Philip Bailey I KNOW

old video

[@curtis75black]

I love how he noticed his High School Sweetheart but chills and lets her notice him and when she does, she bugs out in shock. I always loved this video from when it dropped.

[@merseymasala]

I produced this. Directed by Jack Cole. First video to incorporate dialogue not on the record. Won a Billboard Video Music Award.

[@kim123792]

Wow! Are doing more videos.

[@merseymasala]

No, Jack is semi retired and I have been doing TV Special since the 90s.

[@MarkSkillz100]

Paul Flattery I remember when this came out. I showed this to someone yesterday who knows Phillip but doesn't remember the song. We were in awe of the cinematography, who wrote this?

[@merseymasala]

The storyline is taken from a Harry Chapin song "Taxi"

[@merseymasala]

The DP was Tom Grubbs, I believe.

[@elliotstiles9016]

This is when you have someone deep inside your soul that remains with you

[@MarkWilliams-eg4qd]

Great song. Phillip and his classic smooth vocals. The video also narrated a great love story. I KNOW. I can relate.😅

[@mrhoffame]

For all the modern day r/b artist..Take notes baby!!! This is how it is done! I can't believe I found this video again!

[@Ziggy2Gunz]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME TO MY FATHER. TALK ABOUT FINDING YOUR LOVE AGAIN. "WOW"

[@shanwrit]

I wanna go back to the 80's!

[@AliensRreal13]

Shannon Owens yes!!

[@laruejones6250]

Mee too

[@davidmoore2325]

Hi,how are you doing dear?

[@user-Hallz]

I was in high school when this came out and still love it today. Class of 1988 in the house!

[@tammylovelady3425]

1983 I I was 18 yrs in love now we have 41 yrs together I could not live my with out her . The wost I had of bro being murder and lost moms beside that. Could do it no more. Hope we go together when the lord ask for soul? THIS BRING THE BEST I EVER HAD IN THIS LIFE TIME.

[@lmervin]

I love this video. I don't want to sound weak, but it touches me deep down inside. The authentic high school photos make it "real" and not just a video.

[@tphillipgee987]

I know that Mr. Philip Bailey has always been a SUPERSTAR with a magical voice!! Thank you Philip!

[@joz411no8]

Remember when a groove was a groove, and when a video was an extension of the song?

[@joannehines7806]

I've always adored this video!! True love!!! 💘 🌹 😍 🌻 💘 🌹 😍 🌻 💘

[@lyndelljones5483]

Eugenia Wright was the woman in the video. She passed away of pneumonia just three years ago. She played in Penitentiary II and was on two episodes of The White Shadow. She worked in public relations after her short stint with acting. Rest in Peace Eugenia.

[@antij1]

That's so sad. Didn't know she had passed.

[@lyndelljones5483]

Yeah antij1. She was only 53 years and has a son.

[@antij1]

Aww.

[@arthro9259]

I used to have the biggest crush on her!!!!!

[@laruejones8039]

Rip

[@lyndelljones5483]

Cute video. Loved how she ditched the managers to be with the man she loved. So sweet.

[@karameldreem]

My favorite part is when she asked him Phillip Bailey do you still love me?

[@saejanus]

It's been more than 30 years, and this is still in my opinion, the best video ever! Great song, great storytelling!

[@revdrweathers]

Yes, it is one of the best story telling video's I've seen. I remember this video came out my senior year in high school

[@kevinsadler4791]

@@revdrweathers: Yes! To this day, this is One of my All-time Favorite Videos as well. And I was a Sophomore (10th Grade) when this first came out.. Loved it Then. Loves it Now.😁🖤🖤🖤😁😁 Mr. Phillip Bailey. Sir, You Are in My Opinion, Still ,One of thee "Baddest' Voices in Sweet Soul Music! GOD Bless You Brother!🖤🖤🖤

[@globalrsinc4305]

I still tell people that this is my favorite video ever!

[@KuttyJoe]

Powerful video and song. She kills me in the end when she says, "Philip Bailey, do you still love me". She has those eyes and that look that could stop the world at that moment. LOL So powerful. I love the concept of the video. She became a movie star. His career halted by an injury so he became a taxi driver. Life tore them apart but they still loved each other.

[@igortakesabride1139]

The happy ending Phillip REALLY got wasn't in the video's end - it was BEHIND THE SCENES AFTERWARD! wink wink :D

[@tito1981able]

I love this video, its kinda biographical..life goes on, but a man never forgets that special WOMAN. I KNOW what Phillip is singing about! This song cam out when folks sang about LOVE ya know!

[@FireitupBedford]

This was a time where you could relate to the song and or the video. Today the only way you can relate to a song you had to have killed someone or getting ready to shoot someone or treat a woman bad. Back in the day these artist sang about love and how to be in love. If anyone builds a time machine back to the 80's let me know I'll be the first one in line...

