Since 1970, John has continually released promotional music videos, beginning with "Your Song" and only sporadically releasing videos thereafter. It was not until Visions, a release that included music videos of every song from his 1981 album The Fox, as well as the rise of MTV, that he began to release videos more frequently.
John had usually appeared in his music videos, but after 2001, John began appearing less and less in his own videos, sometimes opting to have other actors, such famous names as Justin Timberlake ("This Train Don't Stop There Anymore") and Robert Downey, Jr. ("I Want Love"), lip-synch the lyrics.
