positive energy is right - sounds like downtown Miami.

Also sounds like when I lived in the Bronx near the Hunts Point Palace!  :cool: Cool stuff!

I will never understand why most norwegian radio stations only play their one song, The Way It Is (and the sad thing is that it is more of a chance to hear 2pac - Changes than the original) when these guys produced so many great songs within a few years, just as catchy as the hit mentioned above.

Reminds me of his 70s porn look from Cop Land and Jackie Brown (both released in 1997) but with a little bigger moustache:

Kind of a haunting little reggae number, that song.

It's a shame Grace Jones never appeared on Miami Vice. She was at the height of her career in the early to mid 80s. But I'm sure the success of "Slave To The Rhythm" in late 1985 meant she had no time to go to Miami. And before that, she was busy playing a lead role in "A View To A Kill" alongside Roger Moore.

She would have been great for offbeat roles, like the part Eartha Kitt played in "Whatever Works"... or maybe as one of Legba's women in "Tale of the Goat".

This is a masterpiece... Jan's work is really something special, I've just established a new appreciation for it.

Never heard this version of Self Control before... Saw it in the "related videos" bar while watching some fan-made Miami Vice thing.

Never saw/heard this version either. I like the original music video with Laura Branigan, it's been played like a "thousand" times here on VH1. :)

They actually came out around the same time, in spring/summer 1984. And they were also in the charts at the same time, at least here in Europe. Not sure which version performed better.

The song was co-written by one Raffaele Riefoli and he published the song himself on his own album under the artist name "Raf". And then Laura Branigan came out with her version as well, after the song had been pitched to her by the writers.
