Terius Nash (AKA sex-crazed sanger The-Dream) released 1977 as a way to be free from label restrictions in order to create and pervert as he saw fit. The video for “Long Gone” is an extension of that freedom, a black-and-white cinematic mish-mash of gritty performance shots, roses, and people breaking up on a car. It’s an R&B Fellini flick if we’ve ever seen one (and we’ve seen tons). Check it out below.
