Not only was the a video for the song, this was a performance one, in what was horrible weather for same. With the roof of Olympic Stadium open. Hence, it was freezing when this was filmed. This was also the song that introduced the world to the Yamaha GX-1 Synthesizer, an analog one which was able to recreate, in greater detail than before....horns, strings etc. Again...this was an analog machine, which would set the stage for those made by Roland, Hohner, ARP, EMu, Korg, Oberheim, Kurzweil Music Systems......even Moog synthesizer would make similar machines.Predating the good digital ones by at least 10-15 years. Also....this was the version that Aaron Copeland loved. Many of the other versions that have been released were....well true to form.Put another way......square. But AC dug the fact there was a jazz and rock middle bridge in same.
