  • Original MTV VJs Martha Quinn, Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman take a trip down memory lane to relive the best '80s music videos and share behind-the-set secrets only the coolest insiders would know. MTV started on Aug. 1, 1981, forever changing music history. The channel launched a slew of iconic music videos, from the first bars of “Video Killed the Radio Star” to Cyndi Lauper’s “unusual” debut in “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the MTV world premiere video of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The original ’80s MTV VJs were there every step of the way. Where are the original MTV VJs now? Right here on AARP, remembering the biggest '80s music videos.

    I met Alan Hunter at LAX back in 89' after arriving from Austin Texas. The crazy part was before leaving Austin I met Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother in the airport terminal on there way back to LA to check out a new studio they were considering and Steve autographed a shirt for me I bought at the airport gift shop. When I ran into Alan I thought I new him from high school then I realized recognized him from Mtv I asked him to autograph my shirt as well a long with Steve Ray and he felt he was not worthy I immediately reassured him with, "you're one of the Original VJ's...!!! He autographed the shirt and I still have it till this day. It's very possible I'm the one that coined the phrase "Original VJ" that day Sam I am ; D

    OMG that's so funny about the Hungry Like the Wolf video, that Simon wore the fedora to cover up a bad dye job. Soon after the video's debut, we Duranies started to wear Fedoras en masse, as a collective fashion statement. To this day, I never go anywhere without my red Fedora--especially when my own dye job is in dire need of freshening!

    Ok, loved seeing all the original MTV VJs reacting to popular videos from MTV glory days but sad to see the shortest comments were about Duran Duran who were the king of music videos back then. Them and Michael Jackson, but Duran Duran were the first ones making huge popular videos.

I love this song but she had soooo many better hits in the 80's - La Isla Bonita, Live to Tell, Like a Prayer, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Crazy For You, Oh Father.....to name a few

    Why are you giving the face of RACISM in the 80s a platform? Every time I see these tools … I just am reminded how racist America was (is) …. Thank you David Bowie for calling it out …. But as a young 13 yo blk kid in a predominantly white town.. I did not have positive memories of early MTV …
