History of Music videos

In 1894, publishers Edward B. Marks and Joe Stern hired various performers to put a series of still images together on a screen, simultaneously to live performances. These were known as 'illustrated song' which was a first step towards music video.
Between 1926-1959, technology was starting to advance which lead to many musical short films being produced and consumed via things such as 'talkies'. The first ever music video, was supposedly shot in 1956 by Tony Bennet, with his song 'Stranger in paradise'. This was then followed up a sequal svideo, starring famously known Elvis Presley.  Music video became publicly known in 1980s!
Majority of the videos were called promotional vdieos
