80's tune of the day

The tune of the day for me is Jody Watley's, "Still A Thrill". What a great song to dance to. Does anyone remembe that video that starts out in Black and white but the last 10 seconds of it is in color?

Anyway, I love the instrumentation of that song. You can't help but to move. Anyone out there feeling me on this?
I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin.

I love that song and the video was hot! Jody watley was a diva of the 80's! Kind of like a black Madonna but she was never quite as succesful. I loved the way she dressed and I used to rock the huge hoop earings because of her.

When was that?

And I love Jody Watley. This is probably my favorite song of hers. Very Prince-like.

I read that this song was originally intended for Grace Jones. That would have been HOT, especially with the same production. Prince should have worked with Grace. She was sexier than all of his proteges combined.

OMG yes I do! I remember that song from back in the day. I was either in 2nd or 3rd grade and I really liked that song a lot. I liked Jody Watley period. She made some really great funky dance songs like Real Love and Still Looking For a New Love. Does she have a Greatest Hits set out? I'll buy that fo sho!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Yes, thats' it, that's it. Wasn't that a great video? I always wondered where it was filmed. I mean I know it's in London but what theater is it?

Thanks for that Chico1

Though it would be nice to get an updated greatest hits along with a complete video collection. pout And I have that issue of Playboy as well. innocent
Jody is just as beautiful in person too. She was very sincere and took time out for her fans. She signed 2 of my cds as well One when she was on stage lol and the 2nd after the show. woot!
