JULY 12
ON JULY 12, 1962, A NEW ROCK GROUP WAS MAKING ITS DEBUT AT THE MARQUEE CLUB IN LONDON. THIS GROUP WAS LED BY A SKINNY KID WITH BIG LIPS, AND TOOK ITS NAME FROM THE LYRICS OF A MUDDY WATERS SONG. THAT BOY WAS MICK JAGGER . . . THE GROUP, THE ROLLING STONES.
IN 1969 BLIND FAITH MADE ITS FIRST AMERICAN CONCERT APPEARANCE. THAT GROUP INCLUDED ERIC CLAPTON AND STEVE WINWOOD. A YEAR LATER IN 1970, JANIS JOPLIN PERFORMED WITH HER NEW GROUP THE FULL TILT BOOGIE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS THIS GROUP THAT BACKED HER ON HER BIG HIT “ME AND BOBBY MCGEE.”
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE CHRISTIE MCVIE, FORMERLY OF FLEETWOOD MAC. SHE WAS BORN TODAY IN 1943
