There is even some clear coding in this video. The producers put fit women in spandex in the video but the only one he directly interacts with is a spoof, a flabby old white lady in goofy sunglasses blowing bubbles at him. That decision, to avoid having him appear attracted to and attractive to hot women, clearly came from the artist. It is so out of sync with what was the norm in that era, no way anyone other than Carl would even think to include that.
This isn't evidence of anything re his sexual orientation. I've interacted way more sexually with women than anything in this video and I'm gay af. Zero attraction to women at all.

"None of the girls he met could cook like his mother"
"He always hoped to meet someone special, but the timing was never quite right"
Oh wait - I was talking about Lindsay Graham, but I guess those excuses probably apply to Carl too.
Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, but I still wonder why in 2025, some people still feel they have to hide who they are (that's really an indictment of the people who make them feel that way vs the social programming that makes them reflexively reach for the excuse pile above). And really, if Carl was going to be in a relationship with anyone, it should've been a vocal coach.
Never understood why he never came out of the closet. At this point in his 60s he’s only fooling himself. 63 and never had a girlfriend? Sure Carl…
And it's 2025. America is so open and accepting about all of this now.
Oh.... wait....
That doesn't mean anything. He could be an incel, have no game, scared of girls, insecure, little wiener, who knows. At 63 he might not care much anyhow
Cliff is a legend and seems nice...but has a very limited vocal range and isn't a great singer. - or dancer...
As for Carl singing...HOW can a man capable of preparation/training like few others in history...turn up and sing so poorly ? ...but it's a stupidly difficult song by the way. ...just ask Leslie Nielson. ...from Canada...

There was an American female long-jumper back in Carl's era who would probably have been a great match for him. Her name was Carol from memory.

...let's make it about you. ...anyway, re. Carl's music video...ever heard of a "red-flag" ?? ...let me guess..."objection...speculation" ... ...but I'm right.

That's not a 'flabby old white lady', that's Coach Telez in drag. ...put your goofy glasses on.
