Philip Bailey I KNOW

[curtis75black]

A video like this couldn't be made today !! It wouldn't be taken serious especially from a woman's point of view.

[deniseandread]

i remember this on new york hot tracks too.

[FireitupBedford]

This was a time where you could relate to the song and or the video. Today the only way you can relate to a song you had to have killed someone or getting ready to shoot someone or treat a woman bad. Back in the day these artist sang about love and how to be in love. If anyone builds a time machine back to the 80's let me know I'll be the first one in line...

[MrCancer1965]

Very nice solo hit by Philip Bailey, who is one half of the voice of Earth Wind & Fire. Of course the other half is Maurice White. Philip Bailey was the man though.

[Ziggy2Gunz]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME TO MY FATHER. TALK ABOUT FINDING YOUR LOVE AGAIN. "WOW"

[Ziggy2Gunz]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME TO MY FATHER.

[KuttyJoe]

This song and video are pure magic. Very special memories in this one for me.

[profdab]

[bunnyman09]

I can't tell you how much I love this song. I haven't heard it in years but it still brings me to tears. Thanks so much for posting it.

[cavaleri]

[hanbone76]

this is when videos told a story and were great

[tito1981able]

I love this video, its kinda biographical..life goes on, but a man never forgets that special WOMAN. I KNOW what Phillip is singing about! This song cam out when folks sang about LOVE ya know!

[tito1981able]

Great Song!

[msJ5ful]

Thank u for this add!!! this was when Midnight Love was on BET.. True Classic

[717beachbum]

Years ago I used to waitress in a club that had a big screen for playing music videos. When this would come on, I had to stop and watch the whole thing. I love the story, especially the ending. . .so romantic. Tried to find this video for a long time, was so happy when I finally found it. Thanks for posting.

[76grandprix]

Man....take me back to late summer of 1983.

[darodimon]

Everyone, lets get back to the way God intended mainstream music to be percieved. This is beautiful art at its subtle best I LOVE IT ALL. With me we all will remember that just the way it is!

[TruthSerum101]

@darodimon The way God intended mainstream music to be perceived? Do you have any idea how FUNNY and INSANE that is?

[prenticeone]

If I'm not mistaken I think that was his wife for real..

[the430movie]

OMG!!! I thought this was a forgotten song and video! People thought i was crazy when i had told them of this video... Explained it to a tee... They said it never existed! It just never made it in the charts... There were lots of great videos back in the 80's.... Hot tracks, Friday night videos, Rubix cube, atari 2600, Highland park handball + Basket Ball, running with the crowd, adidas, puma, nike.... What a time to be a kid.... what a time to be young.....

[123nondi123]

Wow! Just hapn to run up on this ONE great tune and video!!! Yes, I KNOW! Love this still and always! Respect for Mr. Phillip Bailey! TY for de post! Bless!

[1101randy]

[TheJazzlady40]

[finewine418]

This isgoing way....back if you loved Earth,Wind and Fire...then you Loved Phillip Bailey ...this is when he went solo...who could forget that Falsetto !!!!!!

[Briniee1]

Aw, Man! I've been looking for this song for quite some time.. I just found it on Amazon and thought to check and see if it was here. Thanks for putting it on this website for it is a CLASSIC!

[jperez1910]

What a jam! Brings back so many memories

[branstan8000]

That's my girl Eugenia Wright in this video. She is a big time Publicist in Los Angeles now. She still looks just like that. I love it!! Alright now Eugenia.

[larryluvewf]

@branstan8000 I think someone mentioned she recently passed away. I hope that post on here was an error.

[1980Triumph]

Those pictures arent real, He is wearing a wig and the photos are a mockup.......they did a great job...ex, how did they get footage of them when they were younger dancing around????

[karrs8000]

Oh my goodness, I used to love this song!

It's good to hear it again. Thanks Youtube!

[headedsomewhere]

@karrs8000  I still do!!!!!!!!!! I love me some Philip

[brooke127]

Thank you. :)

[TheBombshell19]

This song reminds me of a boyfriend that I used to have, that drove a cab when we were dating. In fact, he saw me while he was working, and sped around the corner on two wheels: that's how we first met. We had lots of great times.

Boy, I miss those days!

