On this day in 1970, John Lennon wrote, recorded, and mixed his new single “Instant Karma” all in one day at London’s Abbey Road Studios. Phil Spector produced the effort with George Harrison on guitar & Billy Preston on piano.
Today in 1971, David Bowie arrives in the United States for the first time, not to perform because of work permit restrictions, but to do a series of interviews. He creates quite a stir by wearing a dress to many of the appearances
And today is birthday #79 for drummer Nick Mason of Pink Floyd. He and Roger Waters formed the band in the mid-60’s.
