Irene Cara, you will be missed!
I was sad to find out that Irene Cara had passed away. She was a terrific singer.

What A Feeling
When I was down and depressed, her song Flashdance…What A Feeling always picked me right up. For instance, when I had unfortunate passings in my family plus a very bad injury to my neck, hearing her song on the radio uplifted my spirits.
In What A Feeling, her words and the background heart‑throbbing music made you feel alive after a very dark depressing time.
I remember when I was a kid, my mother and sisters would listen to What A Feeling. Silly me would imitate Jennifer Beals’ dance moves from the movie Flashdance. That came to a quick end when I knocked over a lamp in the living room.
A few moments that stayed with me:
- Her voice lifted me when life felt heavy.
- Her music carried hope during painful times.
- Her energy made dark days feel brighter.
Irene Cara passed away but her legacy lives on forever
PS: But anyway, Irene Cara’s passing is very sad, but her spirit and music will live on for generations to come.