[41elliott]

@TheBombshell19..... Uhhhhh....... I can drive a cab too..... If you want me to.

[desireefrost]

great song.

[cougartino]

I had a gilrfriend in high school looked like this lady. We brook up and this song always reminded me of her.

[cougartino]

I had a gilrfriend in high school looked like this lady. We brook up and this song always reminded me of her.

[Arthro92]

i used to have the absolute BIGGEST crush on the leading lady in this video.

[BigDofLA]

What a great song and video. The HS dating photos look real. Maybe Phillip and this actress dated in HS. Can't find this record on CD or iTunes or anywhere!!

[jacktogo35]

I remember this song when i was in high school during the early 80's. You just don't hear them like this anymore. Philip is an awesome singer!

[KuttyJoe]

I love this song. I never saw the video when it was new. Looking back on it now it has so much meaning for me. And the video is excellent.

[kap2276]

marine corps...1983 Gitmo bay cuba...what a jam back then and now

[djslyych]

this u-tube is incredible.back in the days on video soul with donnie simpson and i think jackie as co-host Real talk, i use 2 hate this because they played this video every damn night,but with the bullshit out now, this is appreciative

[Too2FarGone]

Thanks for putting this video up on YouTube... this is the jam! Word, i remember this on New York Hot Tracks too!!

[writer573]

this was before BET went to shit. just about every video played back then was hot. u could watch videos all day. I feel sorry for the 106 and shit generation.

[FireitupBedford]

@writer573 You got that right. You would think they would have learned from MTV. Those 2 channels were setup to show music video's not that other BS. Havent watched it since then either...

[70sbaby80schild321]

I was 6 years old when I first heard this song back in 1983.

[colored4red]

great

[bklynsfynest2k3]

man i remember this video from way back in the day on hot track with carlos dejesus in NY...LOL....

[havingfun1968]

It was usually the last video before the show ended. that's how I know this song & video as well. Loved watching Hot Tracks!! Those were the videos MTV didn't carry...

[dognasty3]

Is that Lisa Fischer in the video? Looks just like her.

[genobibb]

Man Thanks for this post  I have not seen it in years

[DetroitD60]

I first saw BET in 1980-81

[karameldreem]

me too I was 7 yrs. old.

[curtis75black]

Straight classic. I remember watching this video on Hot Tracks.

[trighe]

LOL

[karameldreem]

are you for real?

[thesweetbreezy]

ooh yeah!

[c0987791]

I have been looking for this song for years now! I am so happy that someone posted this video. It's a very beautiful song that brings back such good memories for me. I can't believe the song is unavailable.

[JON921]

man night tracks in atlanta played this video all the time.never thought i've see it again.

[firewall430]

4:10 to the end...That's true love!!!

[dolphinbuc]

Looking for a slow jam he put out about the same time."Look at me now..I'm wondering how"you know something like that.Help me out people.Anyway I love that video.Gawd haven't seen that since jr.high.Love this stuff.

[RapLoveNr1]

sehr sehr schöner song...

[00Daizy00]

Wow..., who could forget this song, especially me, I mean, I lost my virginity to this, lmao

[havinfun1968]

I can't believe this song is on here. Sitting here in the hospital with cancer eating my body, and the Marine Corps takes great care of me. So don't believe those other stories. The care is beyond words. I listened to this song over and over in Combat. Thank you who ever posted this. God bless my fellow sisters and brothers in arms. Get home safe & in one piece. Semper Fi, and God Bless Phillip bailey for making this song. I love it!!

[trezlorenz]

To a Marine from a fellow Vet (Army)- continue to fight and life will reward you!!!

[fff1313]

Does any one know if he has a cd out with this song and a song called long distance love?Does anyone remember this song?

[BigDofLA]

Long Distance Love was on a record called Inside Out, which was produced by Nile Rodgers. I Know was on Philip's first record, titled Continuation. I don't think either one is in print anymore. Too bad.

[atomicplayboy4u]

I have the cassette :) Every song on it kicks like the title song :)

[fff1313]

thanks for posting this classic GEM from the good old 80's when music was REAL,RAW and cut into your soul like a hot knife through butter!This song was great,the video was class all the way! Phillip Bailey and Maurice white were 2 great singers!War the oldies!

