History of Music Videos



One of the earliest examples of a music video was St Louis Blue’s – Bessie Smith, it came out in 1925, it starred blues singer Bessie Smith. It was a short film, it featured a dramatized version of his song.









In 1940 Disney released a film called 'Fantasia', this was iconic for music videos, because the whole film was based around classical music. The music used was fairly famous at the time.
