Video killed the classic star









Ray Charles
Frank Sinatra
Elvis Presley
Billy Holiday
Edith Piaf
We all know these people. Magicians in their work, they created music that spoke to the world. They were not loved, adored or idolized specifically for what they wore. There was no world-wide televsion or glossy magazines telling people what they should think of these people. There were no half naked pictures of female singers--trying to seduce the public into believing that they were infact good singers.
No.
Marked only by their talent and passion for making music...in comparison to some of the stars of the music world today....the stars of the century passed performed, sung and lived on a more authentic and real level.
