December 27
Happy Birthday to the guitarist, songwriter and bandleader of Foreigner, Mick Jones, who’s 76 today.
Today in 1975, Queen had a number one album for the first time, when “A Night at the Opera” started a two week stay at the #1 spot in Britain.
A couple more #1’s to note: On this day in 1980 John Lennon’s single “Starting Over” was #1 in both America and Britain, while in 1969 the “Led Zeppelin II” album was leading the American charts.
