Videos for "Lucille" and "In the Midnight Hour" are similar and shows B.B. King and his Band (Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin) during a performance in an Eighties nightclubs. Video made for "Into the Night" took place in a television studio and shows B.B. King with Jeff Goldblum.

King's life and art.
