During the summer of 1989, Watley's "Real Love" video, directed by David Fincher, was nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards including Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction, Best Dance Video, Best Female Video, Best Editing and of course ... -- Best direction!
A year earlier David had already worked with Jody Watley to create a beautiful black and white video for "Most of All".
Towards the end of the 1980s Jody Watley ranked at the very top of female artists, alongside Janet Jackson and Madonna. While her rivals still have more or less a household name status, Jody Watley isn't exactly famous any longer. However, she still ranks as one of MTV Video Music Awards most nominated female artist of all time (according to Wikipedia).
