Rick James "MARY JANE" 🔥 1979 New Year's Rockin' Eve + Commercials

Rare clip (NEW) — Rick James performs classic, funky "Mary Jane" Live on the 1979 New Year's Rockin Eve, ABC TV USA, Dec 31, 1978 - January 1, 1979, Los Angeles location. This is a really special live version of the song with a locked-in beat and mix.

PLUS full vintage commercial break! And 2nd "bonus" commercial break from a segment we skipped. Songfacts confirms, "Rick James' song 'Mary Jane' is not an ode to a sexy woman, but rather a love song to marijuana." See channel or blog for more clips. Extra work on getting the picture good enough to match the music and special audio mix. Footage from VHS Archive at https://archive.org

Irene Cara — What A Feeling (Flashdance)🩰 1984 American Music Awards + commercials

Rare clip (new) — Irene Cara performs 1983's iconic hit "Flashdance (What A Feeling)", live at the American Music Awards. Great song from singer, actress and dancer Irene Cara, co-written by Giorgio Moroder. Introduction by host Lionel Richie. Clip continues to Michael Jackson winning another award for Favorite Pop Album (Thriller), Rick James and the Mary Jane Girls presenting the Favorite Country Artist, and commercials. I felt it was better to include in this clip as bonus material than making it a separate clip. The movie Flashdance was released on April 15, 1983. On May 28, the song "What A Feeling" hit #1 in US, where it stayed for six weeks. On June 25, the soundtrack when to #1 and stayed for two weeks, interrupting the initial run of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Cara: "'What a feeling' was a metaphor about a dancer, how she's in control of her body when she dances and how she can be in control of her life." [From Songfacts.] On
