Something occurred to me over the weekend. Did we ever get to see the finished promotional video of Easy Lover by Phil Collins & Philip Bailey? I've only ever seen the 'Making of' documentary linked below.
Come on, Phil, it's been 42 years now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkRK...
I don't think Lauren ended up in the final movie, but here is she, myself and others doing some pre-production make up tests on my 37th birthday, no less. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL9Y...

Ha ha, yes!
8 Bit 'So Wha't is fantastic! Thank you.
