Rare clip (new) — Irene Cara performs 1983's iconic hit "Flashdance (What A Feeling)", live at the American Music Awards. Great song from singer, actress and dancer Irene Cara, co-written by Giorgio Moroder. Introduction by host Lionel Richie. Clip continues to Michael Jackson winning another award for Favorite Pop Album (Thriller), Rick James and the Mary Jane Girls presenting the Favorite Country Artist, and commercials. I felt it was better to include in this clip as bonus material than making it a separate clip. The movie Flashdance was released on April 15, 1983. On May 28, the song "What A Feeling" hit #1 in US, where it stayed for six weeks. On June 25, the soundtrack when to #1 and stayed for two weeks, interrupting the initial run of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Cara: "'What a feeling' was a metaphor about a dancer, how she's in control of her body when she dances and how she can be in control of her life." [From Songfacts.] On
When I ran across an Olivia Newton-John video on archive.org, I felt like I was "supposed to" make an Olivia Newton-John HQ clip series so I went with it. Probably can pick it up with another clip soon, the series is not finished yet.. The series playlist is on my YouTube channel.
ReplyDeleteSame here, saw this video and thought I "should" do a collage video built around the song in the "Making of Xanadu" video. Was fun.
