the TV series, the Broadway musical, the reality show, the Fame LA series, I love 'em all!

The story behind the making of the movie and it's soundtrack is equally worth finding out about (the soundtrack almost didn't happen when Casablanca Records lost a ton of money, due to overspending and had to shut down, causing many of their clients to move to other record labels). The fans loved it; some critics (Roger Ebert) hated it. The song Flashdance won a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Song; it won a Grammy Award for Best Album for Original Score.
