Martika - More Than You Know (Alternate Version)

Music video by Martika performing More Than You Know. (C) 1989 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

[@mattg7372]

Damn , her facial/eye expressions =cute, adorable, sexy , bubbly , fun , all in one..!! She’s dynamite 🧨👍🏻👏🏻😍

[@cynot71]

Yeah? Did you know that she can sing too!?

[@MaskedMan66]

Her intended rep was "bad girl," but she was so sweet and adorable that it never quite took. And thank God.

[@monicachuidian-riveracalderon]

Martika was a very underrated artist, real talent 👏

[@mikealfamike3293]

The 80's were coming to an end in style with this sound and visual artistry. Lovely song by a lovely singer.

[@lizzee3727]

Definitely the best version of this song, Martika’s best song off that album, in my opinion.

[@i8ricecake]

His name was Harold Pruett (1969-2002)...he was amazing on the dance circuit back then.

[@KarlEFC2024]

you can read my mind!

[@VanielDeeform]

RIP ✨

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

What happened?

[@SnazzyDetritus]

@@NITE_SHIFTING he O.D.'d back in 2002 at age 32. Probably heroin. Same old shitty story.

[@elisabetpurve2908]

Wasnt he also an actor? I think I saw him in some famous tv-show for teenagers.

[@stellacarrier8341]

The Way that Martika performs her love songs for instance this unique and expressive More Than You Know helps a music listener easily picture/imagine the music narrator's intense love emotions for the other person of whoever is the muse for this song.

[@georgecarroll8441]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. After 30 years it's still awesome.

[@Armand32]

one of my favs 80s song. Harold sure can dance. too bad he died young.

[@midu914]

Nobody has the balls to make music videos like this anymore.

[@iflutter38]

Back then there were Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and Martika that was the hit makers. These girls shows that you can be popular without having to flash your T&A to be popular

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Tiffany and Debbie were basically Proto-Disney artists.

[@Dizzy1980]

And later Tiffany and Debbie both posed nude for Playboy. :D

[@oldskoolmusicnostalgia]

@@WithoutRemorse12 Was never a fan of them either, not very fair to Martika to shoe-horn her into the same category. From this period I like Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde and Martika.

[@scottbrandts610]

And, Kylie Minogue, here in Australia. ❤️

[@iflutter38]

@@scottbrandts610 oh yes the divine Ms Kylie Minogue! 🙂

[@terrycharnley]

Thought I recognised that guy! He was credited as Harrison Pruett on the erotic vampire movie Embrace of The Vampire. I have also just read on other comments that he went by Harold Pruitt and that he died of an accidental drug overdose back in 2002. Damn it! That saddens me! Almost wish I'd never read these comments sometimes. Sexy actor and a great dancer on this. What can I say, RIP Harrison, (I knew him as Harrison).

[@chucktplatt]

Awesome song ! One of the first cassette singles I ever bought ! APRIL 1989 !

[@stellacarrier8341]

An 80s classic that ages like fine wine

[@cherrypickle8332]

I remember listening to this album on my Sony Walkman in my English class, when I should've been paying attention to the teacher. Ain't nothing like the '80s!

[@brianbozeman3020]

This was when music was great, this song still holds up 80's Music Rules🎤🎤🎤

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Has a Stock, Aitken & Waterman feel to it.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Back when writers and producers capitalize on what came before. Instead of doing experimental bubble gum pop. So they can call themselves "music geniuses" to newer generations.

[@Jasonhoods]

Ok boomer

[@Jasonhoods]

@@WithoutRemorse12 There is a reason very few pop artists from the 80's have more than 1 hit. I find a lot of it to be catchy but every generation has catchy music. In my opinion 80's pop is some of if not the easiest music to make. The members of a band should matter.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

@@Jasonhoods There were 50 media companies back then. Now there are 5 monopolies.

She could definitely make a blind man drool. Whatta hottie then and she still looks terrific even now at 45.

Harold Pruett dancing in this video of Martika was Georgeous RIP:) excellent dancer. love this video

I was completely smitten for Martika. I wish she hadn't faded so soon. She'll always be tops for me.

[@karlsmith2570]

Bill Vestal she actually had released some new material back in 2012 & as I understood it, she's in the process of making a comeback

[@tur74d56]

Karl Smith the mistake was after the second album she changed her name to a weird name with odd music , this happened when she married her husband , she said herself her mistake was not making a third album sooner around 1993

[@jesusbarraza9073]

lo escuche por primera vez en nov 1990 a todo volumen en la camioneta de mecanica de electranta pero no sabia como se llamaba ni quien lo interpretaba

[@raidernationcali]

do u know if he took dance lessons. dude had some moves. i know he was an actor.

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Back in the eighties it was cool for guys to have longer hair than their girlfriends and for girls to have shorter hair than their boyfriends.

[@ryanborder189]

So True-I was 19 in New York when this came out and my hair was longer than his!

[@unlikeavirgin]

Bring back simple pop songs where they don't use auto tune. Her voice shines here

This is such a great video. The more I watch it, the more I want to watch it. It's so well produced and directed. Interesting and fun to watch. The dude can dance! (so can Martika!) Love Martika's pale skin against her dark hair and red lipstick... gorgeous combo!

[@emj11812000]

i love that they had him dancing around, if love doesn't make you want to dance is it really love??

Hey martika can u share some harold pruett stories?

[@justmeonthebeach]

If there's a fire in my eyes It should come as no surprise to you If I've shown you once or twice How I feel it's because it's the truth (You know that it's true) Wanted to tell you so many times How I feel when you're with me Now that I found you I know that you are my destiny I love you more than you know This feeling's so strong inside I won't let you go I'm afraid to show it 'Cuz I don't wanna blow it I love you more than you know You know you've got me hypnotized But that's something I should hide from you If I feel so mesmerized It's because of the things that you do (The things that you do) I only wish I could read your mind So I'd know just how you feel Send me a signal Tell me your feelings are just as real I don't mean to put you under pressure But it's something that I can't control And though I'd give you the world if I could I'm afraid to let you know 'Cuz I don't wanna lose your love

[@ivon_reborn]

Song is sooo good that decades later it's still in mind. :) Glad that it's available.

[@1975azam]

I've heard this song once or twice before but I didn't know it was a Martika song(I thought it was by Madonna). This must have been her first hit song before Toy Soldiers.

[@Tornado1994]

More Than You Know was released in the Summer of 1988. Toy Soldiers came out late that year. Charting in early '89.

[@tht707]

I think not, "I feel the earth move" is from 1988, and I knew that, but not this one.

[@flairboy100]

Madonna?? Really???
