MORE THAN A MAN music video by Debbie Allen & Phylicia Rashad. Taken from "The Debbie Allen Special" (1989), sisters Debbie and Phylicia dance, flirt, and wreak havoc in the streets of New York City. It's a rare chance to hear Phylicia sing, Debbie rap, and see these talented sisters perform together.
Norm Nixon and Ahmad Rashād also appear. Original version of MORE THAN A MAN appears on Debbie's solo album "Special Look"

The girls better be glad these two didn't release a full album. They weren't even trying here, just goofing off, and they sound better than most "singers" in the business currently.

Same here. Just think......if there was no KZfaq or internet, we still would not have seen all of the content we didn't have exposure back in the day. We did not get cable until about '88 or '89. So if the artists did n ot come on Friday Night Videos, Soul Train or an awards show, I did not see their performances. And oh yeah, Word Up and Right On magazines were my internet. Lol!

Oh My GoD! I have never seen this before. These are two of my all time favorite television and film stars how I have never seen this I will never know. These two sisters were the Queens of NBC. Debbie from the show FAME which she starred, Choreographed and directed. And if you don't recognize Phylicia from The Cosby Show take a second look. Both have been on Broadway as well, one very talented family! Thank you for sharing this with us.

I never saw this either until today, 10/22/23. Thank God for KZfaq! There's so many videos and interviews that I never saw growing up because we did not get cable until about '88 or '89. By that time Rap had taken over so a lot of the 80s content was not being shown. Plus, even with cable, there were only so many platforms for videos, interviews, etc. to be shown for artists.

That's what I I'm thinking. I love them; but what the hell were they think here 😂 This is terrible. The music is horrible. The dresses and hair are so 80s. Phylicia is singing like she's on Broadway instead of singing a pop song; and the mix is terrible. But did my girl Debbie bust a rhyme at the end. 😂
