New York Hot Tracks with original commercials | 1984

[@robindew9072]

84 what a great year. I graduated from High school. The 80s were the best decade ever. Best music and movies and tv shows.

[@MoneMedia]

aw had to be cool to be a teen in 80s.

[@MorrisB1971]

​@@MoneMediait definitely was. Think about those memories everyday

[@nesoldier74]

I grew up in Brooklyn NY. Friday night we stayed up to watch hot tracks. We would turn between channel 7 to see hot tracks and Friday night videos on channel 4 to see who was hosting and what new videos were playing.

[@anthonywright3132]

Wow! Loved watching NY Hot Tracks on Friday nights back in the 80's when I lived in New Jersey as a teen. Great times.

[@MoneMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mrmacfilms1]

Indeed bro!!

[@errolthomas9426]

New York Hot Tracks was simulcasted on WKTU 92.3 FM while Friday Night Videos was simulcasted on WAPP 103.5 FM before it was later simulcasted on Z 100(WHTZ 103.5 FM) during the time of when it was being aired on NBC-TV Channel 4. Such great times to be a youngster back in the 80's.

I was still a baby in 1984, and I was too young to remember New York Hot Tracks, nor I watched the show. But, thank you for posting this episode, nonetheless. R.I.P. Carlos De Jesus

[@jeffrey5165]

I was born in 83” (same yr New York Hot Tracks came out) but I remember it well because my dad use to tape several videos from that program. First time I’ve seen videos from Prince, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Shalamar, Luther Vandross and my first exposure to rap music as well like The Fat Boys and Run DMC. Hot Tracks played many videos that MTV refused to play at this time (more than half the roster catered to Post Disco, hip-hop, and R&B fans). Anyone that didn’t have BET or cable back then relied heavily on Hot Tracks.

[@drummingdanny84]

Me, too.

[@ArtelMiller-f5i]

Wow talk about nostalgia,.. I was just a little guy, around 3 in a half to 4 years old my mother use to watch New York Hot Tracks and i would be up wide awake watching tv right underneath her while she would be sipping on her old English can beer through a straw in a brown paper bag... One thing I will say is that the commercial with Michael Jackson was truly a memory back through time when they had showed the beat it and thriller pics

[@MIXPRO68]

YOU ARE THE MAN-THIS WAS MY EARLY TEENS GROWING UP IN NEW YORK-THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!

[@retrobrahhh]

You post the classics. Nothing like the 1980's and television back then was warm, inviting, fun. Nothing like today. Nostalgia is too much to handle sometimes but I keep watching.

[@vsmokethon]

I was real young watching this show late Friday night. It came on after Friday night videos on nbc, hot tracks came on channel 7 at 1pm. Living in brooklyn in the era music drown out the gun shots and drug crack heads making noise in the streets , well that was on my block. Music was just good back then. I miss the 80’s so much. Rip to the celebs in this show . FYI Michael Jackson, Madonna and boy George ruled the 80’s

[@Brando-Chicago]

Wow..hot tracks….Damn you had to be a late night champion to stay this late and catch this show.!! Only the real Ones know about this show!! 🔥🎧

[@hdjksa52]

@@Suave_TheArtKartel Dude, I lived in Coney Island, Brooklyn and my cousins lived on Linden Boulevard in East New York. "I want my MTV" was just a catch phrase. In my previous statement, I was trying to say that MTV was already out for years and it was popular. Back then, U68 on UHF also played music videos. I am 47 years old now; I remember watching _New York Hot Tracks_ on the weekends with my brother. You're comparing a video show with a video channel, they are not the same.

[@wiscorpio72]

Thanks for uploading this episode, I appreciate it. I actually love the commercials, especially the girl at the beginning. Hot Tracks was where I heard of Pamela Stewart, I love that song. You left out some videos: Laura Branigan, Billy Joel, maybe for copyright reasons or courtesy, you couldn't include those. I do ask for the closing videos, can you please upload them all the way through to the Broyhill advertisement, Clothes For Carlos furnished by, the logo big in size, and the syndication music? That is all part of the nostalgia. You might be able to upload closing videos with credits because the closing videos were always cut. I'm also looking for The Great Record Album Collection and The Record Guide. They played 5 popular videos and closed with an obscure video, a tease with credits and the video cut off. After videotaping those, if I would see the whole video later, I would be blown away. Record Guide closings got me into unknown and alternative music. Please upload The Record Guide if you can too.

[@MoneMedia]

I can try and see, I never heard of that in my life. I'll do some research and search. I'll get you posted.

[@wiscorpio72]

@@MoneMedia I found a commercial of The Great Record Album Collection so you can see what it looked like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXaXc62Zed-shqM They used a spinning vinyl for the chyrons, then in 1985 changed it to The Record Guide and used a spinning CD instead. I still wonder if Hot Tracks ever played Duran Duran, even when Nile Rogers produced Notorious in 1986. Milwaukee was between syndication contracts then so I didn't get Hot Tracks for a year. Duran Duran really brought a hip hop influence in 1996 covering White Lines by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, but Hot Tracks was long gone by then. And Hot Tracks had so many videos to play, they had priority to play NYC artists, club videos. If they threw on the 1983 rock song "Der Kommisar" a year later, I don't see why not Duran Duran, could have been record company reasons.
