MAY 7
ON THIS DAY IN 1998, STEVE PERRY OFFICIALLY LEAVES JOURNEY, HONORING AN AGREEMENT MADE WITH NEAL SCHON AND JONATHAN CAIN THAT THEY WOULD REFORM THE BAND WITHOUT HIM IF HE WAS NOT ABLE TO TOUR. PERRY IS EVENTUALLY REPLACED AND JOURNEY CONTINUES TO TOUR.
TODAY IN 1973 PINK FLOYD RELEASE “MONEY” FROM THEIR ICONIC ALBUM ‘THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON’. IT QUICKLY BECOMES THE BAND’S FIRST HIT IN AMERICA, REACHING #13 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 SINGLES CHART.
AND IN 1977, THE EAGLES HIT #1 ON THE U.S. SINGLES CHART WITH “HOTEL CALIFORNIA”, THEIR 4TH SINGLE TO REACH THE TOP SPOT.
