Irene Cara....actress, singer, dancer.....a true talent. RIP Coco
Irene Cara was the full package, absolutely gorgeous, people who worked for her said she was a lovely person to work for, and so talented, truly a gift from Heaven. Sadly she's in Heaven now, a great loss to all of us left behind.
Yes, that's her!! Our dear Coco Hernandez, forever!!
She won two awards for two songs on this movie, Fame and Out Here On My Own
Epic singer, amazing actress, amazing dancer, amazing musician.
R.I.P. Irene, we WILL forever remember your name.
Fame is actually a great movie, regardless if you’re into the performing arts or not. The screenplay was Oscar nominated, (and of course the music had a clean sweep at the Oscars - Irene Cara beating her other nominated song from the movie). You won’t be disappointed. And as I always say, it is an essential watch for anyone remotely interested in the 80s. It permeated everything for at least the first half of the 80s.
Yes, that is Irene Cara both singing the song and starring in the movie. The movie "Fame" is what made her a star. As far as your assessment of the style of the song "Fame", yes it has disco vibes. Fame was filmed in the late 70s and was released in 1980. During this period pop music was still desperately hanging onto the disco sound but was rapidly being over taken by the electronic dance music, new wave and modern/glam rock that would dominate the 80s.
As a side note look at the cast of the movie that is highlighted in this music video...but yet we are expected to believe that "diversity" in film only happened in "current year".
Please follow this up with "Out Here On My Own". Such a beautiful song deserves recognition.
Agreed. The song Fame won an Oscar, beating out Out Her On My Own. One artist with two nominations, that can't be very usual.
@@hackapump True, it was the first time in Academy Award history that two songs, sung by the same artist were up for Best Original Song.
Absolutely
I always loved that song, but since Irene passed, i can't watch the video without crying... 😥 Perhaps the best highlight in Fame for me.
Fame was also a TV show with Debbie Allan.
I loved the TV show too!😊
If I’m not mistaken, Debbie Allen did a lot of the choreography for the film and the tv show. The character of Leroy Johnson was a total heartthrob!
Leroy was amazing :) I had such a crush on him!
That's correct, Fame was an amazing show and the talent oh my goodness
Fact about Leroy!!!!!
I was in love with Leroy as a kid.. he sadly died of AIDS. RIP Gene Anthony Ray
I was a Freshman in high school in 1980 when "Fame' came out and a Senior in 1983 when "Flashdance" came out. Love both of them! RIP Irene Cara and Tina Turner-two legends from my teen years gone too soon. 😢
Yes the beautiful Irene in it. Love her! Love her voice. Yes her words will live on forever even after her passing. RIP beautiful Irene. She is in Heaven.
I loved both the movie and the tv show based off the movie! I watched them religiously. They all were such intriguing characters, especially the dancer Leroy. Yes, Irene Cara was in the movie Fame, but not the show.
I loved them too. My friend married a guy named Leroy Johnson lol
Ditto. I was a music and theater geek, and went on to get a degree in music education. I lived and breathed these!!
And bought all the albums
Debbie Allen had a tiny part in the movie Fame (but she did have that iconic one-word line). She more than made up for it by being the lead in the TV show that followed, as well as being its choreographer.
One of my favorite songs from back then was from this movie (besides the Theme song) was "I sing the Body Electric" the Whole cast gets into it!
Out here on my own - my favorite song with Irene singing at the piano!
Fame was also a tv show that stared Debbie Allen once again as the dance teacher, back in the eighties. They tried to bring the show back in the 2000's with new students, but it didn't last. Debbie acted, danced, and sang on the show, and eventually directed. The original tv show was so beloved, that it brought world tours of the fame cast performing numbers from the tv show. Some of those concerts can be found on RUclips, as well as their reunions.
ruclips.net/video/Cfb_I1JbofA/видео.html
The link is a mashup of the 6 seasons of the TV show.
All true. It also featured the acting debut of a young Janet Jackson: She played a freshman who fell in love with Leroy, unrequited if you can believe it.
@@hackapump Actually Janet had her debut on the tv show Good Times as an abused then adopted child( season 5), then the tv show Different Strokes as the love interest of the oldest orphaned brother Willis(season 3), then came Fame(season 4). She was excellent in all three roles. Good Times is available on several streaming apps, as is Different Strokes and Fame.