[siouxweety]

Aww how cute!

[youngpr1est]

Great jam and video by PB. I remember I was 9 when it came out on video soul back in the early 80's. I sing it all the time. Tryto at least.

[cybamack]

Thanks for the post. This was probably the first video I really loved. Maybe my favorite of all time. When the video matched the song. Had a story to tell. Kudos to the music and the video.

[kevhar12]

The 80`s had great music all around.R&B,rock, alternative or whatever , it was all good. The best decade IMO.

[SouljaGirlNanna]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song and video. It's so real to me, because it's the soundtrack to my life. I played it to death back in the day and today. Thanks for posting. Thank you Phillip Bailey for the great music.

[TAMTULROD1]

Yeah for sure, onest of the baddest piece he cut.

[jamminace]

Thanks for posting. If anyone is interested, there's a seller on eBay that's selling this CD for less than $20. This is a must have!! And there's extended versions of 2 songs. Check it out!!

[kingsun0064]

This song takes me back,this was the cut back in the day,when musicians actually had talent,and songs had feeling in them,hense the term "soul" i can't speak for everybody but i really liked the 80's and good music,like this cut here is one of the reasons why.

[StretchinOut]

Vintage clip and track.

Thx for posting this treasure.

[Highpriest42]

This guy is my IDOL!!!I grew up on him! I use to think my voice was too high til my uncle played his music with earth wind and fire and then I knew it was cool to sing high!

[MrJP75]

This is back when singers actually put some thought into music videos other than girls shaking their rumps and came up with a story.

[vknit10]

So true. I do love this video. The story reminds us that TRUE LOVE CAN PREVEIL!!!!

[Nsan]

Wow thanks for posting this!

[chucklesluna]

My daddy loves this song

[triomart]

nicevideoitwillmakeyouthinkabo­utlife

[clbzone]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! i HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN DECADES! Wow. This used to come on BET back when Donnie Simpson hosted. Talk about memory lane! Thanks for posting this. I actually have the vinyl LP this is from, Continuation. If that isn't old skool I don't know what is. lol.

[soulchildsacomin]

U were very lucky to have BET in 1983! I didn't get BET until 1987.

[g1underground]

Let me THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

You don't know the memories I'm reliving.

[g1underground]

OMG!!!I thought I would never see this video again. My all time favorite. THANK YOU,THANK YOU!!!

[foxye3diva3]

Wow. I really enjoyed this. I don't think I've ever seen it before and I'm a 70's baby. lol

[Blueskywatcher]

Foxye3diva3, This came out kind of early like maybe '83 and they played it on Hot Tracks once or twice. I forgot about it until today. Thanks for posting, naolo.

[Myceya]

Ditto MrLofton! You can't find it ANYWHERE. I wish I could just find the album/song now but I can't find it anywhere. I LOVE this song.

[musicmoonlight]

oh!! Thanks so much for this. I saw this so long ago. I grew to love it they played it over and over again on our one cable channel... at the very early cable daze. :-) So great!

[MrLofton]

What was the name of this album? and when did this song come out? I searched high and low for this to the point I thought I dreamed it up GOD BLESS U TUBE!

[MrLofton]

Damn I searched HIGH & LOW for this song!

[wandermusic27]

I loved this song back in the day! However, Vaya(Go With Love) was also a favorite! This was from Philip's debut album "Continuation" produced by George Duke! Another Favorite from this LP was "Trapped"! That was a fantastic gem that was so outstanding! Vaya was up, but I don't see it any more! Please put it back if you can! Philip is such a dynamic singer!

[clbzone]

Trapped was my favorite song off this album, Continuation. I need to go on and get a record player (they still make 'em, right? lol) so I can hear that song. Haven't heard it in years! Man.

[divalolo25]

Trapped was the Sh@#!!!! OMG!!! My cousin and I didn't think anybody else was up on that 1!!

[bigbankX]

I use to have this one!!!! ... Love it!

[donjabroni]

this is MUCH better than the one sven86 had up here once.

[sabri35]

Thanks for posting this! I remember this video like it was yesterday. I was around 13 or 14 and I use to love this song!

