Here are 15 artists with one classic video, from A-ha to Johnny Cash.
While Herbie Hancock’s status as a jazz and fusion legend was long established by the 1980s, to much of the MTV generation he’s likely remembered primarily for the innovative Godley & Creme-directed clip for his 1983 electro hit “Rockit.” Set in a suburban home full of robotically controlled dummies, paper maché heads and disembodied legs, the visual was equal parts creepy and funky, the perfect accompaniment to Hancock’s eerie, slamming instrumental.
clip in 1991, but nonetheless, “Cry” scored Godley & Creme three nominations at the 1986 Video Music Awards, including one for video of the year.Perhaps the most famous one-video wonder of the MTV era, A-ha’s “Take on Me” shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the defining hits of the ’80s, in large part to its Steve Barron-directed clip, which blurred live action and animation for an action-packed fantasy romance tale that had something for everyone.
One of the purest examples of MTV making stars out of an act with little to no radio success, Jamiroquai never even hit the Hot 100 with their jazzy pop-funk single “Virtual Insanity,” but still remain a crucial part of mid-’90s pop culture for the song’s video. The clip featured frontman Jay Kay dancing around a room of seemingly moving furniture — in reality, it was the room itself that was moving around the sofas — to represent the song’s lyrical themes of navigating a frightening future.
