Flashdance - Irene Cara : 'What a Feeling' on Yamaha Genos 2
Показать описание
"Flashdance... What a Feeling" is a song from the 1983 film Flashdance with music by Giorgio Moroder and lyrics by Keith Forsey and the song's performer, Irene Cara. The song spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts around the world. It was awarded Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of one million copies and won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song and earned Cara the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. In 2023, the song was chosen by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry.
Moroder had been asked to score the film, and Cara and Forsey wrote most of the lyrics after they were shown the last scene, in which the main character dances at an audition for a group of judges. They felt that the dancer's ambition to succeed could act as a metaphor for achieving any dream a person has and wrote lyrics that described what it feels like when music inspires someone to dance. The song was used for that scene as well as during the opening credits.
The success of the song made it clear to Cara that she was not receiving royalties stipulated in her recording contract, and she took legal action against her label in order to be compensated. The backlash that she claims she suffered in retaliation for filing a lawsuit left her feeling shut out of the entertainment industry as she struggled to find work. Although she began receiving royalties for the recordings she made for them, the label and its owner declared bankruptcy and claimed that they were unable to pay her the $1.5 million settlement she was awarded by a Los Angeles Superior Court.
After winning the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1979 for Midnight Express, Giorgio Moroder worked with Flashdance producer Jerry Bruckheimer on the 1980 film American Gigolo, and Bruckheimer contacted Moroder in 1982 to see if he would be interested in composing the music for the new film, which told the story of Alex Owens, a young woman who dreams of becoming a ballerina and must overcome her fear of auditioning before a panel of judges. Despite his lack of interest due to other commitments, Moroder came up with some music that was "a very rough sketch". He thought it might fit the project well and sent it in before filming began. The demo was the music for what became "Flashdance... What a Feeling",but Moroder did not agree to composing the score until after seeing a video of a rough cut of the film, which completed shooting on December 30, 1982. He then delegated the writing of the lyrics to his session drummer, Keith Forsey, who started on the task by himself but later received help from Irene Cara. She described Forsey as "very personable, just a sweetheart. He was very funny. We definitely clicked."
Cara received her big break in 1980 in the role of Coco Hernandez, a student at the High School of Performing Arts, in the movie Fame. The soundtrack album included two chart hits that Cara recorded: the title song, which got as high as number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Out Here on My Own", which peaked at number 19. When the record label for the soundtrack, RSO, went out of business, one of its executives, Al Coury, convinced her to join his newly-formed Network Records, and the title track from her first album there, Anyone Can See, reached number 42 on the Hot 100 during a run of 18 weeks that began in November 1981. She was working on an album and looking for a producer in early 1983 when she was contacted by Paramount Pictures to provide lyrics for the new soundtrack song.Although Moroder had shown interest in working with her once she had success with Fame, she was reluctant about being compared to another singer he had produced, Donna Summer. "But with 'Flashdance[… What a Feeling],'" Cara explained, "we were thrown together by Paramount."
Flashdance … What a Feeling ist ein Lied von Irene Cara aus dem Jahr 1983, das von ihr, Keith Forsey und Giorgio Moroder geschrieben wurde. Es ist Bestandteil des Soundtracks zum Film Flashdance. Meistens wird das Lied schlicht "What a Feeling" genannt.
Die Veröffentlichung fand im März 1983 statt. In den Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada, Australien, Neuseeland, der Schweiz, Frankreich, Schweden und Norwegen wurde der Popsong ein Nummer-eins-Hit. 1984 gewann das Lied einen Oscar in der Kategorie „Bester Song“ und einen Golden Globe Award in der Kategorie „Bester Filmsong“, sowie einen Grammy in der Kategorie „Beste weibliche Gesangsdarbietung – Pop“ (Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female).
Das Musikvideo besteht aus Filmszenen von Flashdance.
Bei dem Song What a Feeling von DJ BoBo in Zusammenarbeit mit Irene Cara, welcher 2001 erschien, wurde der Gesangspart von Irene Cara, aus dem Originalsong von ihr neu eingesungen, als Refrain verwendet.
