Bump for @92tide ----

Today we commemorate Black American ancestors' struggle for freedom, and honor their dignity and resiliency.

Personally, I would think Dec 6 would have made more sense as the date when 13A was ratified. 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations to the African American community on their freedom. No one's freedom should be taken lightly. Congrats!

A perfect homage to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. I think "Nightshift" refers to heaven.

From the comments:
This was my very first music video production. I met with The Commodores who had just broken up with Lionel Ritchie and were on the verge of losing their record label deal at Motown. We all put our heads together and they came up with the dollars to do a simple, low budget music video. My former partner and I, Janet Flora, produced the clip, and brought in a fledgling commercial director (at the time) to helm. Shot it all on a soundstage in West LA, in one day, this video went to Number One on the TV Guide MTV Top Ten Charts. We followed up with a second music video, "Animal Instinct."
