Looking forward to watching this later!
Devo got lots of early play as they were among the few to make videos. Comedy-rock
group Blotto, from Albany, were among first to get regular play with I Wanna Be
a Lifeguard.
Music videos existed before but had names like soundies and promotional videos.
Rock artists did the latter and got play on various TV shows.Beatles Hey Jude was
played on David Frost and Cliff Richards shows in UK and Smothers Brothers in US.
It even begins with the Fabs, described by Frost as “the greatest tea room orchestra in the world” jamming on “By George It’s the David Frost Theme” by George Martin.
