This was my second video using a lot of motion picture footage, the first being "Hit The Road, Jack" by Ray Charles. I still was used to still images though, so for the next few
years both still image and motion pictures would be used together in my videos. I also began to experiment more with changing the visual appearance and with transitions. Actually it worked out pretty good, but I eventually would not do anything but motion picture. Still, maybe I should try the combo thing again in the future, it would probably look a lot different this time around.
Back then it was hard finding free motion picture footage. These scenes were almost all from a place called Bottled Video, but they eventually began to charge for their material ... and frankly they were rather limited with what they had to offer. Eventually I would discover Internet Archives, still in service, and a film library called Stage Vu (which was later taken down). These are real time models doing the dancing, not filmed but acquired digitally. Same with the crowds.
The song was one of the best to score a hit in 1973 (at #6). A true summer favorite, especially this long version.
