R.I.P I  was thinking about her the other day. Fame and What a Feeling are classics. 

This woman and her legacy is extremely underrated. 
 

Ms. Cara is an Oscar winner, a Golden Globe Winner (Best Original Song) and a Multi-Grammy Award Winner. The fact that she has “FAME, Flashdance and Sparkle” to her resume (all classics) is astounding. 

 

Her peak circa. 1980-1985 was quite incredible and she was one of the few solo Black female artists to have the reputation she did in both Hollywood and the Music Industry, especially at that point where Donna Summer and Diana Ross were the formidable Black female Pop stars (Whitney Houston hasn’t debuted yet, Tina Turner was just having her comeback and Janet Jackson wouldn’t breakout for a few more years).
 

R.I.P Queen. :heart:
