[chillinjazZ]

Automatic man is my life soundtrack. Can't stop dancing hearing that

[meialuadj]

Was made a promotional video of the song Automatic Man.Unfortunately it disappeared :((

[bhkidd]

When you are as musically talented as this guy is, no makeover necessary.

Borat in his hay-day.

[swastikausa]

IT took so many people to create the feeling of flashdance. even though they never share a scene michael sembello is linked forever with jennifer beals and marine jahan(the stunt dancer)

[swastikausa]

that drummers having fun.

[CamButler]

Only in the 80's could a chubby bear man with a big beard become a pop star

[MrFernandoAbel]

@CamButler even like this.. man he´s great!! kkkkkkkk even with the big beard

[bhkidd]

@CamButler He had more musical talent in his little finger than ninety percent of today's artists.  Look up his bio. Played backing up Stevie Wonder from age 18 till he went out on his own. Awesome musician, and what you saw was what you got.

[cicina4444]

@CamButler Only nowadays can immature faggot like a justin bieber become a pop star

[KuriapXia]

@cicina4444 Exactly BEST COMMENT ON YOUTUBE!

[cjs33139]

OMG! i feel soooo old. Seeing that guy in with the red sweater around his neck over his polo, reminds me how I used to dress like that! Gross! Man, we had some strange geeky fashions back then. :)

[CamButler]

@cjs33139 People still dress like that now!

[julark]

I love this performance! What a fantastic song!

[QuickPic2]

Actually, it's more like alot of girls and guys. lol. And more.

[DSDMovies]

Someone needs to make 0:13-0:20 into a gif!

[AngelxNaruto]

@DSDMovies BOBO TE ESTA MOSTRANDO COMO EL TOCA SIN MIRAR.. POR SI NO TE DAS CUENTA.

[QuickPic2]

The Maniac guy he's kind of hairy. Doesn't matter to me I like to mention it. Some chicks dig it and stuff.

[bringinthekin]

@QuickPic2 some guys dig it too.

[cjs33139]

@QuickPic2 haha, yeah. This was back when men didn't feel ashamed to have back and upper arm hair. . LOL Man, in the last 25 years, we have changed so much; men that is. I think for the better. It's about time men cared about body hair!

[Alequisandro]

Puxa vida, minha adolescência acabou de mandar lembrança de alguma lugar!!!

[Gugaweber87]

O cara é o pai do Dallas Green!

He's Dallas Green's father!

[danielpauloferreira]

Eu acho essa musica muito tesão... Michael Sembello é o cara.

[potrezaml]

I didn't know that the other guy on the keys (on his left ) is his brother...

[honesty93300]

la classe

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

Man...That's FANTASTIC ! They rock, all of them, on each of their instruments ! Where have gone these days of pure fun...? I wa living in France at that time, and I remember that we had such wonderful programs... The 1990s and 2000s really suck in comparison with that decade ...

[chillinjazZ]

Man his image is really original. I don't like when people are copying elses images and styles. He is who he is and that's pretty sincere. I like Automatic man - it's a dynamic 80's piece with great synth bass. Thank you Michael!))

[JesusKrispies]

I never realized how hot this guy was....

[cbiscuit3]

@JesusKrispies no shit, I thought he was jack radcliffe at first

[rstdot]

I love the stare-y keyboardist

[hindsighter]

This version is far better than the weak Flashdance version

[antbird]

The female cellist is a goddess!!!

[playsbass1969]

that's a really bad keyboard and telecaster clavitar

[georgez113]

fantastic!!

[thefirefighter2011]
