OCTOBER 6
TODAY IN 1967, THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE WERE RECORDING SOME SONGS FOR THE BBC RADIO SHOW, TOP GEAR, WHERE THEY RAN INTO 17 YEAR OLD STEVIE WONDER. THEY JAMMED— WITH STEVIE ON DRUMS—FOR TWO SONGS.
IN 1969, GEORGE HARRISON FINALLY GOT THE ‘A’ SIDE OF A BEATLES SINGLE, WHEN THE BAND RELEASED “SOMETHING.” BUT HE STILL HAD TO SHARE–IT WAS ISSUED AS A “DOUBLE A SIDE” WITH “COME TOGETHER.”
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KEVIN CRONIN, LEAD SINGER OF REO SPEEDWAGON, WHO TURNS 74.
