Missing/Rare 1980s R&B Music Videos I'm a massive 80s R&B fanatic, and have been on an endless quest (pretty much now for years) to find videos for certain R&B songs/hits released in the 80s, since they seem to no longer be played on TV these days (heck, BET rarely played some of these videos even DURING the latter years where they actually were still airing videos). \\
Does anybody know if there were ever actual music videos made for these songs: \\ \\ \\
Miki Howard - "Come Share My Love" \\ (I heard that there was a video that allegedly WAS on rotation on BET back in 1986 for this, but I can't seem to confirm it) \\ \\ Freddie Jackson - "Jam Tonight" (1987) \\ (I must be going crazy but I could have truly sworn that I caught a video for this during an afternoon edition of BET Jam Zone back in 1998, but it may have been something else) \\ \\ Tawatha - "Thigh Ride" (1987) \\ Chico DeBarge - "Rainy Night" (1988) \\ Rhonda Clarke - "State of Attraction" (1989) \\ Donna Allen - "Heaven on Earth" (1988) \\ El Debarge - "Someone" (1986) \\ By All Means - "I'm the One Who Loves You" (1988) \\ Glenn Jones - "Living in the Limelight" (1987) \\ Jeff Lorber - "Step By Step" (1985) \\ Joyce Sims - "(You Are My) All and All" (1986)

Even among popular artists, it wasn't always customary to shoot a video for every single released back in the 1980's, and among more obscure artists it was probably only one video released for the entire album. I remember hearing "Jam Tonight" all over R&B radio back in the day yet I don't remember seeing the video for that. He did release videos for "Nice and Slow" and "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" which were also on the same album.   | |

Would it happen to be "Midnight Special" by The System? Parts of the video ARE in black and white, FYI

My favorite song by Glenn! SO Underrated. The beat/tempo sorta reminds me of Five Star's "Let Me Be the One" | |
