Irene Cara — What A Feeling (Flashdance)🩰 ’84 American Music Awards

Rare clip — 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 on this clip as bonus material than making it a second clip. Will do a clip of Merit Award (Michael Jackson) soon if YouTube allows. *Clip see below! 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 the American Music Awards, ABC TV USA, 1984.
