what is considered to be the first ever music video??

Answer 1

"Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. As far as MTV and worldwide exposure.

Answer 2

While the Buggles were the first video played on MTV, the history of the music video goes back much further.

In the era of silent movies, it was the common for the movie to be accompanied by a organist playing music. While most music was more of a mood-setting score, there were productions which included symphonic pieces, such as the "William Tell Overture," associated with the Lone Ranger. This style influenced later movies such as Disney's "Fantasia." (1940)

With respect to television, music videos began with live performances on shows such as "Ed Sullivan" and "Bandstand."

The first two pieces of work considered theatrical music videos, featuring the song without the artist performing it, would be between Tony Bennett's "Stranger in Paradise,"(1956) or Ricky Nelson's "Travelin' Man." (1961) Bennett's "video" featured the artist walking in London while his song played over the images. Nelson's "video" similarly showed images of the world mentioned in the Jerry Fuller song as Ricky sang.

That would make Bennett's the first "music video." Ricky Nelson's would be the first "rock music video."

Answer 3

The first music video ran on MTV was Video Killed the Radio Star....sung by the Buggles. My son was 4 at the time and he loved that song. he would run around the house yelling at the top of his lungs that "Video killed a star on the radio.' Well, he was only 4.

Answer 4

"Newly discovered evidence suggests the Big Bopper -- whose real name was J.P. Richardson -- is also the creator of the world's first music video.

Up until now it was assumed Ricky Nelson's 1961 "Travelin' Man" was the first music video, but the Big Bopper actually produced a music video as early as 1958.

According to Bill Griggs, editor of the "Rockin' 50s" music magazine, the Bopper not only made a video for "Chantilly Lace" in 1958 he even coined the term "music video" in a 1959 article.

Griggs says the Bopper was convinced that video was the wave of the future and, at the time of his death, he was preparing to start production on music videos for TV and a specially designed jukebox which would play videos."
