I was 11 when I saw this on Showtime‘s Aerobicize. The director was Ron Harris.
First, some background. Cable providers at that time were aggressively pushing this newfangled CABLE to every dark corner of the US, and in my area, it was Showtime. For the first time ever we saw Rated R and softporn movies and stuff about gays and drugs on our television sets!
I was in rural Texas. So this was like a cultural tidal wave.
And this video got me. It was like it came out of another planet. I was trance fixed. I hadn’t felt this way since Lipps Inc’s Funky Town and Donna Summers’ I Feel Love.
I tried to play it on my home organ, and failed.
But this was future music, and I knew that music like this would someday define my life.
