The Evolution of ♫ Music I
The Evolution of Music
Have you ever thought of how amazing it is that you can listen to any kind of music we like, whenever we want, wherever we want? All you have to do is press the play button on your mp3 player or ipod or phone. And voila! You can listen to the music play on your earphones or speakers.
Music wasn’t always so easily accessible though. Ever heard of vinyl records? What about cassette tapes? Do any of these terms ring a bell?
Music wasn’t always so easily accessible though. Ever heard of vinyl records? What about cassette tapes? Do any of these terms ring a bell?
Let’s take a musical trip down memory lane shall we?
Vinyl Records
- The first commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound was the phonograph. Although it used cylinders to record and play music, it was only good for one-time playback and the sound quality was terrible.
- 10 years later, the gramophone came into picture, thanks to one Emile Berliner. The gramophone used discs instead of cylinders. It too, underwent a series of changes spanning 60 years.
- It wasn’t until Peter Carl Goldmark invented LP vinyl records in 1948 that “albums” came into picture. This was a major milestone and Goldmark’s LP conquered the market for more than forty years.
Cassette Tapes
- In 1962, studios began recording using multi-track analog tapes, following the experiments of inventor and guitarist Les Paul.
- Soon, in 1963, Philips introduced the cassette tape, which became the most popular medium for music for several years. In the 70s, you could record your own tapes. And with the invention of portable cassette players, it seemed that cassettes were here to stay.
Compact Discs (CDs)
- In 1982, Japan introduced CD, invented by American inventor James Russell. The first CD to be released was Billy Joel’s “52nd Street”. Within 3 years, CDs took over LP records as the medium of choice. It wasn’t until 1999 that recordable CDs became available.
MP3 Players
- The MP3 players of today exist because of the digital audio player prototype designed by Kane Kramer way back in 1979.
- Companies like AT&T and SaeHan/Eiger came up with their own versions like Flash Players and MPMans around 1998.
- Apple took the world by storm, however, with its iPod in 2001. Today, MP3 players and iPods are commonplace, affordable options to store and play music.
Mobile Phones
- It’s interesting to note that cellphones with the ability to store and playback music also cropped up around the same time as MP3 players. The first mobile phone with this ability was the Samsung SPH-M2100, also called the Samsung UpRoar. And there’s been no looking back ever since. We wonder what’s next in the musical market.

Nicholas Brothers 🕺🕺 Best Dance Routine Ever
One of the Best Dance Routines Ever
80 + Years Ago
ONE TAKE * NO CUTS
THIS IS GENIUS!!!!
Here's a clip from the movie "Stormy Weather" (1943) featuring Cab Calloway
and his orchestra performing "Jumpin Jive". After awhile they let the Nicholas Brothers jump in and lend their feet to the action.

Comments:
- ahhoohphhtehh2: Check out the piano shaking under their weight at 3:00. Amazing they could maintain their concentration on an unstable surface like that.
- Konscious Girl: This was done in ONE TAKE - NO CUTS - THIS IS GENIUS!!!!
- Eric Olsen - Gregory Hines said if this sequence were to reproduced in a bio movie of the Nicholas Brothers, it would have to be completely computer-generated because no one nowadays would be able to copy this dance sequence.
- Fred Astaire said this was the best dance sequence ever filmed. That's hardly faint praise.
80+ Years Ago, One of the Best Dance Routines Ever Was Filmed on the First Take
Fred Astaire said it was ‘the greatest dancing he had ever seen on film’.
In a dance performance for the ages, the Nicholas Brothers, Fayard (1914–2006) and Harold (1921–2000), dazzled audiences with their acrobatic routine to Cab Calloway’s hit song, Jumpin’ Jive. Not only that, but the routine was unrehearsed and what you see was the first take!
The performance was from the 1943 musical film, Stormy Weather.
In 2001, Stormy Weather was selected for the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
