Classic Music Television is pleased to present Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and the music video for the song titled Mary Jane's Last Dance, starring Kim Basinger as the corpse of Mary Jane. The song was recorded in July 1993 and released in November 1993 by MCA Records. The director of the music video was Keir McFarlane.
Classic Music Television presents Johnny Cash and his music video to a recording he made of a song written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails titled Hurt.
Co-produced by Rick Rubin and released on Rubin's American Recordings label, Cash co-produced and recorded this for his album titled American IV: The Man Comes Around, which was his 87th studio album and the fourth and final album of his American series, a four album series of mostly cover songs. The album was released on November 5, 2002, two months after he died on September 12, 2003 at age 71.
Mazzy Star will forever be famous for the cult classic hit song titled Fade Into You. And like Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin, there is no person named Mazzy Star. It's a group.
The heavenly voice behind Mazzy Star is a beautiful Latina from East Los Angeles, California, named Hope Sandoval. Hope Sandoval has always had a special rare mystique. With no pomp or circumstance, she has always had the ability to cast a spell as she simply stands in front of the microphone and sings.
The black & white music video below was directed by Merlyn Rosenberg and was released internationally.
Classic Music Television is proud to present the official music video to the song titled America by Prince from his 1985 album titled Around The World In A Day. The above photo was the album cover for the America single when it was released.

Classic Music Television is proud to present Eva Cassidy. She was a great unknown guitarist and singer while she was alive. She mainly performed cover songs, beautifully.
Not long after the show in the films below, she was diagnosed with cancer that killed her less than a year later. Eventually the films made it around and she gained big fans and has sold millions of recordings, post death.
Below are restored films of Eva Cassidy, originally recorded on a single handheld camera, as you will notice with no cuts/edits, by her friend Bryan McCulley, performing at the Blues Alley jazz supper club in Georgetown, DC. These were all shot on the 3rd of January, 1996. These are among a very small batch of the only recordings she is known to have made. Enjoy!
A true classic, the live film below is of David Bowie performing Suffragette City in concert at the Hammersmith Odeon (presently known as Eventim Apollo) on July 3, 1973, in London, England.
The above photo is from The Ziggy Stardust Companion website, where more about that particular show is featured at this link.
