‘Music For The Dancers’ N°326 – Vintage 80s Music Videos
52nd Street’s smooth and emotional "You're My Last Chance" captures mid-’80s sophistication, while Morris Day’s funky "The Oak Tree" radiates playful confidence. Chaka Khan’s lively "It’s My Party" blends steel pans and brass grooves, and Laura Branigan’s dramatic "Gloria" transforms into a high-energy anthem. Shalamar’s "My Girl Loves Me" layers glossy R&B, and Eddie Murphy’s "Party All the Time" serves up unabashed fun with Rick James’ funk-driven production. Wendy & Lisa’s introspective "Sideshow" exudes post-Prince artistry, while Fast Eddie’s "I Can Dance" keeps things simple yet infectious with Chicago house flair.
