Took a bit of searching:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v6MBHpzZg8

The CS80 is featured at about 2:30. It's definitely CS80 we're hearing too. However, all the Polymoog "Clavinet" in the song sounds like a real Clav, not the preset on the Poly!

Of course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4ychrRkQA !
Ironically, the "Rosanna" video features some unknown actress/model, while the real (and, IMHO perfect) Rosanna Arquette appears as Jenny in the video for Toy Matinee's "Ballad Of Jenny Ledge" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGMEIX1a5Y
I don't think that tune used CS80, but Kevin Gilbert was a pop/prog genius who I would bet used one at some point.


and of course Nina Hagen Band with Reinhold Heil playing the CS (there“s some "Rockpalast" footage... a punk band using a CS80?! That is pathetic...).

Not familiar with them. I'll have to check it out.
