Official HD Video for "Games People Play" by The Alan Parsons Project
`Games People Play' was the second single from the Alan Parsons Project's 5th studio album The Turn Of A Friendly Card and was released in 1980. The song peaked at number 16 in the US charts and has remained one of the APP's most popular singles ever since. Lenny Zakatek was chosen to sing the upbeat song about the dangers of gambling and can be seen in the video alongside APP stalwarts Stuart Elliott on drums, David Paton and Ian Bairnson on guitars. APP founder and songwriter Eric Woolfson (on keyboard) and producer Alan Parsons (at the mixing desk) also appear in the video. The title came from a psychology book of the same name, which Eric's wife Hazel was reading at the time.

If you like this song and are not familiar with the Alan Parson's Project, do yourself a huge favor and take a deep dive into their legacy! They remain my favorite artists from a time when true masters of the art abounded. Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons together made music like Bach and Beethoven would have if they'd lived in the 1970's. Pure genius, and pure ecstasy to listen to!

They're one of my favourites; being a toddler when this came out had everything to do with it. Eye In The Sky and You Lie Down With Dogs (I liked how the sound is different when they sing "you're gonna get something but you do what you please" like it's done with a cheaper mic or something. Kid me loved the effects. So basically it was the synthesizers, the notes they use that have that cool late 70s early 89s flair, and vocoder use like in The Voice. (On the inside of the jacket of Tales of Mystery and Imagination, it states that the vocoder can only be found at Abbey Road!)

Agree. Unfortunately they never got the recognition in the UK that they got in other countries. In fact it wasn't until Sirius and Eye in the Sky that the British public started to sit up and take notice - largely because Sirius was just an awesome piece for introducing spectacular events and was widely used. Some science documentaries in the late 70's did use some of the material from I'Robot but generally the band was ignored by the mainstream music industry and radio which was more interested in promoting punk. I went to a special audiovisual screening in a cinema on the release of Pyramid in 1978 and was hooked. Thankfully, the rest of the world took them seriously and they went on to great commercial success in Europe and South America. My personal favourite albums were Turn of a Friendly Card and Pyramid.

My list would include Lenny (doubtlessly), Colin Blunstone (The Zombies), and Terry Sylvester (The Hollies). Add Gary Brooker (Procul Harum) into the mix, and it quickly becomes a veritable free-for-all, which only speaks volumes about Alan’s knack for selecting high-caliber talent for The Project...
