From LaMonte McLemore’s social media…
11/26: Happy Birthday to the inimitable Tina Turner (who turns 84-years-young, today!) And honoring the endearing, multi-award-winning Irene Cara whose untimely death was reported today, she brought joy and hope in her music, which as the lyric to her mega-hit FAME states, will “live forever.”

We are deeply saddened by the loss of the incredibly talented and lovely, Irene Cara. She contributed so much to the world of music. May she rest in peace. Sending our love and prayers to her family.
Of Special Note from Forever 5th Dimension:
Fans may recall guest Irene Cara charmingly introducing Marilyn (as host of “Solid Gold”) in the episode where Marilyn was to sing a selection from her current album, also title “Solid Gold.” Moreover, Marilyn performed “Out Here on My Own” to mark the beginning of her solo career, onstage and as seen in a YouTube clip from the Merv Griffen Show, where both Merv & Marilyn graciously acknowledge Irene’s poignant interpretation of her hit ballad from the movie “Fame.”
As a child actor, Irene Cara (as indicated on the sheet music) appeared in the memorable Broadway show, “The Me Nobody Knows.” Also spotlighted, “Light Sings” from the musical was recorded by The 5th Dimension, a fan favorite to this day.