@@klb9142 Ah, there you go. Forgot about that. Yeah, I actually think she’s an excellent actress, and could probably have done very well in a full fledged acting career, if she had wanted to. Then again, she did fairly well in music too, so… ;)
I'm 63. The 80's seemed like a Lifetime ago!!!!!! Wow! How time flies! Another great reaction, Britt!!!!!
I cried when I heard this song on the day she passed because I realized she fulfilled the goals set down in the lyrics; a thing many wish but few do. R.I.P Irene.
In the film Irene played Coco Hernandez. and yes that was her. RIP.
16 and worked at a movie theater when this came out probably saw it 100 times. Great movie.
Brit, you should listen to Irene Cara singing Out here on my own, so you can hear her full range. Also from Fame. Loved the show more than the movie though, but I was only 9 when the movie came out 😅
I was a kid in grade school when this came out. I became a theater major for many reasons.......but many grew from this movie. My friends in college called me COCO..........certainly not always in a positive light. But I wear the badge with pride and honor.
Fame was also a television show with this as its theme song as well 2:58
After writing a book on Irene Cara's life I discovered some important trivia information about Fame. "Remember, remember, remember" was an idea that Luther Vandross came up with as they were creating the title song. It was Irene who knew all the "badass" singers since she had worked with them all. She brought in Luther and of course he knew even more singers as well. Irene's "fame" would have never happened had she not made so many friends in the music industry and brought them in to help make such powerful music. If you are not aware of songs like "We are the World" or "Do They Know it's Christmas?" then you should start your journey listening to music that was made to heal the world. And we are definitely in need of some music that can do that these days...
Irene Cara- you are remembered!
You are correct, the film was shot during the summer of 1979 and released in 1980. The song "Fame" is a perfect mix of Broadway, Disco and Rock which makes sense. Tidbit: Luther Vandross was a backing singer on this track. The "remember, remember, remember" was his idea.
Fun Fact. The guitar player on this track also played one of the most iconic Guitar solos on Steely Dan's, 'Reelin' in the years'.
I was one of the many to suggest this for your viewing pleasure. Thank you for posting!!!,,,..........keep 'em coming.........
This girl was a true TRIPLE THREAT!!! What a terrible loss😢
Great reaction to an absolute legend 🙏👑 RIP Irene ❤
Even Janet Jackson had a role in the TV-series, I loved both the movie and the TV-series.
Can I make a suggestion? Irene Cara - Out Here On My own- from the movie FAME! It's great.
Loved both the Fame movie and TV show!!
love this song. It takes me back to the early 80's. what a great time.
That is her! She has these short bangs in the movie. She was very young in these 2 early 1980s movies! Just barely out of her teens then. You'll love these movies, both preaching the lie that if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything you want. Though Fame does explore many of the pitfalls for aspiring teen, too. And their naivite, as you mention. Flashdance is more of a fairy tale presented as an extended music video, like the then new MTV and TV's Miami Vice were also: plot, character development, and dialog totally subordinated to flashy dance, glamor, coolness among the beautiful and talented.
"You've got big dreams, you want fame. Well fame costs, and right here is where you start paying; in sweat."
When I was a kid watching the TV show..Bruno was my favorite character. I love his synth playing. I'm a musician, a former Session player in Vancouver BC. I wanted to go to that school. Inspired the crap out of me and I never missed an episode. Leroy was my second favorite character because he was talented and also rebellious.
My generation. Loved this and I am grateful that it is appreciated by all ages
I love that you have an educated audience with insightful comments and you read them.
She was also an amazing actress.
that is awesome!
Fame wow...Irene Cara thanks Britt
I am an old man who loves music and dance. It surprises me whenever young people say they don't know history. No judge, we'll find this together. sending love, Thomas
This song and the TV show inspired me to get into dancing! But, the discovery of my ability to trip over nothing on a perfectly smooth floor told me that I better sit down before I hurt myself! Lol
I loved the TV series, and in particular, the cello player who, of course, was also in "Footloose".
I never saw the movie, but watched the TV show regularly. Debbie Allen played in both and her opening lines are emblazoned on my memory: "You want fame? Fame costs. And here's where you start paying. In sweat."
Yes that was her and she was absolutely tremendous she will be missed.
