The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Wrap It Up (1986)

The Fabulous Thunderbirds deliver a very good cover of the Sam and Dave hit from 20 years earlier.
From 80sxchange.com: "Wrap It Up" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds was the second single released from their 1986 album Tuff Enuff. It became the band's second mainstream hit after the album's title track made it all the way to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Wrap It Up" only surprisingly peaked at #50, but I do remember it receiving quite a bit of radio airplay in addition to the music video being in heavy rotation on MTV that summer.


The music video for "Wrap It Up" was directed by D.J. Webster who had previously done videos for hit songs Til Tuseday "Voices Carry" and Miami Sound Machine "Bad Boy" as well as working with Stevie Ray Vaughan's band Double Trouble as well as The Alan Parsons Project in the '80s. He went on to direct the 1990 film Dark Side of the Moon and then several of Amy Grant's early '90s music videos in addition to En Vogue "Don't Go".
