As you know from time to time I dip into the 80's country sector. Music videos weren't as common in the early to mid 80's as they were for pop performers, but towards the end of the decade country musicians started putting together some videos especially with the incarnation of Country Music Television in 1983 and particularly as its viewership spread. In 1989, Alabama, which dominated the 80's, had four country number ones from its album "Southern Star." Here is one such song and video. It's the black and white to color video of the song about the poor southern man's struggle during The Great Depression. Here is Alabama with "Song of the South"...
