Ask him was he in the ZZ Top music video for Velcro Fly. Also how did he get picked to remix Say Say Say.

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

Ask him if there are any unreleased remixes for Madonna that he did and how much imput did Madonna have on the remixes he did for her, I know she always proved her remixes later on and would not release any she wasn't happy with.

How did he get the remix job for McCartney/Jackson 'Say Say Say'. Is he still proud of his older mixes and would he redo any given the chance? Also say thanks!

Thanks, I thought it looked like him. I already knew about Paula Abdul working on the video. She mentioned it in an interview in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
