Thanks for sharing this, jobeterob! Interesting to hear that Miss Ross was so awestruck about Daryl Hall considering their collaboration on "Swept Away" a few short months before. Also cool to see what Bahler looks like.

I can relate because like Miss Ross I'm another one of Daryl Hall's biggest fans.

Looks like the Jane Fonda video was done quite a while ago

Looks like the Jane Fonda video was done quite a while ago

I think it aired on HBO, not long after the single was released.

The 30th anniversary got a lot of attention.

Interesting that Smokey was supposed to do a solo spot and missed it.

I heard Diana was important in getting people to participate.
