Michael Jackson with Janet Jackson: SCREAM

Back in August of 2014, a Forbes magazine writer reported this music video featured below to be the most expensive music video in history, costing $10.3 million adjusted to 2013 value, factoring inflation, from the time the video was made in the 1994/1995 with it's then $7 million budget. However, in a 2010 story on National Public Radio, or NPR, director Mark Romack disputes that most expensive video claim for Scream. On NPR he states, "I'd love to state again for the record that Guinness got it wrong and it's not the most expensive video ever made. There are two other videos of the era — both produced at Propaganda Films, incidentally [a hugely successful music video production company that Romanek worked with] — that cost millions more."

Regardless of it's price, it was exciting to see Michael and Janet work together and it was and still is exhilarating for Jackson fans.  This is a true classic.

Turn this up loud. This song was designed for that won the Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video.

Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar (Live TV Performance 1971)

Here is a tasty take of The Rolling Stones performing Brown Sugar for a April 22nd 1971 BBC TV performance for a show called Top Of The Pops. This was not a lip sync. The band performs live. The video below features interesting factoids about the song.

The Rolling Stones and Eagle Rock Entertainment are on the hunt for the rest of the classic footage from this date. They also performed Wild Horses and Bitch, but the footage is missing, for now.

What defines Classic? Nneka and her classic song titled Africans.

In music and with regards to this brand "Music Television", what defines use of the word "Classic"?

When this playlist Classic.MusicTelevision.Com music video playlist started, it reached back in time to when there were only rabbit ears on TV sets. Joni Mitchell performing a song she wrote around the time of Woodstock. Crosby Stills Nash & Young in 1969 playing an outdoor concert on a cliff at Esalen in Big Sur, California.

But, there are other songs that define "Classic", that do not date back to the 1960's, 70's or 80's. For a song to be a "classic", must it be well known? We don't necessarily think so. In this new spirit, here is our first post to feature a classic song that was released after the year 2000 began.

Nneka's song titled Africans, first released in Europe in 2007, is an important, and now classic song by this amazing gem of an artist who practically personifies spirits of Bob Marley and Fela Kuti, in her own way and with her own mark. Nneka is also an old classic soul in a vibrant younger artist's body. Her songs, like this one below, have legs and have a classic sound that shall not perish with time.

She personifies the independent voice and rebel spirit that challenges the status quo.

There is no better way to describe Nneka than to simply say she has "it".  "It" is intangible and elusive.  What separates her music from others who have a great sound & groove is that Nneka's songs say something when you least expect it.  They weave in and out from love songs into geopolitical humanitarian statements. Her songs make one think. That is a classic concept in music that that far too many modern artists are lacking.

Joni Mitchell - Woodstock + Big Yellow Taxi (Live Filmed Performances)

In the first video below, Joni Mitchell performs Woodstock, live on BBC's In Concert in 1970. She tells the story of how she wrote the song for Crosby Stills Nash & Young.  It was released on their Déjà Vu Album. As someone who loved the entire Déjà Vu album, including Woodstock, it was cool to learn this Mitchell's Woodstock was the only song on Déjà Vu not written by a member of the band. To hear Mitchell cover it on piano is a great treat. Her demeanor and her voice have such genuine purity that, with rare exception, seems to hardly exist today in music.
