  • I Want My MTV!, Part 1

    Virtual (Zoom)

    Class Schedule: February 11, 18, 25, 2027 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

    Part one explores the beginnings of music videos, from Fats Waller’s 1940s “soundies” to the Beatles’ promotional films to the Monkees TV series.  By the 1970s, countries such as Australia and England aired TV shows featuring promotional film clips, with Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” illustrating the genre’s early creativity. Michael Nesmith saw the potential of these programs in the US, helping to create what became MTV.
