Set Me Free Why Don't You Babe

I can just picture today's music video producer screaming - wind! Give me more wind! Today's windy video is a song originally sung by The Supremes, but that wouldn't be 80's would it? So, here it is changed up a little bit with some 80's flair and groove sung by the british Kim Wilde... it's her only U.S. #1 hit - "Keep Me Hanging On"...
