Do you remember when the video for The Way was popular on MTV? Although I was not a fan of MTV, I enjoyed the excitement of seeing the video rise to the top of the list.
When was the last time you watched the video of The Way? If it’s been a while, you now have the chance to see it again. ENJOY!!
Always loved this video, so sweet and so is Clay.
It has been a while. I love The Way. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
Love the video for "The Way." It's always been one of my favorite Clay songs and still is! 🙂
Clay's video is so tame compared to what is now being presented as a music video! I always felt that Clay was not comfortable performing in this venue. Of course, Clay's vocals are outstanding as usual.
it sure has been ages since ive seen the way video from clay and when i watched that video oh iloved it that song has been the song that ilike
