Where it all began....

Bessie Smith 1929
Bessie created the first ever music video and shows a basic representation of what we see today.Bessie Smith - St. Louis Blues She shows the way a low budget music video can be effective in representing the artist, as well as the story line of the song.
Frank Turner displays a similar approach to a music video as Bessie Smith, focusing on the performance and a low budget music video. Frank Turner - I Still Believe
I love how simple and involved these performance based music videos make you feel. It's as if you know the artist and the band!
