You have to have lived in this ERA to truly enjoy. Because if you were we witness the beginning of this technical era. Because back then I didn't listen to music felt it!

Didn't matter, MTV wasn't going to play Evelyn's music, not a black Funk artist. Michael Jackson's record label had to extort MTV, to play more black artists. BET was out a full year before MTV, so that's where she would have got her video played. Or maybe a television promo spot. But not MTV. @@AEMoreira81
