Lisa Loeb
Lisa Loeb's "Stay (I Missed You)" made history. She was a completely unsigned artist when the song hit #1 on the Billboard charts, a first in music history. The key to her success was this music video, directed by her friend and neighbor, Ethan Hawke, who championed her song for the movie Reality Bites. The film's director, Ben Stiller, initially rejected the song. Ethan Hawke shot the video specifically to convince him to include it. The iconic cat-eye glasses Loeb wore in the video became her signature look and are now part of the collection at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The entire video was shot in just a few hours on a single afternoon in a friend's empty SoHo loft apartment.
