80's was the sheeeit

trashilicious

[ricky2050]

oh how i love this

[viperfishsasori]

Memories!!

[bnotesounds]

Another Starpoint favorite!! I swear, they were so consistent with their music and performances. Starpoint consisted of chemistry we don't see in groups these days.

[Secretaryboy]

Being from the UK I loved lived and breathed this type of amercian electro soul, i really miss this stuff groups like New York Skyy Howard Johnson The System and over here we had Five Star also the clothes were so glitzy back then compared to what boring drab clothing people wear now. i still wear the box jackets satin shirts, It really looks weird now as i never see anyone dressed like me and it really is obviously 80s,

[JVLC17]

Rene Diggs is the true Beyonce of the 80's

[Therealanimale]

At least she can be proud of leaving behind this musical legacy that will never go away..

God must have wanted the greatest music from the greatest musical period ever to revitalize trough the digital developments that killed the oldschool acoustic music in the first place!

You see how God's ways are mysterious? :)

[yellowbird39tc]

SO POWERFUL!

[kameelahb9]

Starpoint was such an awesome group.

In the summer of 1986, I saw Starpoint on a double bill with Alexander O'Neal at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. The performance was unforgettable -- even if my date was not! Starpoint is one of the reasons I am Old Skool to this very day.....

[drunkensilenus]

wow that must have been quite a concert. i love alexander o'neal. would have loved to have been there and even walk around harlem, which is so different today, albeit with less crime and drugs (1986 was when crack cocaine exploded onto the nyc scene, decimating communities like harlem, south bronx, bed-stuy, wash. heights, etc.). another era...

[Azone01]

I just found out that Warner Music Group owns Starpoint's music from 1985 to 1990 (including this song and "ObJect Of My Desire"). Youtube recently removed several "Object of My Desire" clips including a Soul Train performance of it and this video and "He Wants My Body" could be next. Warner Music Group ordered several videos that I posted to be removed within the past 2 weeks (now that sucks!)!

[chochief]

chochief. thats my jam

[onebasshit]

starpoint opened for morris day on his first solo tour...they tore it up!!!!

renee diggs will be missed always

[FireitupBedford]

I never got to see them live. :(

[montey1]

She died of multiple sceloris back in '05 at the age of 50. Sad. May she be at peace.

[montey1]

Yes please someone. What was the cause of her death? Sorry to here about this.

[verlinna]

I was wondering how did she pass away. I am a fan of Starpoint, I was so sad to hear the bad news.

[rcooper6]

A shinning star who's light has been extinguished. Renee Diggs R.I.P., and know that you are greatly missed and loved.

[detriotman]

were there really beds in the 1980s that lite up?

[genXer3]

I saw ONE in my lifetime, but they were used a few times in videos, Michael Jackson's video for "Billie Jean" used one.

[mskears]

I no longer have the vinyl. Never kept those.

I have mp3s of it that I made from the cassette copy I made of it back when I bought the 12 inch. It's the vocal and nonvocal of Object of My Desire and vocal and non vocal of Restless. Love it dearly.

[texrayray]

I heard there was a 12 inch remix of this bad ass song! Anybody got it?

[sdtraxx]

I used to own the original 12" remix version to this song and many others. Starpoint remixes were never really that great as remixed "dance" mixes go. "Restless" as many others only added a few echoes and extra guitar solos, but that's it.

[classy1973]

I'M SO SAD SHE DIED!

[ikecot3rd]

are you serious? that is terrible. when and how?

[djshortyb]

I have been looking for this video for years! Thank you sooooo much for posting. Does anyone know where/how I can get higher resolution version to download and burn onto dvd? Hurry! I'm Restless! RIP Ernesto and Renee.

[bboydreem]

i only found out about starpoint in 2003. I feel so robbed!

Absolutely awesome music, and this is one of my favourites!

Starpoint *****!

[mixrbear]

CLASSIC!!

[Imerica1]

She was the Beyonce of the 80's. Beautiful voice...

[BMichaelL]

Just added this clip to my favorites. Didn't Beyonce resemble her? That's crazy - almost as if Renee's image got duplicated or "worked into" Beyonce's look.

[originalwharris]

R.I.P. Renee Diggs and Ernesto Phillips.

[herculeshernandez]

i have this on a videotape from '86... it's all beat up and the sound is shot to all hell, but i still break it out sometimes for the hell of it, lol. i was only 6 years old staying up taping videos on friday nights- my mother's friends used to call me 'the video king'- I thought i was so cool cause i had a 'nicknem' given to me by the adults, haha.

