Bing Crosby used to be the biggest star in the world back in the 1940's and his fans were able to see him in films such as "White Christmas" in 1954. He was also in TV shows such as his own series "The Bing Crosby Show" that ran between 1964 & 1965.
Frank Sinatra replaced Bing Crosby as the worlds biggest star during the 1950's. His fans were able to see him in films and concerts. When he was in concert, girls would scream all the way through. He was the first artist to create this atmosphere among the audience.
Elvis Presley was the most popular musician on the planet for many years in the 1950's and 1960's and his fans were able to see him on TV and he was in films too.
The Beatles soon became the most popular musicians in Britain and found themselves leading the charts in America with the single "I want to hold your hand". This then sparked the tours of America for the Liverpudlian band and they were the first British singers to really make it in America. They were the first people to make a music video, when they had the idea of miming to a song in their studio in Hampstead Heath. They mimed to the song Paperback Writer, and Rain. These were hugely successful videos made because they were tired of going all over the world to be seen perform.
Please analyse The Beatles Pop Video with regard to Goodwin. This was the first one ever. How far does it create the rules that others followd?
