Worst or best 80s synth-pop duo ever?! 1987 talent show San Diego, Tapestry Blu

Описание к видео Worst or best 80s synth-pop duo ever?! 1987 talent show San Diego, Tapestry Blu

Move over Tay Zonday and Keyboard Cat, this may be one of the most magical music clips you'll ever see online. A spellbinding performance featuring duo Tapestry Blu, with Nicholas De Herrera AKA Niko a velvet virtuoso on Yamaha DX7 keys and the fabulous falsetto of William (who goes by the French pronunciation, Guillaume) performing "My Heart's in Rapture" in November 1987 on a San Diego TV talent competition called Rocket to Stardom, a segment on the local TV variety show Stanley Tonight. Note that Guillaume is in such rapture himself that he doesn't even notice the stagehand walking between him and the camera at 1:25, now that's a true showman! Stick with it all the way to the jaw dropping finale, I guarantee this will be the most awesome and inexplicable thing you'll see on the internet this week. We're told Tapestry Blu were very popular in the late 80s coffee house/gallery scene in San Diego. Are you still out there, Guillaume and Nico? If anyone knows how to contact either one of these wizards, please contact music at San Diego Reader dot com, we want to write a feature article!

BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded between from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