[nick7477]

I love this song. I was 8 years old in 1985 when this came. Power 99 FM used to wear this song out along with "Object of My Desire". I love Renee's voice.  It's a shame that she died teo years ago. :(

[Azone01]

Renee Diggs died in 2004. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. Check out Starpoint's other videos on the tube!

[DeejayLarz2006]

how did she die?? I remember this group from when I was younger. What a shame!

[sharmarke612]

one of my all time fav-i still love this song who ever posted i dont know how i thank u bro

starpoint,atlantic starr,midnight star,the system,kool moe dee,shalamar,mtume,juicy,oddey­ssey where the kings yonis god bless ya

[CSD7038]

you forgot to include Chaka Khan and Zapp & Roger

I don't blame you at all my friend. I was a teenager back in the day when these straight-up down-right Jams were a part of the central force of the pop-music scene. They were electrifying, dynamic, and exploding with pizaaaazzz. These Brothers and Sisters were always right-on with it. In short they took Alfred Nobel's invention of Dynamite up to a whole new dangerous level as always demonstrated through their more Powerful Hits.

[mrmoore1970]

Awesome! 1986, my high school days, revisited! Thanks for this clip!

[sembach96]

I agree! I was a freshman then, and this song rocked. What a great year and decade for music.

[newhaven39]

this is so hot. so much better than the crap you hear today.

[show555]

Love this song, finally found it in 18 years

[GQBlue3]

I remember when they sang this song on Kids Incorporated, LOL

[HeSeesAll]

I did follow the group in their hay days and the lead singer was one of the best ever held the mic. with one of the best group to grace the stage. Smashing tune.

[jmar1973]

WOW...........................

I haven't heard this in years!!Thank you SO much!!!

I'm saddened however to learn that the lovely lead singer passed away from MS in 2005..R.I.P Renee,and thanks for the memories!!!

[redhotstuff]

I was VERY YOUNG the first time/last time I saw this video. I have always been a fan of this song and it's great to be reunited with it. I'm actually tearing up right now... this is unbelievable.

[SIRSOSMOOTH]

wow...love the way she sings

[OzlemCraig]

thanks for this video, i think i have a tape full only with this song somewhere in my cellar kept from the days.

[smoothness69]

As a Starpoint fan, being able to see this video for the first time is an amazing experience.

[Trac88Lennon1]

You're welcome, and God bless you for adding a comment.

[mismissy69]

OMG I have been lookling for this video fo rthe longest. God bless you for posting this. I love starpoint, I think they were one of the best groups. Thanks a million

[dirtydee28]

i have this cassette this is my jam along with what you been missin.

[mrl2u]

Thanks for this post!! Renee sounded great as usual. The song peaked at #11 R&B. BTW, Renee passed away Feb. 2005 from complications of a heart condition and MS, which she was diagnosed with in 1985.

[Azone01]

Rene was a PYT back in the day! Damn shame that she passed away!

[TheJules2006]

Thanks for posting this, I took jazz dance back in 86, and our group danced to this song, it's cool to see the actual vid!

[enique1103]

I have this vid from a really old program from '86. The quality of your video is alot better than mine!

[blakryme]

this was my best song for that year. the extended mix was just as hot as the video and single. wish i'da caught them perform live. thanx for the posting.

[ellbron]

Wow! I can't thank the poster enough. "Restless!" A favorite song from a special year.

[JoEY4102]

this song was so hot!!!!! thanks so much for posting! RIP Renne Diggs...you made my life more funny in those wonderful days. Object of my Desire & Restless => two awesome hits best ever did!!!

[atomicplayboy4u]

Yesssss ! Thanks for posting !!! I met Renee and the band back in the mid 80`s of all the bands they were the best :) Not enough space here to spell it all out but quite the adventure :) Msg for the rest of the story :)

[Simon5005]

OMG! I taped this off of VH1 back in 1986, the tape was lost ten years ago, and this is the first time I've seen this video since......thanks for posting! How did this poor girl die, anyway?

[Azone01]

I got this on tape from Friday Night Videos back in 1986 and I wanted to post it for a hot minute, but I don't have the equipment that allows me to transfer VHS and DVD stuff onto computer!

[atomicplayboy4u]

MS from what I have read on here :( I met her and the band in person :) Great bunch of people even thou a bunch of em had the flu :)

[yesindeediam1]

Renee Diggs was one of the most underrated R&B singers of the 1980's. She should have been a crossover pop superstar. Check out "He Wants My Body", too!
