THE VIDEOS - "TRICKLE TRICKLE" (1958)

The Videos placed second at the Apollo Theater's amateur night contest, they were awarded a recording deal with Philadelphia's Casino Records. The tune they recorded at their initial session with Casino was "Trickle, Trickle," which did pretty well for the short-lived doo-wop group.

Before they were able to record a follow-up to their second release for Casino, "Love Or Infatuation," two members had died. One was lead Ronald Cussey, who had previously sung lead for the legendary Five Sharps on Jubilee. This marked the end of the Videos' SInging career

Ronald Cussey (d) (lead), Clarence Bassett (1st tenor), Charles Baskerville (2nd tenor), Johnny Jackson (baritone), Ron Woodhall (d) (bass).

Bassett also sang with the Five Sharps and later teamed up with Charles Baskerville and James Sheppard to form Shep & The Limelites.

A video is an electronic medium for the recording, copying and broadcasting of moving visual images

Video technology was first developed for cathode ray tube (CRT) television systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing the first practical video tape recorder (VTR). In 1951 the first video tape recorder captured live images from television cameras by converting the camera's electrical impulses and saving the information onto magnetic video tape.

Video recorders were sold for $50,000 in 1956, and videotapes cost $300 per one-hour reel.[1] However, prices gradually dropped over the years; in 1971, Sony began selling videocassette recorder (VCR) tapes to the public. After the invention of the DVD in 1997 and Blu-ray Disc in 2006, sales of videotape and recording equipment plummeted.

Later advances in computer technology allowed computers to capture, store, edit and transmit video clips.
