40 years ago this week, "On My Own" by #PattiLaBelle & #MichaelMcDonald reached the top spot, replacing "Live To Tell" by #Madonna after one week. The coordination between the two scenes in the video is impressive. Motion control cameras were still pretty new, so I think this might be done by hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsH63qJlIMM #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

"On my own" - Patti LaBelle and Michael MacDonald
Written by pop royalty Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, recorded an ocean apart, expertly blended.
Love that both vocalists get to showcase their talents without ever competing with each other. Please take notes, "The Voice"!

"On my own" - Patti LaBelle and Michael MacDonald
Absolutely killer song, written by Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, recorded by two of the greatest soul vocalists of the era,
Our singers in the video both have floor-to-ceiling windows (a shorthand signifier of great success), but their relationship has foundered and failed.
The song was recorded in two separate takes, expertly blended - the first use of this technique on a big hit.
