Most of the time he and his sometime fiancee/duet partner, Lauren, sang covers (I remember "Through the Fire" distinctly). Every summer, Danny had a big concert that would inevitably be dedicated to some social issue that his girlfriend Cricket had found herself involved in. They would devote the entire hour to the concert, usually with some criminal activity being attempted and ultimately foiled somewhere backstage. It was the highlight of my August.

Although I distinctly remember seeing "Sacred Emotion" being skewered by Beavis and Butthead ("this looks like that beer commercial where they open the bottle and it starts snowing..." huh-huh-huh...).<br><br>One thing I will say is I've always enjoyed Jody Watley's videos, and a DVD compilation is WAY overdue!!!

The remix is totally overwrought, but the visual is surprisingly non-dated (unlike the patent-leather excess of Watley's 4 premier vids.) Props to Jody for the fashion-pop merger; that's much of her legacy, the hybrid sound great-dress great, style that George Michael and others went on to ape. Every other tune featured on this Chart Attack is laughable, but "Real Love" remains the real deal. This Jody vid, one of Fincher's inaugural quick-edit opuses.
