Best Answer

8 track was created in 1964 by a consortium led by Bill Lear of Lear Jet Corporation, along with Ampex, Ford, Motorola and RCA Victor Records. **

Added to answer My research shows: The 8-track tape has roots that extend into the

motion picture industry. Endless loop motion pictures were made from

the 1920s on for advertising or other special purposes. With the

appearance of inexpensive reel-to-reel tape recorders in the late

1940s, several inventors adapted the endless loop motion picture idea

for use with the new German-style plastic recording tapes. Of these

inventors, only one, William Powell Lear, gets much attention Regards,
