A History of Sing Along and LaserKaraoke (Includes Hardware Demo)

My short documentary about the rise of karaoke (specifically LaserKaraoke) from my own first hand experiences with Pioneer's distributor of the technology back in the early '90s. From the origins of karaoke to the first steps of LaserKaraoke in Florida - I'll take you on a journey that ends with us looking at the "powerful" LaserKaraoke players from the early 90s that featured real time hardware based DSP (digital sound processor) karaoke "magic".
