Seventh Avenue The Love I Lost

By the time this came out, Seventh Avenue had changed lineup four times since the AVI days of Midnight In Manhattan. They were the first Boyband ever to present a sexy, somewhat homoerotic image. The Love I Lost was a major release in the USA, on Atlantic records, and very big on the Billboard dance charts, so it was decided by my colleagues, particularly Paul Tams, against my better judgement, to tone down the sexy image and make a more wholesome video. The problem is it never got edited, and although shot in 1987, it was just left in pieces, till I put it back together in 1999. It s not wonderful by any means, but the song was a biggie, so I went to all the trouble of tracking down all the footage that was originally shot. It goes without saying that the record was a hit High Energy version of the old disco classic by Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes.
