Karaoke (カラオケ?, a portmanteau of Japanese kara 空 "empty," and ōkesutora オーケストラ "orchestra")[1](English pronunciation: /ˌkæriˈoʊki/; Japanese: [kaɽaoꜜke] ( listen)) is a form of entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (and/or a music video) using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known pop song minus the lead vocal. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol or changing color and/or music video images, to guide the singer.

http://www.pocketsongs.com/MainPages/karaokehistory.asp
In 1950, before Karaoke Music was invented, a firm new to the just- introduced world of the long-playing record, LP as it came to be known, released the first sing-along recordings in this new medium. The label, Music Minus One, while specializing in classical repertoire, had at the head of the company a fervent jazz fan, and in the company's second year, in 1952, he recorded three different all-star rhythm sections performing great standards of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.

| Carry on Karaoke
http://www.carryonkaraoke.com.au/karaoke-history.htm
The word ‘karaoke’ comes from ‘kara’, empty (as in karate – empty hand) and ‘oke’(short for okesutora), orchestra. Rather than including both vocals and music, karaoke tracks only have the music. The vocals are provided by a live person (not a professional) who holds a microphone and sings while following the words displayed on a screen or in a book.
