Description

The Beatles "She Said So"/"I Feel Fine" Original Art Cel No. 72 for The World's First Music Video by John Lennon and Stephen Verona,1966. John Lennon met filmmaker Stephen Verona at a London nightclub in 1966. What came after their initial conversation was quoted: "The world's first rock music video." John sent Stephen a copy of the Beatles' new record. The groundbreaking recording sounded like "She Said So" then "I Feel Fine." So Stephen had a new name for the project. He created drawings trying to fit the music and compliment the lyrics. When John visited him at his apartment both of them worked through the night discussing and coloring in the cartoon images.
