Music video

In 1987, a claymation music video was produced by Aardman Animations. Aardman Animations were approached by Charlie Records who owned the back catalog rights to many classic R&B tracks. In the late 80's, classic R&B charted at the lower 100 on the charts and sometimes the owner would spend some marketing money on a song hoping to kick it into the top 20.[3]
