Irene’s death hit me harder than I thought it would. Hearing this song, which I’ve loved since I was a kid, reminds me of what’s missing in todays music & that’s real raw talent. People who can really sing without gimmicks and tools. This is easily one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and as sad as i am that Irene has passed, I’m glad that work like this will last for generations to come. Rest In Heavenly Peace & thank you for the work that you’ve done Irene. 🙏🏽❤️

Agreed. Raw talent has been replaced by branding, image, & overproduction. Conformity is celebrated & promoted, with rare exceptions (Billie Eilish, Jack White, & Lizzo, for example). The industry became more powerful than the artistry somewhere along the line. Musicians and singers aren't required to know their instruments or trust their voices. The control room is now the "corrections room" to create the most profitable sound. Profit comes easier by investing in the formulaic manipulation of a willing stooge than it does by investing in an artist with raw talent, inexhaustible work ethic, and commitment to the creative process.

Same with me. I grew up listening to this. We sang selections from FAME when I was in the 4th grade in the early 80's. I learned how to play fame because of my Music teacher in grade school Mr Kephler. RIP to Irine Cara. Your Voice will always be a part of my music history. Such soul , such passion, . This song brings me to tears no matter what. So much passion is lost today(exceptions true) but some just shine so brightly like Irine. I love you dearly. God Bless you Irine and all involved with the production of FAME. I almost went to the NY school of the arts (They closed the school before I was able to apply but Years later I graduated from Manhattan School of Music) Everything is full circle. God Bless you all.

She didn't have a much bigger career because she didn't sell her soul. She was too smart and knew she was being cheated by the record company hence the lawsuit. Of course the drugs didn't help but they all did drugs. Unfortunately the industry is full of those like that creep in the film who told Coco to undress herself and stick her thumb in her mouth. She ended up being blacklisted. While she did have 3 top then hits, her albums didn't sell very well which didn't help matters either. It's a damn shame because of her talent.

This song has always been my favourite of hers and listening to it now, brings tears to my eyes knowing you passed away a few days ago. Felt like a part of my childhood passed away as well. Every boy's crush back in school. A rare talent with an angelic face and voice to match. Your music lives on. RIP Irene Cara.

Ms Cara's passing hit me hard. A giant of a talent in every sense of the spectrum, not to mention, she feels like somebody I grew up with, or somebody you'd be friendly with at school or on the block. Rest peacefully.

I woke up this morning to the announcement of her passing. Since then, I have gone down the rabbit hole that is Twitter. Watched her music videos, performances, & acting credits. Remembering myself as a kid singing Fame at the top of my lungs even though I was much too young to see the movie when it came out. When the 80's had very few minority representation in the movies, she was mine. RIP Irene Cara. Rest In Peace.

Fond memories of this song….. We lost Leslie Gore today who had a string of hits in the mid 60's but penned this beautiful song with her brother…In 1979 I was sitting in the auditorium of the old Haren High School on 10th Ave in NYC where we filmed part of FAME…Lunch time so I stopped to eat my lunch in this beautiful Beaux Arts Auditorium that was built in the early 1900's..75 years later, this beautiful building had been abandoned for new digs and became available for filming purposes & became the much of the school, standing in for the School of Performing Arts & sciences. The auditorium was pretty exquisite with skylights that let in natural light but during WW2 had been painted over in preparation for a possible homeland attack and now 35 years later in 1979, the paint was falling away and letting streams of light in…As I sat there alone in the auditorium that had a piano on stage for the film who walks in to rehearse ON HER OWN? Irene Cara.. So I got a little performance…not bad for a 24 year old guy , working as a set dresser having his boxed lunch having a half hour to kill…. As the light streamed in and Irene played on the piano and sang..I just sat and listened to what eventually became part of that famous soundtrack released the next year for FAME….RIP Leslie Gore..This was your party. Thanks for some great music..It WILL live forever….

What else did Michael and Leslie Gore write? This was a masterpiece. Right up there with anything Bacharach and David ever composed. And Irene Cara's beautiful voice did their composition justice.
