Celebrating the Music Video

According to USA TODAY, the music video is approaching 85 years old! Musical short films were made by Lee De Forest in 1923-24, followed by thousands of Vitaphone shorts (1926-30), many featuring bands, vocalists and dancers. In the 1920s, the animated films of Oskar Fischinger (aptly labelled "visual music") were supplied with orchestral scores. To celebrate this milestone birthday, the Follett's could not wait any longer to unveil their first musical montage in the form of a music video. Click to enjoy!
