Good stuff. Never heard of scopitones or Sonny King until now. Wikipedia says there's a scopitone here in Nashville, I'll have to go check it out.

Actually, Scopitones were video-jukeboxes that ran 16mm film clips. There are lots of 'em out there on the intarweb-hopefully more will be posted here on teh siftorz.

This one is absolutely gorgeous, the film has faded and the background has taken on a beautiful, lavender hue, and when was the last time, if ever, you saw a music video done in one, long, continuous take? It's like the Copacabana scene from Goodfellas!

"The original music video machine, the Scopitone, had many great 50's and 60's stars who were popular in Europe recording their classics into the format, leaving us, some 40 or 50 years later with great video footage of them lip-synching to their music!"
