The only thing I remembered about this video was Sting's Tin Tin sweater. Who knew 25 years later I'd think Tin Tin was one of the best animated movies I ever saw.
1:08 Sting appears to be using a kind of unorthodox notation system there... I saw one like it in a book (except it used a vertical staff) in the 1970s. I've never seen it anywhere else, but this looks very much like it.
I think this is Paula Abdul's funny and inventive choreography--love it, it reminds me a little of Twyla Tharp.
And I join others here in sending condolences about Vesta Williams--I never knew the name of the wonderful backing vocalist, but I'm sad to learn she's died. Does anyone here know more about her work? Other songs and/or videos she contributed to?
And has ANYONE posted somewhere on YT Sting's terrific live version of this song on SNL? I would love to see/hear that again....
@TheCatgirl6 Vesta sang for Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Gladys Knight, Stephanie Mills,...to name a few, but I can't recall the exact songs. She had big hits of her own, the biggest probably being "Congratulations", and then there's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Don't Blow a Good Thing".
@Mandi7882 Ah, my bad--sorry, you're right! I looked Lather up on Wikipedia and saw the choreography credit for "We'll Be Together." My apologies.
However, I also noticed that Lather is listed as one of the dancers in several Paula Abdul choreographed videos, such as Janet Jackson's "Nasty" and "When I Think of You." So he was influenced by Abdul to some degree--maybe that's why I got my wires crossed about who choreographed the moves for this song.
@TheCatgirl6 - Do not take this personally, but I wonder what folks did before "looking it up on Wikipedia". I'm not a wikipedia fan as it should not be something to rely on, but I think young people have come to do so - and that is not good as real knowledge and truth will fade. Paula IS wonderful,but don't go nuts with crediting her. Auditioning and getting a spot does not necessarily mean you are influenced by THAT person. It just means you get to dance as that is what you love.
@Mandi7882 Well I'll try not to Mandi, if you won't. Look, I would agree that Wikipedia--or any online site--should not be the only source for information, especially when getting it right is crucial. On the other hand not everyone has the same access to every source of info out there. And btw, "influencing" does not equal "appropriating." Simply noting the similarity isn't meant as an accusation or a slight to Mr. Lather's gifts. Every creator is influenced by something or someone.
@Mandi7882 A pleasure; you're welcome! (And I mean that sincerely, Mandi7882--it's nice to have a YT debate that doesn't devolve into mindless nastiness) :-)
Now, Sting, if your music was more simple and more fun like this, you'd have more success here in The USA. I wish you'd get that thruogh your head. At any rate...
i must say i was surprised to see that everybody remember this blond dancer, as well i do think about her everytime i hear this tune, she was hot! strangely enough I forgot about this 'Tintin' sweater though...
I just want to make this beautiful dream come true.
Every day I wake up is another blessing because I’m live and I can sing from my heart. Well, Music is all I have in my life and it’s all I NEED to live.
‘Cause without it I couldn’t smile, dreaming, singing and living.
And all I need to come true this amazing dream is your support .that’s all it takes
Omg !!!! So Love me some Sting a really good friend turned me on to his music back in the late 80's and I still Love listening to his music after all these years.... besides he's sooo HOT !!!
I know, I know. It's incredible. As a 24-year-old I couldn't take my eyes off her. Talk about "star quality". I only hope she went on to a stellar career.
@tuxguys The follow up single to "If You Love Someone" was "Love is the Seventh Wave" followed by "Fortress Around Your Heart" followed by"The Russians" followed by 2 more singles released only in the UK and Germany followed by........... "We'll Be Together".
But the albums from which those two singles were released from were consecutive.
I stand corrected... I had just about quit listening to pop radio at the time, and those two LP's by Sting were almost the last two jazz, pop, or rock albums I ever bought... in Boston radio, as far as I know, those were the two consecutive single releases.
WOKE UP IN MY CLOTHES AGAIN THIS MORNING --- ABOUT TO BE 49 YEARS OLD AD [TO MY SURPRISE BELIEVE IT OR NOT] IT S-T-O-L-L HAPPENS! I GUESS THAT IT ALWAYS WILL SO I DON'T SWEAT IT ANYMORE. MOVING ON TO THE NEXT 'TICK' - WHY DO I DO THAT?...
yeaaaaaah cool song hey hey sting wear a polo of tintin & milou lol i'm from belgium i love the dacing girls at the end of the video the girl in the middle is so sexy but the movement on the chairs 4:33 is really amazing i wonder how the girls has made this
me ii i do that i think as i'll make me hurt really at my asshole lol !
Yup, that's her. It seems she was in a buttload of videos throughout the eighties. Has her own dancewear line now.
She was in videos with Janet Jackson, Prince, etc. Most memorably in Michael Jackson's thriller, but of little interest for our purposes cause she was in hideous zombie makeup for that one.
Australia's Renee Geyer singing the backing vocals on this track. Shame not in the clip. Trying to pinch the boniest ass in history ~ I'll give him some flesh to hold onto :)
i love sting!!! if you look to the names at the comments you see my name than somewhan else than my than somewan else and than me agen. im way to adicted
Now if Sting had wrriten his songs like THIS, he would have been more respected in The USA; His problem is that he intellectualizes too damn much. Paul McCartney doesn't, and that's why Sting can Never be like Mr. McCartney. Believeth thou it!
@kja427 Thanks God he is not like McCartney... and thanks for brains... In fact of all the Beatles Mr. McCartney is the least appealing of them all... Give me John, George or Ringo anytime... but Paul was always so full of himself...
This is a great video in some way,it puts a smile on my face!I like the way Sting and Trudie looks at each other...Like me and my husband,lovely. :) <3
@jeffpecks5569sv i love the song little wing of that album. i love it that it's a cover of Jimi Hendrix (one of the best guitarists ever!) bit that is not the reazon that i love the song.
but my favorite album is Dolphins. not many people know it. my favorite song of that album is fill her up.
@heartnsoul67 you do realize that this came out around 1987 when those moves were very well thought out for the time, actual choreography rather than the random 'do what ever happens to scratch your itch' crunkin' that shows up more often than not now....and you missed ZZ Top and Janet Jackson in your observations ^.^
shit, that was damn good
