Very sad to hear. She had some amazing talents, but seemed to drop out of the entertainment world after the mid-90's.

R.I.P.
Songs like "Fame" and "Flashdance... What A Feeling" will forever remain in the soundtrack of the 80's and defining of that decade's biggest movie soundtracks.

I always thought she and Michael Jackson ushered in the new era of dance/pop music in the 80s.
