Level 42 - Something About You
Level 42 - Something About You
The music video of Something About You is directed by Stuart Orme, who also directed videos for the Level 42 songs "Lessons in Love" and "Running in the Family". The music video appears in they video album Family of Five, released in 1987. Mark King is characterized as a dark magician, it represents the negative side of the relationship of Mike Lindup, Phil, and Boon Gould with their girlfriends. Each one of the cases in certain situations. ________________________________________ At the beginning of their career, Level 42 was a jazz-funk fusion band, following in the footsteps of such pioneers as Stanley Clarke. By the end of the '80s, they were a pop-R&B band with a number of hit singles to their credit. Featuring Mark King (bass, vocals), Phil Gould (drums), Boon Gould (guitar), and Mike Lindup (keyboards), the band formed in 1980. Before they released their first single, "Love Meeting Love," the band was pushed to add vocals to their music in order to give it a more commercial sound; they complied, with King becoming the lead singer. Released in 1981, their self-titled debut album was a slick soul-R&B collection that charted in the U.K. Top 20, resulting in the release of The Early Tapes by their former record label, Polydor. Level 42 had several minor hit singles before 1984's "The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)" hit the British Top Ten. Released in late 1985, World Machine broke the band worldwide; "Lessons in Love" hit number one in Britain and "Something About You" hit number seven in America. Their next two records, Running in the Family (1987) and Staring at the Sun (1988), were a big success in the U.K., yet only made some headway in the U.S. Both of the Gould brothers left the band in late 1987; they were replaced by guitarist Alan Murphy and drummer Gary Husband. Murphy died of AIDS-related diseases in 1989; he was replaced by the renowned fusion guitarist Alan Holdsworth for 1991's Guaranteed. The band followed Guaranteed in 1995 with Forever Now. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

More 80's Trivia!
1980's Trivia QuizThe answers are at the end. Don't peek!
1. What was the British equivalent of "We Are The World?"
2. Name six members of the Brat Pack.
3. What Liverpool band popularized the Doors' "People Are Strange?" in the
80's?
4. Who had the trademark saying "Nanoo Nanoo?"

9. Who was the leader of the Transformers? (according to the cartoon)
10. Where did the Super friends congregate and watch the latest happenings
on a big screen TV?
The Answers:
1. "Do they know it's Christmas?" by Band Aid
2. Demi, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy
3. Echo and the BunnyMen
4. Mork from Mork and Mindy
5. This one was tough.
Duran Duran was the original name for the group. Bassist John Taylor
took the name of the villain in Roger Vadim's 1967 film "Barbarella"
starring Jane Fonda. He liked the rhythm of the name and decided it
matched the band's "edgy" sound at the time. Two of the founding
members were considering another name, a three-letter acronym (RAF?)
that wasn't intended to stand for anything. Arcadia was formed after
Duran Duran by band members Simon Lebon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor,
while the other 2 members (John and Andy Taylor) formed Power Station
with Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson. Arcadia had a big single
"Election Day." Duran Duran got back together after the Arcadia and
Power Station Projects, but without Andy and Roger Taylor.
