What do you take from this video? This is my take anyways.
At first I didn't understand why a young man was flirting with a much older woman saying he loved her but then I noticed when they changed scenes from the diner to them dancing I noticed that she turned young again. Before the scene you can see her reminiscing to the past when she wss young. That's when it hit me that maybe he was her husband that passed away? I know I'm a hopeless romantic but I think that is real sweet if I am right?

wiki is my go to and it says this
A romantic ballad similar to many of Kool & The Gang's later releases, the song features as its main subject the eponymous girl named Joanna. In the group's music video, Joanna is portrayed as the current owner of a small, roadside café named Joanna's Diner. The video was filmed at the Colonial Diner in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and the Colonial sign can be seen briefly outside in the opening seconds of the video. Throughout the video, she serves the band members as both cook and waitress as they serenade her, and the video occasionally flashes to her younger days as a dancer at the Cotton Club in Harlem who is in love with the character portrayed by James "J.T." Taylor, the group's lead singer.
