The last edition of magic music video moments featured Michael Jackson. This time, it’s all about his younger sister, Janet!! Janet was a huge star in the 1980s (and she still is🍋) and influenced many artists who came after her. The video for her song “The Pleasure Principle” is perhaps her most influential music video, which some claim began a new era for Janet and spawned a genre of rehearsal themed music videos.
