Presley had recorded the A-side 'That's o | | Alright' four days earlier. | | o o | | 09 Jul 1955 Bill Haley & His Comets went to No.1 on the US singles | | o chart with 'Rock Around the Clock', staying at No.1 for o | | eight weeks and becoming one of the biggest selling | | o singles of all time. o | | | | o 09 Jul 1956 After the June 30th trouble at Asbury Park, Bill Haley o | | and His Comets were denied permission to play at the | | o Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. A city ordnance was o | | passed that read: "Rock and roll music encouraged | | o juvenile delinquency and inspired young females in lewd o | | bathing suits to perform obscene dances on the city's | | o beaches." o | | | | o 09 Jul 1958 Johnny Cash signed with Columbia Records, where he o | | would remain for the next 30 years releasing over 60 | | o albums. o | | | | o 09 Jul 1962 Bob Dylan recorded 'Blowin' In the Wind' at Columbia o | | Recording Studios in New York City during an afternoon | | o session. Dylan originally wrote and performed a two- o | | verse version of the song, as in its first public | | o performance, at Gerde's Folk City on April 16th, 1962. o | | Shortly after this, he added the middle verse. | | o o | | 09 Jul 1965 Otis Redding started recording sessions at Stax Studios | | o in Memphis, Tennessee, for what would become his third o | | studio album 'Otis Blue'. The album mainly consists of | | o cover versions of other R&B and soul artists' hits, o | | and was recorded in a 24-hour period. According to the | | o drummer, Al Jackson, Redding wrote 'Respect' after a o | | conversation they had during a break in the recording | | o session, in which he told Redding: "You're on the road o | | all the time. All you can look for is a little respect | | o when you come home." o | | | | o 09 Jul 1967 On a US tour supporting The Monkees, The Jimi Hendrix o | | Experience appeared at the Convention Hall, Miami, | | o Florida. After it became plainly apparent that the o | | group is not suited to teenybopper audiences, the | | o tour's promoter Dick Clark and Hendrix's manager Chas o | | Chandler concoct a story saying that the conservative | | o Daughters of the American Revolution group had o | | complained at Jimi's act and so the Experience left the | | o tour after just six shows. o | | | | o 09 Jul 1968 Tammy Wynette was at No.1 on the US Country singles o | | chart with 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E.' Written by Bobby Braddock | | o and Curly Putman, the song is a woman's perspective on o | | the impending collapse of her marriage. The lyrics | | o begin with an old parenting trick of spelling out words o | | mothers and fathers hope their young children will not | | o understand, they (the children) being not yet able to o | | spell or comprehend the word's meaning. The original | | o Tammy Wynette recording features in the films 'Five o | | Easy Pieces' and 'Brokeback Mountain.' | | o o | | 09 Jul 1969 Working at Abbey Road studios in London, The Beatles | | o recorded 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.'

The character of Ziggy was | | o initially inspired by British rock 'n' roll singer o | | Vince Taylor, whom Bowie met after Taylor had had a | | o breakdown and believed himself to be a cross between a o | | god and an alien. | | o o | | 09 Jul 1972 Paul McCartney and Wings played their very first show | | o in the small French town of Chateauvillon. The band o | | included Denny Laine, Denny Seiwell, Henry McCullough | | o and Paul's wife, Linda. It was McCartney's first time o | | on the road since The Beatles quit touring in 1966.
