Composers Jean Marie I'aine Leclair (1697) and Anatoli Liadov (1855) were born today. But you don’t care about that.
Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded "Perfidia" today in 1940.
In 1964, Dusty Springfield made her U.S. television debut on the "Ed Sullivan Show."
Jim Morrison (Doors) incited a riot during a Chicago concert in 1968. Isn’t that wonderful.
Today the Rolling Stones produced their very first recordings. Among them were "Come On" and "I Wanna Be Loved" for the album "Out of Our Heads" in 1965.
Today in 1969, The Turtles and the Temptations played the White House upon the request of Tricia Nixon. Mark Volman fell off the stage 5 times. (It’s only a rumor)
Eric Clapton recorded "I Shot the Sheriff" today in 1974. And they haven’t caught him yet.
In 1975, Stevie Wonder and his band Wonderlove played for 125,000 people at the Washington Monument as part of Human Kindness Day.
Metallica began recording the album "Kill 'Em All" in New York, today. They finished on May 27, 1983.
The Go-Go's broke up today in 1985.
Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) (upper left)was given an honorary doctorate degree in music by the Berklee College of Music today in 2003. What do you think about that?
And in 1975, Apple Records was dissolved.
I know, I know. I couldn't resist.
The Profile(more than you really wanted to know)is here.
Lost GalleryThe rescue mission for battered and abused orphan photographs.
Yes, that's not clear. I think it should read that the Beatles dissolved their association with the record label at that time. The business managed to keep going without them. (Including some fun lawsuits with Apple Computers.)
