I grew up in Brooklyn NY. Friday night we stayed up to watch hot tracks. We would turn between channel 7 to see hot tracks and Friday night videos on channel 4 to see who was hosting and what new videos were playing.
New York Hot Tracks was simulcasted on WKTU 92.3 FM while Friday Night Videos was simulcasted on WAPP 103.5 FM before it was later simulcasted on Z 100(WHTZ 103.5 FM) during the time of when it was being aired on NBC-TV Channel 4. Such great times to be a youngster back in the 80's.
You post the classics. Nothing like the 1980's and television back then was warm, inviting, fun. Nothing like today. Nostalgia is too much to handle sometimes but I keep watching.
I was still a baby in 1984, and I was too young to remember New York Hot Tracks, nor I watched the show. But, thank you for posting this episode, nonetheless. R.I.P. Carlos De Jesus
I was born in 83” (same yr New York Hot Tracks came out) but I remember it well because my dad use to tape several videos from that program. First time I’ve seen videos from Prince, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Shalamar, Luther Vandross and my first exposure to rap music as well like The Fat Boys and Run DMC. Hot Tracks played many videos that MTV refused to play at this time (more than half the roster catered to Post Disco, hip-hop, and R&B fans). Anyone that didn’t have BET or cable back then relied heavily on Hot Tracks.
I was real young watching this show late Friday night. It came on after Friday night videos on nbc, hot tracks came on channel 7 at 1pm. Living in brooklyn in the era music drown out the gun shots and drug crack heads making noise in the streets , well that was on my block. Music was just good back then. I miss the 80’s so much. Rip to the celebs in this show . FYI Michael Jackson, Madonna and boy George ruled the 80’s
At the time Mtv wasn't play that many black artist and every Friday night at 12:30 am we would get NY hot track and we saw all the good videos this show was so part of my childhood do anyone remember when Angie and Jessie from all my children started hosting the show I also remember 92 ktu would broadcast the show so you could hear it in stereo
Wow talk about nostalgia,.. I was just a little guy, around 3 in a half to 4 years old my mother use to watch New York Hot Tracks and i would be up wide awake watching tv right underneath her while she would be sipping on her old English can beer through a straw in a brown paper bag... One thing I will say is that the commercial with Michael Jackson was truly a memory back through time when they had showed the beat it and thriller pics
It was our Pre-MTV in NY .. Thanks to Carlos for "Hot Tracks," Uncle Ralph aka Ralph McDaniels w/"Video Music Box," and Bobby Simmons from "Stetsasonic" with "Flava Videos" We didnt need watered down MTV all 3 of them pioneers gave us Hip-Hop live and direct in our homes #ThankYouHipHop #HipHopSavedMe

@@Suave_TheArtKartel Dude, I lived in Coney Island, Brooklyn and my cousins lived on Linden Boulevard in East New York. "I want my MTV" was just a catch phrase. In my previous statement, I was trying to say that MTV was already out for years and it was popular. Back then, U68 on UHF also played music videos. I am 47 years old now; I remember watching _New York Hot Tracks_ on the weekends with my brother. You're comparing a video show with a video channel, they are not the same.
My childhood me and my brothers and sisters great times growing up in the 80s love this music. The music today this guy's looking and sounding like girls it's crazy. After the 80s 90s the music change I don't listen to today's music. Watching this on channel 7 at 12midnight.
Oklahoma City, OK. The black radio station did not play rap music until midnight and only for an hour. New York Hot Tracks kept many country hick towns up to date on music that wasn't in the top 10.
Dang Monie does it again! I watch your Saturday morning cartoon collection and 1984 is one of my favorite years from the eighties. This show was one of many from that era. Many major cities had music video shows. I forget the one that aired in Chicago when I was coming up but it was kind of like this show
Subscribed! Thank you so much for this amazing time capsule! Opening with Cal Worthington, it just completely threw me in the nostalgia pool! LOL... thank you so much, again.
I greatly enjoyed watching this video. It brought back some wonderful memories. I used to enjoy watching New York Hot Tracks every late Saturday night on Philadelphia's Channel 29 back in 1984 and 1985.
New Watch 13? I'm confused; I grew up in Coney Island, Channel 13 belonged to PBS. Channel 13 was used for educational shows like _Sesame Street,_ _321 Contact,_ _Electric Company._ Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) was did not broadcast this type of content on channel 13 in the 5 boroughs during this era (I moved away in 1997). The channel was completed funded by grants and donations. What part of New York was this recorded?
@@nesoldier74 I didn't think _New York Hot Tracks_ aired in other states (accept New Jersey). I thought it was only aired in New York City and close by cities.
We had "VH1" here in LA, bu t I really like this one, too! What fun memories and commercials. Is it just me, or did life seem so much lighter and fun back then? 🧐
starting with Give Me Tonight? don't disappoint me now. Really deserved a better video. jeez. Sorry Cameo, but all we want is "Word Up." if you can find Three's Company anywhere, watch it again. it totally holds up today. well, disappointed. the rest of the videos (if you can find them in the commercials for used cars and RVs) are total dogs.
New York Hot Tracks was for those who felt FNV was "too white". I remember when they had Madonna on when she first came out. Between those two shows and Video Music Box, NY wasn't missing MTV haha
Man, I remember laying right under my mother, while she would be sipping on a can of old English, wow talk about nostalgia, and I always said how the 80s were like really the last of the good ol' days!!
Thanks for uploading this episode, I appreciate it. I actually love the commercials, especially the girl at the beginning. Hot Tracks was where I heard of Pamela Stewart, I love that song. You left out some videos: Laura Branigan, Billy Joel, maybe for copyright reasons or courtesy, you couldn't include those. I do ask for the closing videos, can you please upload them all the way through to the Broyhill advertisement, Clothes For Carlos furnished by, the logo big in size, and the syndication music? That is all part of the nostalgia. You might be able to upload closing videos with credits because the closing videos were always cut. I'm also looking for The Great Record Album Collection and The Record Guide. They played 5 popular videos and closed with an obscure video, a tease with credits and the video cut off. After videotaping those, if I would see the whole video later, I would be blown away. Record Guide closings got me into unknown and alternative music. Please upload The Record Guide if you can too.
@@MoneMedia I found a commercial of The Great Record Album Collection so you can see what it looked like: th-cam.com/video/_E4BzcDzyPA/w-d-xo.html They used a spinning vinyl for the chyrons, then in 1985 changed it to The Record Guide and used a spinning CD instead. I still wonder if Hot Tracks ever played Duran Duran, even when Nile Rogers produced Notorious in 1986. Milwaukee was between syndication contracts then so I didn't get Hot Tracks for a year. Duran Duran really brought a hip hop influence in 1996 covering White Lines by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, but Hot Tracks was long gone by then. And Hot Tracks had so many videos to play, they had priority to play NYC artists, club videos. If they threw on the 1983 rock song "Der Kommisar" a year later, I don't see why not Duran Duran, could have been record company reasons.
This definitely brings back memories living in New York of my last year of Junior High School 1984 going into my freshman year of High School that year!
I remember watching this when I was a little kid - born in 1974 - in Bucks County, PA (right next door to Trenton, NJ). It never even dawned on me that people could see it anywhere but where we were (because I thought it was strictly a local/regional thing). The more you know.