[@saejanus]

Philip Bailey, do you still love me? Woman, more than you'll ever know!

[@cedriclashar8905]

THAT'S THE BEST PART OF THE VIDEO...I USE THAT MY DAMN SELF😁

[@EastsideLo]

Hell...... yeah i still love 💘 U

[@janellarogers1117]

THAT PART!

[@Aramanth]

I believe this was the first music video to include dialogue. Still the smoothest song. Thanks for posting, great memories... ❤

[@ferronehicks8446]

this song is banging we don't have music like this today

[@wendellmckemey6867]

Freshman year in college. I ran the 100...9.2. Beautiful how she recognized him n both played it cool. The ending is always good, no matter how many times I see it.

[@theodessafiles]

Like I always said, he's a legend ❤️🌹❤️, he has the most beautiful voice, Wow... Philip Bailey 🌷, I Know...

[@717beachbum]

Years ago I used to waitress in a club that had a big screen for playing music videos. When this would come on, I had to stop and watch the whole thing. I love the story, especially the ending. . .so romantic. Tried to find this video for a long time, was so happy when I finally found it. Thanks for posting.

[@lildeedeeisdabest]

im a teen but i love this song...its amazing and i love and appreciate older music....to me music never gets old

[@reginaldstyles3129]

ONE OF THE BADDEST VIDEOS EVER, GREAT LOVE STORY AND THE ENDING IS BEAUTIFUL, THE SONG IS WONDERFUL BY PHILIP BAILEY!

@Reginald Styles this is kind of a real love story 4 me.

[@robertparker5442]

Damnn

[@phillycheez6288]

Anyone here after the legendary versus battle btwn Earth,Wind and Fire 🔥and Isley Bros 2021??

[@hazeleyes0408]

this was one of my favorite songs by him. too bad we really don't have music like this anymore. for me, being a true rollerskater this is the kind of music that we look for.

[@writerforlifeify]

+O. Valencia You might enjoy rollerskating to 'Mostly Mozart', a funky version of symphony #40, by Walter Murphy--the same composer who discofied Beethoven's 5th. There's also the British band Delegation, songs like 'You & I' will move your skates...guaranteed. : )

[@alvinfrazierTV]

I'm a skater and I love this tune. Never imagined hearing it on the skatefloor. Now you got me thinking. :-)

[@ebonyadams6100]

Right back when music was real

[@sonyaterry6039]

LOVE THIS SONG I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE FOUND IT.

[@davidmoore2325]

Hi,how are you doing dear?

[@bradfordlee7384]

🙌One of the true voices of the 70s, 80s & early 90s. What a wonderful era the last three decades before the Millennium were.🙌

[@keithcampbell3707]

MyMyMy this is how Real Music sound...thank you for the Memories Phillip Bailey

[@Melloooooo949]

Phillip baby do you still love me ..... more than you ever know.

[@rosavellemiller6244]

Philip Bailey Still Haven't Gotten The Credit For His Vocals On Hit Records. Especially When He Song With Earth,Wind And Fire !!!!

[@lfr30043]

Breakout debut single "I Know" Phillip Bailey ....always loved this song. thank you for posting this.

[@aleshascott2673]

I remember seeing this on BET when I was a little girl. I still love 💕 this music video.

[@Richard-tl9it]

A phenomenal singer and song ❤❤ it!!

[@dja-troit6608]

Man idk exactly what age I was as a kid when I use to hate hearing this song....and it seem like Donnie Simpson would play it on Video Soul every night.....now its 2022 and havent heard this since the early 80s and now Im a 48 yr old grown azz man shedding some tears watching and listening to this video thinking of my deceased mother....listening to music like this compared to what ive been listening to for the past 15 yrs definitely made me wish I would have had a better understanding and appreciate and respected more of the music back then

[@Richard-tl9it]

🎉Not taking anything from my favorite group earth, wind and fire , Phillip Bailey was definitely the voice of the group his high pitch sounds Really could get your attention. Group like 60s 70s 80s sounds Stylistic, Enhantment, Dramatic ,Blue Magic and many more power group ❤ that Era music Richard Shackelford

[@thomaslacey5213]

Takes me back to my childhood days, love them classics...

[@76grandprix]

Man....take me back to late summer of 1983.

[@allieg.1120]

He never gets accolades for his beautiful falsetto voice.

[@aleshascott2673]

39 years later I still love 💕 this music 🎵 🎶 🎼 video.

[@cutelittlecaramelkid]

This song was featured on his debut solo album "Continuation" in 1982. His second album, "Chinese Wall" was released in 1984.

[@greenlight6818]

This is one of the best videos, the story telling and emotion are GREAT!. The look on her face at 2:43 is priceless! In a big city the chances of running into a soul mate are low (Unless God puts you position). You know it was Love because she came back. Goes to show you that money is nice, but God/Friendship/Love will give you happiness.

