“Easy Lover”…The Making Of A Music Video, 1984 Style


“Easy Lover”…The Making Of A Music Video, 1984 Style

Here’s Phil Collins and Earth, Wind And Fire lead singer Phillip Bailey recording their 1984 duet in London. I think these are Ikegami 323 model cameras. The song was released in the US in November of ’84 and in the UK in February of ’85. “Easy Lover” won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Overall Performance in a Video in 1985 and was Grammy nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals that year too.

Where were you when this song came out? What were you doing? I was playing it on the radio in Miami. I was the original afternoon drive air personality on the country’s first HOT formated station, WHQT, Hot 105. Thanks to Juan Leal for sharing this.

    Do u remember the call letters? I think it used to be in coral gables and their power was grandfathered over the then max. They moved the tx to one Biscayne if memory is right.
