On January 24, 1959, the Big Bopper gave a visionary interview to Disc magazine in England.  He mentioned that these songs that he filmed should be recorded on “video tape” – similar to the tape used in recording studios for audio recordings.  He also thought that jukeboxes should have a television screen to show tapes like these for viewing.  He even spoke of a “video attachment” for home television sets that could not only play video tapes like these, but could also be used to record favorite television programs.  All this more than 50 years ago!
