"When I Think Of You" by Janet Jackson

File this one under 'Forgotten Favourites'; while conducting research* into which video to show for Janet Jackson's birthday some years ago, I encountered what had at one time been my favourite song of hers. Funny, isn't it, how things that once mattered so much sometimes have a way of slipping our minds...

The third of an amazing seven singles from her 1986 album Control - and her first number one hit - When I Think of You was written by the hugely successful songwriting team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and features an innovative video directed by Julien Temple.

"Love Will Never Do (Without You)" by Janet Jackson

Featuring the ample talents of birthday boy Antonio Sabàto, Jr. and Djimon Hounsou, it's Janet Jackson's Love Will Never Do (Without You), the seventh single from her 1990 album Rhythm Nation, and directed with trademark aplomb by the late, great Herb Ritts.
