Reply to comment by autotelica in Irene Cara, '80s pop star behind 'Fame' and 'Flashdance' theme songs, dies at 63 | CNN by Clem_Doore

It's not a mistake. Cara sang and co-wrote the lyrics for "What a Feeling" from Flashdance, for which she won several awards. If you play the clip in the linked article, it's the music video for the song (which is why Beals is pictured in the video still.)

I appreciate the explanation. But I don't think it is too much to ask for them to show a photo of Irene Cara at the top of an article announcing her death. Maybe I am just an old fogey though.
