Interestingly [[Eric Leeds]] and [[Atlanta Bliss]] are shown to play violins, rather than horns, as the (studio version of the) song does not feature prominent horns, but has (synthesizer) strings. A three-person string section is also on stage. The video furthermore shows three dancers, which are in fact [[The Game Boyz]]. They had also appeared in [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] and would later (in 1990) join the band for live performances. | Interestingly [[Eric Leeds]] and [[Atlanta Bliss]] are shown to play violins, rather than horns, as the (studio version of the) song does not feature prominent horns, but has (synthesizer) strings.
