38 Special - If I'd Been The One (SUPERSCALED) 🇺🇸

Like these upscaled videos? I'm not paid to do these but you could maybe please Buy Me A Coffee to show your support for my efforts! www.buymeacoff...
The first single and opening track from their sixth studio album, 1983's "Tour De Force", it hit #1 on the US Mainstream Rock chart, #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #49 in Canada. It was written by Don Barnes, Jeff Carlisi, Larry Steele, and Donnie Van Zant.
Don Barnes recalled in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, ”I tell you, it's a strange feeling to be standing there, and you're supposed to be singing into the camera, and there are 35 horses stampeding 6 feet behind you,” says Barnes. ”You kind of check out of the corner of your eye, hoping one of these horses doesn't take a left turn.”
Then there was the burning house used in a few scenes-and the director's idea to shoot in an area rich with wheat fields. ”They had run fuel lines to the windows of the house,” says Barnes. ”They'd light all the fuel lines, then turn the gas up, so it would look like the windows were pouring out flames. All this was up in Alberta, Canada, which was the only place we could find with wheat that hadn`t been harvested yet.”
Weaving her way through this tapestry of hooves, flames and grain was a young woman who supposedly was dreaming the video's scenes. A young woman who would go on to even greater fame.
”Yeah, that was Julianne Phillips, (who was) Bruce Springsteen's wife,” says Barnes. ”She was just a model who'd been hired then. She was kind of out of her element up there. You know, she was from New York, a $2,000-a-day model going up to the wheat fields of Pincher Creek, Alberta.”
In 1991, Phillips accepted the role of Frankie Reed, the business-oriented character on Sisters; it became her best-known role. She left the show at the end of its fifth season in 1995, returning for its final episode in 1996.
Phillips stopped acting in 1997 and has rarely been in the public eye since.
The video was filmed near Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada and plays off the album cover, which featured running horses and burning house, and was directed by Peter Israelson who would go on to direct music videos for Taylor Dayne, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?".
