Still one of my all time favourite songs, some 35 years after its release! Irene Cara and 'Fame' - an Oscar winning hit and an iconic movie, spin off TV series and remake feature film. I recall exactly where I was the first time I heard this wonderful song - so uplifting, catchy and inspirational. Irene Cara is certainly no one hit wonder either, managing to net herself an Oscar three years after this debut for 'Flashdance'. Irene also scored the 2nd hit from Fame - with the Lesley Gore penned 'Out here on my own' as well as hits in 1984 with 'The Dream' and 'Why Me'. This longer album version is still not enough 'Fame' for me, but it was the version i was most attached to for decades. until i discovered remixes. Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore are responsible for writing this unforgettable track. I hope it brings back glorious memories for everyone.
