    I love Alexander O'Neal's music. The 1985 to 1991 period of his career is like heaven on earth to me. This video was AO in his prime.

    Alex, you really put out a good show on that stage
    The 1980s were Flyte Tyme magic,thanks to Jimmy and Terry
    But I know Janet had "Nasty" , you had "Fake" both J&L classics indeed.

    Wow 1987, I was only 10years old, never saw this clip before. Of course back in those days there was no access to all these tv channels like nowadays. But what a great performance. Arsenio Hall's jacket is also back in style. 🤣 I just love the 80's sound ! Alex looks and sounds Wow. Of course. This man's voice is just one in a million. I could even recognize it if I was far on another planet. God bless you Alexander O' Neal. 💯🕺👍💝💃🌃

    Before the RIFF RAFF came to Minneapolis you would see everyone in a downtown club called FELTY'S. Prince would pop in and jam with the house band. Paul Peterson would play a new song from one of his many projects. The Steele's would destroy the stage with their gospel style ensemble. Jellybean would sit in on guitar. Actor T. K. Carter would pop in with Jerome and get on stage and do some crazy sh*t. Jeff Lorber would pop in and plays keys. Great time for the Minneapolis music scene.
