Most of Irene Cara's best work was off-the-radar. Sparkle, Roots Next Gen (Bertha Haley), The Dream, Why Me, Anyone Can see, Now That It's Over, Falling In Love, No One But You (China Cry)... THOSE are what made me a fan.
SMDH at all of the negative comments. Jeez, children. You had to live it in order to understand it. This video and song was done 3 years before MTV! Irene wrote this song! It was a mega hit and still holds its own 31 years later. FYI, there was life on the planet before Y-tube, 24hr cable, facebook, cell phones and Ipods etc. The disposable music of today will not stand the test of time.
Thanks for loving the 80s. By the way, I think Irene Cara is REALLY a special artist. She literaly begins the 80s right where the 70s leaves off, as she takes the spirit of Disco and expresses it in a new pop format, one which was growing in different forms through many different artists at that same time. Some other artists were transducing from country, love ballads, and other genres into the pop sound that was peculiar to the years from 1980-1982.
@@doingadlay Yes. I grew up in the 80s and remember watching Irene on the premiere episode of "Solid Gold" - a weekly show that counted down the top 10 pop hits with dancers and often featuring the actual singer of the hit. I was always mesmerized by her beauty, sexiness and innocence.
In my very personal opinion: It has a mean and groovy bass line, very tense that explodes on the chorus, drums are in-your-face but without being distractive, the guitar solo ROCKS, the keyboards are excellent, the background vocals are vivid, the lyrics are uplifting, Irene is AWESOME so..., I don't think it's wrong you love this song :D
Desde Puerto Rico y atraves de ustream vi a iLona en La Pista en Caracol TV cantar esta cancion que hizo famosa Irene Cara en 1980 y que a mi se me habia olvidado. El padre de Irene era puertorriqueño.Saludos!
I used to watch Fame when I was like 3 years old and ever since the song debuted I knew the song would carry me through to my own fame. That's how fresh I am, and as for the song Fame, it's really fresh too. 5 ETERNAL SUPER NOVA STARS * * * * *
This movie was our first date. 35 years later we are still married and love this song! Thanks to the artists and producer for allowing us these moments.
God that's awesome. Cara was such a damn cutie. I love her. Always have. That voice is incredible. No special sound tricks, that's her! Thanks for posting this. Favorited! :)

In the old days, producers would present their new stars by trotting them around to all the tv shows, award shows etc, typically having them perform 2 songs. I remember this happening with Donna Summer, Melba Moore, Stephanie Mills and most of all, Irene. She must have sung" Fame" and "On My Own" a million times in about 3 weeks and was outstanding and fresh every time!
