OUT HERE ON MY OWN (by Irene Cara: 1980 Fame movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                    RUNNING TIME: 3:11 Min.

From 1980’s Fame film soundtrack, Irene Cara performs this ballad written by Michael Gore & Lesley Gore.  Onscreen, Cara’s insecure Coco Hernandez performs the song while privately practicing on a school piano.  This track subsequently scored a 1981 Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song – though Cara’s title song won the award.

REVIEW:

In addition to her show-stopping title song, Irene Cara proves equally adept rendering this poignant ballad.  Despite its schmaltzy lyrics, the tune’s low-key melody is an ideal accompaniment to Cara’s spot-on vocals.
