Oscar, Golden Globe and two-time Grammy winning singer-actress Irene Cara, has died at age 63.

Oscar, Golden Globe and two-time Grammy winning singer-actress Irene Cara, who starred and sang the title cut from the 1980 hit movie"Fame" and then belted out the era-defining hit"Flashdance ... What a Feeling" from 1983's"Flashdance," has died. She was 63.

During her career, Cara had three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including"Breakdance,""Out Here On My Own,""Fame" and"Flashdance ... What A Feeling," which spent six weeks at No. 1. She was behind some of the most joyful, high-energy pop anthems of the early '80s. "How bright our spirits go shooting out into space, depends on how much we contributed to the earthly brilliance of this world. And I mean to be a major contributor!" she says in the movie.

Three years later, she and the songwriting team of"Flashdance" — music by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Keith Forsey and Cara — was accepting the Oscar for best original song for"Flashdance ... What a Feeling."
