JANUARY 3
JOHN PAUL JONES, FUTURE BASSIST AND KEYBOARDIST FOR LED ZEPPELIN, WAS BORN. HIS MUSICAL VERSATILITY BECAME A CORE PART OF THE BAND’S SIGNATURE SOUND.
IN 1970, THE BEATLES RECORDED “I ME MINE” AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS — THE LAST NEW SONG THEY WORKED ON BEFORE BREAKING UP. JOHN LENNON DID NOT ATTEND.
AND IN 2022 THE ESTATE OF DAVID BOWIE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HAD REACHED A DEAL TO SELL HIS SONGWRITING & PUBLISHING CATALOG ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH AROUND $250 MILLION DOLLARS.
