History of Pop Video From Bing to Beatles

History of pop video

From Bing to Beatles


Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby was the biggest star in America and Europe. For fans to see him he stared in a film named “White Christmas” seeing him in a film was the only way for fans to see him because back then there was no music video for people to see.

Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was the replacer of Bing Crosby. He followed the same step as Bing Crosby as he featured in films and hosted many TV specials in order for fans to see him. As exciting as he was back then frank Sinatra was the first pop artist that girls screamed for.

Elvis Presley
In the 50’s Elvis Presley was introduced and also what came with him was an earthquake named rock and roll. The fans saw Elvis on Television as well as seeing him star in films. In the late 50’s Elvis Presley was not allowed to be seen performing on television. Elvis Presley also hosted concerts in the USA. However as he entered the 60’s he had fallen back because of The Beatles however he made a comeback by changing his style with his famous white costume. Eventually even with the style change The Beatles crashed his party.

The Beatles
Music back then was dominated by America however The Beatles came and by 1966 they became the biggest act in the 60’s. By the time they got to 66 they were very tired of performing on tour because in their concerts there was far too many girls screaming which made their voices not being heard as much in their live performance. Further on they tried many different ways to promote their music eventually they was successful because they ended up appearing on BBC. One of their biggest tours was in America where they performed at Shea Stadium. When touring in America they managed to break every single pop record made in America. In their due to the amount of people they had to move into much bigger venues. The Beatles also made two films. In 66 The Beatles made 2 new singles (Paper Back Writer ad Rain) and films then sent them of to be on television so their fans can see them on television. The two films that where made was made within a day.
