Patti Austin - The Rhythm Of The Street

Back in the mid 80’s, I played an extra in this music video, which was filmed in Strawberry Mansion here in Philadelphia. This video will always be special to me because me and my friend Felicia were in this video together. Me and Felicia have been friends since we were infants. Felicia died in 2000 and I went on an search for this video. I approached a Video DJ at Woody’s in Center City Philly and asked him if he had the video and could he make me a copy. The next day I got a call, he said that there was a copy of it at the front desk of his apartment building and I should pick it up. I was so happy to finally get a copy of the video in my hands. When the video starts, going up the steps into the mansion, Felicia is dancing at the top of the steps in a flapper like outfit. What great memory with my special friend.
