TODAY IN 1975, PINK FLOYD’S “WISH YOU WERE HERE” HIT #1 ON THE U.S. AND U.K. ALBUM CHARTS. THE ALBUM FEATURES THE TRACK “SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND” AS A TRIBUTE TO FORMER BAND MEMBER, SYD BARRETT.
IN 1980 QUEEN HAD THEIR SECOND #1 SONG WHEN “ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST” HIT THE TOP OF THE SINGLES CHART. EARLIER IN THE YEAR, “CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE” HELD THE TOP SPOT.
SADLY, TODAY IN 1970 THE MUSIC WORLD LOST A POWERFUL VOICE WHEN JANIS JOPLIN DIED OF A HEROIN OVERDOSE IN HER ROOM AT THE LANDMARK HOTEL IN HOLLYWOOD. SHE WAS ONLY 27 AND JUST FINISHED RECORDING HER SECOND SOLO ALBUM, ‘PEARL’.
