Ignazio Deddu's video: Night Ranger - Sister Christian

1984) The video of the song shows the band performing it, with guitarist Brad Gillis and bass player Jack Blades standing shoulder to shoulder. The other guitarist, Jeff Watson, is renowned for his 8 fingered tapping technique.[citation needed] However, he also played piano, and is shown playing keyboards standing up in this song (the song has 2 separate keyboard parts). The band's main keys player - Alan Fitzgerald - is shown seated, and plays the well-known intro. Although Kelly Keagy sings this song, bassist Jack Blades sang the majority of Night Ranger's songs. The plot of the video portrays a girl questioning her ascension into womanhood. In the end, she rejects the nuns and makes herself beautiful in a bathroom with her friends, and then gets in a convertible with rock band members. _______________________ Featuring ex-Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Brad Gillis and former Montrose keyboardist Alan Fitzgerald, Night Ranger was one of the most popular mainstream hard rock bands of the mid-'80s. The group formed in the early '80s in San Francisco; in addition to Gillis and Fitzgerald, the members included Jack Blades (vocals, bass), Jeff Watson (guitar), and Kelly Keagy (drums). After a few local gigs, promoter Bill Graham managed to get them supporting slots on Judas Priest, Santana, and Doobie Brothers concerts. Night Ranger's first album, Dawn Patrol (1982), reached number 38 on the U.S. charts, yet it was 1983's Midnight Madness that established the band as a commercial force. Featuring the AOR hit "(You Can Still) Rock in America" and the number five single "Sister Christian," the record peaked at number 15 and sold over a million copies. 1985's 7 Wishes was just as successful, reaching number ten on the charts. Night Ranger's audience began to diminish after 1987's Big Life. Fitzgerald left the following year and the band released their last album, Man in Motion, which failed to go gold or spawn any Top 40 singles. Night Ranger broke up the next year. Jack Blades joined the supergroup Damn Yankees, which also featured Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw. A reunited Night Ranger returned in 1998 with Seven. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
