Research into early Music Videos

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video is another promotional video that took the world by storm.
Often referred to as the greatest music video ever and has also been voted the most influential pop music video of all time, "Thriller" proved to have a profound effect on popular culture and was named "a watershed moment for the music industry" for its unprecedented merging of film making and music. Guinness World Records listed it in 2006 as the "most successful music video", selling over 9 million units. In 2009, the video was inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, the first music video to ever receive this honor, for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant.
