JANUARY 7
TODAY IN 1972, DAVID BOWIE RELEASED “CHANGES,” A SINGLE FROM HIS FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM, ‘HUNKY DORY’. OFTEN CONSIDERED TO BE AMONG HIS BEST WORKS, THE SONG WASN’T A HIT AT FIRST, BUT OVER THE YEARS IT BECAME ONE OF THE SONGS THAT DEFINED BOWIE’S CAREER.
ON THIS DAY THREE ALBUMS WERE CERTIFIED PLATINUM FOR HITTING ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD; BOTH LED ZEPPELIN’S “IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR” AND FOREIGNER’S “HEADS GAMES” IN 1980 AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR, IN 1981, THE EAGLES “LIVE” WAS AWARDED PLATINUM STATUS
AND FINALLY, NIRVANA PERFORMED THEIR FINAL CONCERTS IN THE U.S. IN 1994 AT THE SEATTLE CENTER ARENA ON JANUARY 7 & 8
