In the 1920's the first link to a music video was released. However they were not used for promotional methods, they were shown in cinemas. The link between the music video and this is that this would be a silent film with an orchestra playing over them, creating a link between a visual image and sound. Bessie Smith in the 1920's starred in a short promotional film called 'St Louis Blues' which featured her songs. It was so popular it was still shown in the 1930's. This was seen as controversial as it showed drinking and blacks and whites mixing together.
