AUGUST 24 |
ON THIS DAY IN 1981, THE ROLLING STONES RELEASE THE LP ‘TATTOO YOU’. THE BIG HIT FROM THE ALBUM IS “START ME UP,” WHICH THEY FIRST RECORDED WITH A REGGAE RHYTHM IN 1977. THAT VERSION WAS SCRAPPED, AND A MORE ROCKIN’ VERSION APPEARED ON ‘TATTOO YOU’.
TODAY IN 1975, QUEEN BEGAN RECORDING THEIR OPERATIC MASTERPIECE, “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.” THERE WOULD BE THREE MORE WEEKS OF VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL OVERDUBS BEFORE THE SONG WAS FINISHED.
SADLY, TODAY IN 2021, ROLLING STONES DRUMMER CHARLIE WATTS DIED AT THE AGE OF 80 IN LONDON. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE LEGENDARY ROCK BAND, WATTS BEGAN HIS NEARLY SIX-DECADE-LONG TENURE WITH THE STONES IN 1963
