Answer 2

The answer to this will depend largely on what you mean by "music video". There are a number of predecessors to the music videos we know today, the most direct of which is probably known as the Scopitone, which was a type of jukebox that played 16mm video clips produced by the musicians to accompany their songs. The first of these appeared in the late 1950s in France and one of the earliest videos to appear on a Scopitone was "Les poinconneur des Lilas" by Serge Gainsbourg. Color-Sonic was a similar video jukebox machine made in the USA in the 1960s. One of the first videos featured on the Color-Sonic was Ricky Nelson's "Travelin' Man".

While it may not have been the first music video ever made, the first music video to appear on MTV (the first channel devoted to music videos) was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.
