I didn't know they even did a VIDEO...period!

I remember this song It's from 1981,I think.The Manhatattans were enjoying a nice comeback around this time,thanks to their huge 1980 smash hit "Shining Star".

I love the whole album, esp this song and "Just The Lonely Talking Again".

"Crazy" is produced by keyboardist John "Skip" Anderson, who was part of Lenny White's group Twennynine around 1980-1981.

John also produced for The Manhattan's album after the one with "Crazy" :






"...Producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John "Skip" Anderson is associated with rhythm and blues and soul artists such as Melba Moore, Aretha Franklin Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross.
Proficient early on in the game with the art of digital sampling,

Anderson sometimes also toils as producer while performing on synthesizer and piano, including the nostalgic '70s sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano as well as the din of '90s drum programming.
He is a skilled arranger, and has also been known to oust drummers from their thrones and take over that part of rhythmic duties himself.

Musicians may forgive him that sin, but what about collaborating on schlocky Christmas songs with Luther Vandross? "With a Christmas Heart" and "Please Come Home for Santa" were both part of the program on the Vandross This is Christmas album, but neither have quelled the popularity peal of "Jingle Bells". Anderson and Vandross asked the musical question "Are You Mad at Me?" on the 1998 I Know album, yet it would be hard to know who the song was aimed at, other than people who like a good Christmas album. I Know's ranks of collaborators were legion, including Cassandra Wilson, Cissy Houston , Little Louie Vega, and Stevie Wonder, not to mention hair stylist Roger Innocent. In 1983, Anderson and songwriting partner Steve Williams wrote the title tune as well as a coming up with a "Lovin' Touch for a Capitol production by Moore..."

A few other tracks he produced. His keyboard-touch is recognisable in some tracks :
