Just a bit of information about Sounds. It was the very first Rock Video show in the world. Before SOUNDS first show in 1974; no other music program dedicated three hours of air time to only rock video clips. Most music programs focused on live footage or in-studio performances. Donnie Sutherland, was pretty much the world's first VJ.
'SOUNDS' also launched the career of many aspring film-makers including Russell Mulcahy - who became a well-known film director ('Rambo', just to name one).
