I had to look up the answer as I didn't have a clue. I still don't know the guy.

Well, how old were you in 1980-1?

I looked it up as well JJ. No idea.

GOOD LIST Russ. The right answer isn't on it, but it's still a good list.

In that whole Wiki speel about that video, there were at least 20 names tossed around. Not one of them was a name I recognized, and not one of them was Christopher Cross.

"Video killed the radio star" came true. Great artists such as Christopher Cross were replaced by model-looking types such as Duran Duran. But nobody's come close to this accomplishment:

MTV killed the industry and now MTV doesn't even play rock music videos. Go figure.

Was this really an impossible question?

I know the songs, I know Christopher Cross. Don't know the video. I made no association of him to the video you speak of.

lol Michel. That's what WE keep in the junk drawer.
