    I posed to "Solid" in the ANBC bodybuilding competition in 1984. Years later I met Nick at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT. I thanked him and told him it was because of his song that I won the contest. That video is on my channel here along with other videos some of which show Seaside Park. BTW, we both frequented Seaside Park.

And their real affection for one another showed through then, just as it does in this terrific video. Beautiful people (including the band and back up singers - all excellent), making gorgeous music. Thank you, dear Nick and Valerie.
