Irene Cara
Musicals were a big deal back in the day and they still are even now, just how many people went to the movie theatre to go and watch La La Land? The masses just love a catchy tune and good dance numbers to mix it all together, it’s a formula that works no matter what.
If only you could still ask Irene Cara how that must have felt like to rise to fame off the success of the musical Fame. It was a massive hit back in the 1980s and a decade-defining piece of pop culture. Who could honestly say that they have never heard of the song she wrote from Flashdance?