[@richarddedeaux4383]

I love this song

[@richardagee4896]

Wow!!! this song is without a doubt the real deal. Dont stop believing in love! one love!!!

[@YoungoneYoung-lm4xe]

The part of this video I remember was he was sitting at a dimly lit counter outside somewhere singing.This is that video, so happy to have seen it and am now old enough to understand its meaning.👍👍

[@JohnMichaelHowcottProductions]

Great Song and Performance by Phillip - Love the Storyline - Feels Strong Like a Great Movie

[@anthonyboerio4955]

Seems like a bit of a take off from Chapin's "Taxi".

[@KuttyJoe]

I've watched this video a hundred times, but I never noticed until now that there's a crack in the glass of the photo at 0:12 running directly between Philip and the woman. A very nice touch to make this video into a story. The crack signifying that they split up. It ties in nicely with the story of this song. Very nice.

[@djslyych]

+KuttyJoe --good observation of that split picture--never wouldve guess that

[@the430movie]

OMG!!! I thought this was a forgotten song and video! People thought i was crazy when i had told them of this video... Explained it to a tee... They said it never existed! It just never made it in the charts... There were lots of great videos back in the 80's.... Hot tracks, Friday night videos, Rubix cube, atari 2600, Highland park handball + Basket Ball, running with the crowd, adidas, puma, nike.... What a time to be a kid.... what a time to be young.....

[@craigjackson2428]

A huge Philip Bailey fan. I was a big fan of this video when it first aired on VH1, MTV back in the early 80s. Being a airline enthusiasts, I enjoyed the classic United Airlines, trademark brand in the back drop at LAX.

[@reggiestarke437]

THIS was Philip Bailey's HOT Debut Song & Video as a Solo Artist that was Played on Hot Tracks in New York City, on Friday Nights in the Golden 80s, on ABC/Channel 7. I Wanted them to Play this Video Every Week; it was My Favorite.

[@KuttyJoe]

I love this song. I never saw the video when it was new. Looking back on it now it has so much meaning for me. And the video is excellent.

[@Richard-tl9it]

This song is timeless it's brings back memories Thanks Mr. Bailey!!

[@KuttyJoe]

This song and video are pure magic. Very special memories in this one for me.

[@mceasermcmc]

MAN I LOVED THIS SONG I REMEMBER CRUISING WITH MY CUZ IN HIS T-TOP CUTTLASS SUPREME WHEN WE BOTH FIRST HEARD THIS AND THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE RECORD STORE AND GOT THE ALBUM THAT'S RIGHT ALBUM.

[@jperez1910]

What a jam! Brings back so many memories

[@highplainsdrifter9197]

I was already a huge Philip Bailey fan, but because of my love for track & field, this song really hit me in the feels! Back then I was a junior in high school with BIG dreams of running in college and going to the Olympics.

[@keithcampbell3707]

One of my favorite vocalist and favorite song.

[@marshallmom1962]

All the memories in this song. Love it.

[@ceciliem1811]

I love, love, love this song and video! Philip, singing this song; pierced your heart and you knew that your misdirected love, would come back to you! Just hold on and keep living! I love him!!! 🎶💞🎶

[@karameldreem]

She has an identical twin who lives in Houston, Texas named Felicia Rutherford.

[@merseymasala]

I just read this and that is so sad. Not the only "character" in the video who isn't living still. One of the other taxi drivers was played by David Jove (aka David Sniderman)- another director I was working with - he died in 2004.

[@BAMMAX1]

[@merseymasala]

And the director, Jack Cole, died this year (2020).

Been looking for this video, I couldn't remember the name of the song. Thank you

[@wandermusic27]

I loved this song back in the day! However, Vaya(Go With Love) was also a favorite! This was from Philip's debut album "Continuation" produced by George Duke! Another Favorite from this LP was "Trapped"! That was a fantastic gem that was so outstanding! Vaya was up, but I don't see it any more! Please put it back if you can! Philip is such a dynamic singer!

[@aleshascott2673]

This doesn’t surprise me George Duke was an awesome producer.

[@karameldreem]

I remember watching this video back in the 1980's on BET! :) I love this song always will. @pooks 9584 I am sorry 2 hear about your loss your mother has a twin.God rest her soul may she Rest in Paradise .She was a beautiful woman her and Phillip Bailey made this video beautiful!

[@ecayari]

I remember watching this video in Switzerland when i was on summer break from college. I loved his voice and the song. Didn't realize that he was in my favorite bad EWF. Unfortunately, this song was overshadowed by Easy Lover where he worked with Phil Collins.

[@jamminace]

Thanks for posting. If anyone is interested, there's a seller on eBay that's selling this CD for less than $20. This is a must have!! And there's extended versions of 2 songs. Check it out!!

Hey, you ahve great taste! This came out the year I graduated high school. Great jam then...still is now. I'm very impressed that you know this and like it. Most of your generation just likes that ghetto rap crap. And you knew the woman's name....incredible!
