Today in Rock History with Chris DeCarlo

June 13 |  

The Beatles had their last #1 on the American singles chart today in 1970, “The Long & Winding Road.” McCartney reportedly hated the final version, with producer Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” treatment.  

In 1969, The Rolling Stones held a press conference in Hyde Park to introduce Mick Taylor as their new lead guitarist.  

And also in 1969, “The Crazy World of Arthur Brown” broke up during their second US tour. Their drummer, Carl Palmer would eventually move on to Emerson, Lake and Palmer the following year.
