Pop: The History Makers with Steve Blame MTV Music Video Week - Kevin Godley (legendary artist & video director) full length interview
This is Music Video Week and I am dropping three interviews in one week. All world-famous video directors. Geniuses who changed the world of MTV.
As someone who was a host on MTV Europe in its heyday, these are directors who changed my world.
Second Interview! Kevin Godley
Kevin Godley is one of the most creative and experimental people in the music industry. He was part of the 70s band 10cc which enjoyed world hits with I'm not in Love and Dreadlock Holiday. He went on, with partner Lol Creme to become Godley & Creme, not only a musical partnership but a video director pairing, who produced some of the greatest videos ever made e.g Herbie Hancock's Rockit.
This interview covers his life, 10CC, and his work with Lol Creme as an artist and as a video director, Their videos included Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel, Don't stand so close to Me - Police, A View to A Kill - Duran Duran, and Victims - Culture Club. Kevin has remained at the center of creativity, always leading and never following. He's a fascinating man, with an engaging story.