[Lorenz59]

he's got beautiful gospel music as well peace & love,

[kd1s]

I've got to get this track. I completely forgot about his first solo effort. My collection does include his Soul on Jazz tracks which are very good.

[owenspride]

Naoto 1960 I have been trying to remember this video for so long, it seems that all the major catalogs don't want to. Thanks for the memories...life was still good back then.

[klp6ft6]

Naoto 1960 you know what the good stuff is all about thank you.when p.bailey sings over the roof of the cab is priceless.the model is eugenia wright of guatemala she was in penitentiary 2 playing too sweet's woman.

[vaniti06]

This has been one of my favorite music videos since I was 18, and used to watch it on BET (when they were still good.) Seeing it again brought tears to my eyes- THANK YOU!!!

[karameldreem]

me too!!! I used to watch this on BET back in the day!!!

[Azone01]

Philip Bailey performed "I Know" and "Vaya (Go With Love)" on Soul Train back in 1983 (I would love to get those performances as well as other ST episodes from the eraly 1980's). You were very lucky to have access to BET in 83" (the only other outlets that would play this video in New York was NY Hot Tracks and Friday Night Videos since we did'nt have cable back then).

[BriMcRae]

YouTube never ceases to impress me. I can't believe someone dug this old one up. I would have lost this bet. Thanks!!

[teesha713]

i remember

[AJm53206]

This Video Reminds Me Of The Story Young & The Restless Have To Do With Malclom & Keesha.

[karameldreem]

Wonderful classic!!!!

[lmervin]

I love this video. I don't want to sound weak, but it touches me deep down inside. The authentic high school photos make it "real" and not just a video.

[mrhoffame]

For all the modern day r/b artist..Take notes baby!!! This is how it is done! I can't believe I found this video again!

[SurfunSailor]

Video=B+ Song=A+++++++ Brilliant!

[MadameTroisAka]

You are incredibly amazing! I never thought I would se this video ever again! I usta LOVE it! what was the song that came right after this on the album?

[svenny83]

The next song was "Trapped" :-)

[B52FORTRESS]

brings back memories.

[mspeebles]

I'm with the gal that loves this fucking song.

[rhinoman1023]

I remember when this video debuted. I have not seen it since and I swear li looked for it. Thanks NAOTO

[GabriellaMJ]

I love this fucking song I have been looking all over for it!!!!!!!!...I owe you my life!!!!!!!!!!!

[nick7477]

Damn this shit is old school for your ass. I remember the song, but I never seen this video. I had his debut album on cassette, and it was awesome, but I lost it.

[Azone01]

The girl in the video reminds me of Kimora Lee!

[Marathon357]

Yes, this a a good track from a GREAT debut solo album. I wore out the cassette tape. Can't find it on CD anywhere. Thanks for posting this. Never seen it before.

[darkchild00]

That is one well-directed video & track.

[anacondajohnson]

This was actually okay!

[cutelittlecaramelkid]

This song was featured on his debut solo album "Continuation" in 1982. His second album, "Chinese Wall" was released in 1984.

[nick7477]

Continuation came out in 1983 according to research.

[Azone01]

Is Philip Bailey a blood!? All I know is that that better not be LA!

[nick7477]

I don't know.

[mspeebles]

Yes PB is a blood are you an asshole?

[Azone01]

No. I was being sarcastic.

[leilanibeepbeep]

the song makes me feel like I am in the 80's...love it...model looks like a friend of mine

[thoughtyouthought]

This is bow down!!  Never heard before!

[str8sick]

I am glad somebody you found this

[bigtime9209]

YEAH!!!!!!!!

[Princessinji]

I have been looking for the song for the last 10 years. No one seemed to know what I was talking about. When I tried to describe the video. Thank you so much for putting it up. I have loved this love forever. Oh. If by chance you have any Lilo Thomas Videos you would really be my hero. Much Love from the Princess.

[nancyfanai]

I LOVE YOU FOR PUTTING ON THIS SONG!

[brendaedward]

I love this record!

[atomicplayboy4u]

I love this guitar riff !

[atomicplayboy4u]

WOW !!! Thanks ! My bro/bestfriend played this cassette for me back in the 80s! What memories hehe Anybody listening to this vid buy this cd every song on this cd is awesome really this isnt a one hit cd all the songs are like this one :) Great stuff !
