"Rockit" is a composition recorded by American jazz pianist #HerbieHancock #and produced by #BillLaswell and #MichaelBeinhorn. Hancock released it as a #single from his twenty-ninth album, #FutureShock (1983). The selection was composed by Hancock, Laswell, and Beinhorn. The track was driven by its deejay #scratch style, performed primarily by #DXT, and its music video created by #GodleyAndCreme, featuring the robotic art of #JimWhiting.

40 years ago this week, "Cry" by #GodleyAndCreme entered the #Top40 at 39. It peaked at 16 on 05 Oct 1985. They were best known for making innovative videos for other bands, but they had one big hit of their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a_PRcVYX7g #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
Godley & Creme - Cry

(swaps glasses) Ooh, that's better.

Godley and Creme with "Cry"; the video has exactly one gimmick, and they run with it all the way.

and six years later it'll be recreated by Michael Jackson. Just not as well.

Curtis Hairston had about six months as the toast of the Chicago club scene before being eclipsed by "house" music.

Treat to self… CD box set, #consequences by #godleyandcreme - I have heard and read that it’s overblown, directionless and was a commercial disaster on release… which sounds just my sort of thing…
A happy, tired dog - and me, finally listening to #consequences by #godleyandcreme for the very first time

#nowplaying Godley & Creme - Ismism (1981). The one with the hits. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #godleyandcreme

Godley and Crème's "Wedding bells". The stars are in black tie, with grey-toppered ushers behind.

The audience throw confetti, and the performance proceeds down an impromptu aisle in the audience.

More imaginative staging than anything we've seen all year.