Flashdance was filmed on Pittsburgh. So fun. I worked downtown at the time. People dancing, filming in the streets.
okay, we have seen the head bobs, the hand movements, the chair dancing, now, come on give us a glipse of your dance style once, just once :) put it all togetherrrrrrr
Yep, that’s Irene - she played Coco, one of the many major roles in the movie.
The movie was filmed in 1979 and was released in 1980 :-)
A bit of trivia - the song that was playing when all the students were dancing in the street was Donna Summer’s "Hot Stuff." (The song "Fame" hadn’t been written yet.)
Enjoy the movie - it’s got some great characters.
Here in the Netherlands it was especially the tv show which was popular; I always watched it back then (I know for instance my sister liked the keyboard player very much).
Later I learned there was a movie , which I also liked.
All the best from the Netherlands!
Definitely if you love dancing .. Fame and Flash dance are two iconic movies. And the soundtracks are amazing!!!! ❤❤❤❤. Love your reactions!! ❤❤❤❤
Prior to the movie Fame, Irene Cara stared in the movie 'Sparkle' in 1976. It was loosely based on the story of the Supremes. It also starred Philip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice). It got pretty good reviews too. The movie was remade in 2012 with Jordin Sparks.
agree with Irene Cara - her voice is tremendously capable and fluid....
of course, Jennifer Beals has become such a great actress from Devil in a Blue Dress through the L-word (and yes I even saw her uncredited role in My Bodyguard -- LOL)
Yes, Irene Cara played Coco Hernandez in the movie. Debbie Allen originally had a bigger part in the movie, but most of it got cut out. I heard Debbie played a senior who was helping out the dance teachers with auditioning new freshmen applying to the school. The movie inspired a TV series and in that, Debbie got to play dance teacher Lydia Grant.
Disco was mostly over when Fame came out, but I've seen the song included in at least one collection of disco hits, so I guess some might call it disco. Personally, I think disco songs have louder and more dominating drum beats than Fame does, but I'm no music expert. Fame came out around 1979, so it was on the cusp of the 80s.
The scenes you see were actually from the TV series Fame, fantastic. Yes she was one the great queen of the disco scene.
Yes, every time you ask if that's her, it's her.
This is the BEST movie for anyone who's gone to performing arts school!
Fun Fact: in the movie scene where they are dancing in the street. The kids are dancing to the song "Hot Stuff" from Donna Summer, but when you see this scene in the movie it's actually supposed be the first time, they hear the song "Fame".
Definitely in my top 25 80's songs. Great reaction. I'll check you out more.
I was 13 when this movie came out and i had a huge crush on Irene.
Fame costs
And right here is where you start paying!
- Debbi Allen
Asa kid in performing arts school in the 70/80/90s this was our mantra and daily wake up tune.
Yes, she did Disco, Pop, and R&B. She was in Fame. Job well done! Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
Fame and Flashdance are two of my all time favorite movies. If you haven't seen them you are missing out on greatness.
This was a great 🍿🎥 film....love it!! You can still watch anytime, never to late sweetie!! You love this older gen music, so you'd love the older movie's as well!!
"Flashdance" is fun. "Fame" is amazing. (Be sure to watch the 80's one. (There was a remake in the 2K's)
A few actors\Characters made the transition to the TV series. (Coco was a different actor. Bruno and Leroy Johnson transitioned from movie to the TV show with the same actors.
The School in the movie the High School or Performing Arts in NYC.
Irene Cara was in quite a few movies. She was nominated (I think) for an Emmy in Roots. She won a Grammy, Emmy, and and Oscar. All for songwriting. Yet she was referred to as "Donna Summer "light".
RIP Irene Cara .We remember your name!
Filmed at La Guardia too. One of my drum teachers when I was in high school was there when it was filmed and is in the movie at the end in the orchestra.
Yes, Irene plays "Coco" in the movie. I was completely OBSESSED with that character! And the main male dancer "Leroy" was SOO yummy! 😋
that is so cool!!
Luther Vandross sang chorus on the song. You can hear him all over.
I have never seen the movie but I watched the TV 📺 program because it had great stories and cartors and music and dance and acting on acting; it was a wonderful TV 📺 show, I think it was only one season 😊 absolutely love this song 😊
Awesome talent and actor and singer also such an awesome song love how you reaction so awesome thank you so much for sharing this video with us love it Britt.👍
After the movie it was a treat to have a television series to watch. I loved that show❤❤😂
Wonderful review. Luther Vandross is on BGV and came up with the "Remember! Remember! Remember!...." that WE LOVE!
