1980's BET video music thread

[Louie Detroit]

Post a song they played.

I'll start.

The Deele - Two Occasions (Official Music Video) - YouTube

[DJ_Critterus]

Even if BET was around back then, I still wouldn't care. It's racist at face value. Watch people go full on chimp-out if somebody starts a White Entertainment Channel.

[slewfoot]

Sorry, I tried to think of something but all I know are black jokes.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

**** them and their black entertainment bullshit. To me black entertainment is watching them shoot one another.

[Torqaholic]

I watched Soul Train a few times about 40 years ago. Couldn't tell you what songs they played, don't care for jungle music, was there for the dancing girls :D

My Taxes.

I feel your pain. Just got back from mailing mine out. Miserable situation. Now I get to wait for the penalty letter because we have a law here requiring us to pay next years tax in advance by estimation. Ta hell with that insanity... And if they think I'm going to calculate that penalty for them (and they do) they're outta their minds. Not happening :rofl: Oh well, at least the penalty is peanuts compared to the check I just mailed out.

Thanks dude

[Wathen1955]

Sorry, I tried to think of something but all I know are black jokes.LOL I have plenty. I use to dirt bike ride with a black guy from work. Really nice down to earth guy. One time he walked into my lab at work, as I looked up, I saw who it was, and said, "there goes the neighborhood". His response while looking around in the lab, "where are the white women at".

These are just some of the jokes he shared with me:

What do you call a black lady with braces? Black and Decker pecker wrecker.
Why did God invent the climax? So blacks would know when to stop ****ing.
How do you make a Black person nervous? Take him to an Auction.
Who are the most famous black women in history? Aunt Jemima and Motha ****er.

I'll be the odd man out here.....I listened to Donna Summers back then whenever she was on anywhere - the woman was a kick-ass powerful and humble performer...

I’m a fan of much of Mowtown.
And even some of the black disco performers. :yesnod:

To the actual thread topic. The black radio station in Houston used to play "smooth jazz" type mellow soul at night.....they called it 'quiet storm.' I enjoyed listening to that. We never had cable, so I only got to watch MTV when I was at my friends' homes. We never watched BET, though. Frankly, I had no idea that even existed until much later. Never watched it.

Sample:


Smokey Robinson – Cruisin' [Official Lyric Video] - YouTube

If Ever You're in My Arms Again - YouTube

The System - Don't Disturb This Groove - YouTube

Luther Vandross - Superstar / Until You Come Back To Me (Audio) - YouTube

Sade - No Ordinary Love - Official - 1992 - YouTube

We have a local "Smooth Jazz" radio station. They went full woke and it's basically a black R&B channel now.
