OCTOBER 30
TODAY IN 1971 JOHN LENNON HAD THE NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN BOTH THE U.K. & AMERICA WITH “IMAGINE”. IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE AMONG LENNON’S BEST SOLO WORKS WITH SUCH ENDURING SONGS AS THE ICONIC TITLE TRACK, “JEALOUS GUY,” AND OTHERS.
ON THIS DAY IN 1998 ALL FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF BLACK SABBATH MADE THEIR FIRST TELEVISION PERFORMANCE IN TWENTY-TWO YEARS WHEN THEY PERFORMED “PARANOID” ON LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
AND IN 1999 SANTANA STARTED A THREE-WEEK RUN AT #1 ON THE U.S. ALBUM CHART WITH ‘SUPERNATURAL’, GIVING THE GROUP THEIR FIRST CHART-TOPPING ALBUM IN 28 YEARS. IT FEATURED THE #1 HIT “SMOOTH” WITH ROB THOMAS OF MATCHBOX 20 ON VOCALS. THE SONG WAS AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS, REACHING NUMBER ONE ON THE US BILLBOARD HOT 100 FOR 12 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS.
