According to Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five, the first 
music vid was created for one of DCVs early hits.  Oddly, 
the idea for an all video cable network was reputed to 
have originated with Michael Nesmith of the Monkees.  He
became an independent film producer after the band. For 
a really funny example of his work, troll around the 
vid shop for a release called "TapeHeads".   King Cotton's
"Roscoe's Rap" is awfully funny.
