Jennifer Beals
Irene Cara is best known as a singer of movie themes, though she worked as an actress since childhood. Raised in New York City, she appeared on Broadway in 1967 in the musical Maggie Flynn at age eight and can be heard on the cast album for the show The Me Nobody Knows. From the age of 16, she was turning up on television and in films, including a part in the TV mini-series Roots 2 in 1979. In 1980, she was catapulted into stardom and a singing career by her appearance in the film Fame, for which she sang the title song, an Oscar-winning Top Ten hit. Also from the film was her Top 40 hit «Out Here on My Own.» In 1983, she topped the charts with «Flashdance...What a Feelin» from the movie Flashdance, a song she co-wrote that won another Oscar, and Cara won a couple of Grammys for her contributions to the soundtrack. Her What a Feelin album included the hits «Why Me?» and «Breakdance,» and she also made the Top 40 with a third movie theme, «The Dream (Hold on to Your Dream),» from DC Cab. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
Jennifer Beals stars as Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel-mill welder by day, and bar dancer by night. Harboring dreams of a career in ballet, she is given financial support in this endeavor by her boss Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) and moral support by demanding but big-hearted instructor Hanna Long (Lilia Skala). The films signature scene is, of course, Alexs water-drenched dance audition, largely performed in long shot by her dance double Marine Jahan. Essentially an old-fashioned backstage yarn, Flashdance was given a contemporary spin by its pulsating, musical score featuring the Oscar-winning Best Song, Flashdance...What a Feeling, (music by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Keith Forsey and Irene Cara).

Edwin Starr - War (Original Video - 1969)


Original video of Edwin Starr singing his famous song: «War» [Original Music video from 1969]

Originally written under the Motown label, and first performed by The Temptations, «War» was later re-released as a single with Edwin Starr as vocals. This version is considered a more emotional version and has become the most popular protest song ever.

Lyrics:

War, huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh
War huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again yall
War, huh good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me

Oh, war, I despise
Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives

I said
War, huh good God yall
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
War whoa Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it aint nothin but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker

Oh war, is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction who wants to die

War, good God, yall
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
War, uh huh, yeah, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it aint nothin but a heartbreaker
War, its got one friend thats the undertaker

Oh, war has shattered many young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War cant give life it can only take it away, ooh

War, huh, good God yall
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it aint nothin but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker

Peace love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows theres got to be a better way

War, huh, good God yall
What is it good for?
You tell em, say it, say it, say it, say it
War, good Lord, huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it, nothing
War, it aint nothin but a heartbreaker

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
looking out for the place to go
where they play the right music, getting in the swing
you come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
night is young and the music’s high
with a bit of rock music, everything is fine
you’re in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen

You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
leave ’em burning and then you’re gone
looking out for another anyone will do
you’re in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen
