Buggles - Video killed the radio star (1979)

The title sums it up. Are there any examples of someone not surviving the transition of radio to television or movies? Surely there was someone with an amazing voice and a face that would stop a clock.

Going just by the last sentence in the OP, Susan Boyle would seem to qualify.
