Reportedly the first video from a "black" artist played on MTV - just not in heavy rotation or during prime time, lol. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

He wasn't the first. But, he was the first that was regularly featured and he became a mainstay of the network. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

I always say that 1983 was an amazing year for pop music.This song is another reason why the extended 12" version is excellent! | |

Those were the days when MTV still played music videos. That was the jam. Eddie Grant had a few good songs, "Walking on Sunshine", "Living on the Frontline", and the timeless club classic "Nobody's Got Time". "POOR IS THE MAN WHO'S PLEASURES DEPEND ON THE PERMISSION OF ANOTHER" Madonna

I remember the video more from Friday Night Videos. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
