Showtune Sunday: All About Irene Cara!
It seems like only yesterday that Irene Cara was CoCo Hernandez in the 1980 movie Fame.
She sang the movie’s two best known songs: the title song Fame which was a huge hit and the gorgeous ballad Out Here on My Own. Three years later she scored the biggest hit of her career with Flashdance … What a Feeling which she also co-wrote. She won the Academy Award for best original song, the Grammy for best pop vocal performance, Golden Globe Award and two American Music Awards.
Irene, who turns 53 today, had taken a long hiatus from singing an acting but last year released the album Irene Cara presents: Hot Caramel.