I think you would enjoy a live performance of Fame a lot. You would get to see just her and she dances also. In this video there are glimpses of Irene here and there but the focus here in this video is the movie itself.
RIP to the amazing Irene Cara. She will live on forever in her incredible music. Fame was also a tv series in the 80's. One of my top favourite songs was Starmaker. So heartfelt and compassionate - dedicated to their music teacher that passed. But SO many incredible songs from the show. I have a cassette tape of their 84 live concert - and have almost worn it out.
Another Hit song from an 80's movie was the title song for "The Never Ending Story" performed by Limahl
Fame was also a tv show which starred a great cast including Irene Cara. The entire Soundtrack to the show was great.
Many of us would love to watch your reaction of the movie "Fame" ❤
If you want to go down a Fame rabbit hole and want to see NYC from that era, the video Body Language has Debbie Allen and a flash mob alongside her in Times Square and other locations.
Yes, irene Cara is absolutely in the movie and is the singer! And Debbie Allen was fantastic in Fame - both the movie and the show. Leroy was my fave character, though! And Bruno.
thanks for letting me know!!
But Debbie Allen isn't in the film much - more in the series. She's just in a few scenes in the film :(
That's not her in Flashdance, that's Jennifer Beals. But Irene co-wrote and sang the song Flashdance, What a Feeling.
Actually its Jennifer Grey.
@@LarryGaringfrog I think you need to do some research there son.
@@Mr.56Goldtop No research dont care for any of it really but I was incorrect I was thinking of dirty dancing not flashdance.
@@LarryGaringfrog 👍🏻👍🏻
It was a school for gifted students, dancing, musicians, singers, actors....
Yeah, this was an 80s thing and speaking from experience as a graduate of satellite for junior high school performing arts in Rockland one of the requirements when you graduated was that you had to try out for the high school of performing arts in Manhattan not just in your major, but also in your something major as well and it is not easy getting into the high school of performing arts. Whether you be a dance major vocal message. drama, major, or even a music major. You have to go for multiple additions before you can get into the school if they accept you
It is surprising that a dance teacher would not be familiar with "Fame". Debbie Allen was a great dancer and choreographer. So was Gower Champion, Gene Kelly, Hermes Pan, Bambi Linn, Bob Fosse, Fred Astaire - all of whom had success on stage and in films. Fortunately, their fantastic accomplishments are preserved in many classic musical movies from the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Yes, that's her.
I watched Fame, the series. Fuck, this was so nice. I remember Leroy. Greetings from Germany
The high school of performing arts in NYC was the setting. I went there and it was huge when being made. Most of the extras were actual students
Britt talking about Debbie Allen she invited Cardi B to participate in a ballet class. It is hilarious. Regarding FAME Anthony G Evans is currently the Voices of Convent Choir Director at Convent Avenue Baptist Church NYC .He wrote the song Never Alone that is in the FAME movie also. I will send him this video. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the info! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I used to love the TV show "Fame" based on the movie. Some of the actors from the movie, including Debbie Allen, reprised their roles for the TV show. She had the famous line, "here's where you start paying...in sweat." ruclips.net/video/QV9ajjn46dY/видео.html
All younger interested parties, should also check out her live performances of the song. Not a trained dancer, she was a natural performer.
The scene you stoped on was Irene singing Out Here On My Own. I love that song, and I think it’s timeless. It applies today as much as it did then, and the piano isn’t “stale” or dated as 80s music.
+++Britt, do this as a movie reaction! You would be one of the very best at it, I'm sure.+++
The Fame movie was based on a great TV series. You love the role of Debbie Allen as the dance teacher.
Irene Cara started in the movie fame but Erica Gimpel Play her part in the TV series
Wasn't just a movie , it was a TV show as well
Fame was also a tv-serie. 6 seasons
Now that Irene Cara is dead, I say in my head while listening to this song that Irene made it to Heaven and shall live on forever eternally and that I will always remember her name!
My sister's high school. It is LaGuardia but everyone here called it 'HS of Performing Arts'.
That is her. Irene Cara
You are the best Britt!
You are correct in your speculations.
I love Irene Cara - my fav is Out Here On My Own though.
