Birthdays today include Harry Mills of the singing Mills Brothers . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDm_dZX_y8

(Trivia: in 1930 the Mills Brothers made broadcasting history when CBS's Bill Paley listened
to them by a telephone hookup and liked them so much he put them on the air in their own show,
the first black people to have their own network broadcast show. Paley also put them on opposite
NBC's smash Amos 'n' Andy, wondering if four honest-to-God black men could knock a pair
of white humourists doing blackface off the top of the radio heap. The Mills Brothers became stars,
but they weren't quite enough to take Amos 'n' Andy down. At the time, nobody was.)

. . . Billy Henderson, a founding member of the Spinners who stayed with the group until 2004 . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ4-FClrBtw

. . . Viv Prince, drummer for the Pretty Things, who played on their earliest recordings before his
apparent wild antics proved too much even for that wild and crazed bunch . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOImKEcnwf4

. . . Barbara Mason, R&B singer . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JGPcOkebXc

. . . Kurtis Blow, the first rapper to sign with a major single and have a certified gold record . . .

   The speakers on my PC went out last week and my new ones don't arrive till Friday, just explaining my absence of late.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Piggy-backing a few more songs on "This day in history" per Rock:

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/

1959, Four members of The Platters were arrested after a gig in Cincinnati after being found with four 19 year old women, (3 of them white), in various stages of undress. The scandal resulted in radio stations across the US removing Platters records from their playlists.

1970, top album in the UK was by Simon and Garfunkel, the title song from that album was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a46WJ1viA

2008, Isaac Hayes passed away:

We usually don't post the "this day in history" part but this is all interesting.

Changed "Wednesday" to "Thursday", so now we should be fixed.

Many recorded "by the time I get to Phoenix" after Glenn Campbell, it became a bit of a standard. I always liked this version.

That's my favourite version of that song.

The story is that Hayes was playing a gig at a Memphis club when he got the idea to play that song
and do a monologue hanging on that one chord and bass line about a love gone wrong, and the
crowd ate it up so much he decided to record it.

Meanwhile, happy birthday to Claude Thornhill, the jazz bandleader whose 1940s band was a kind of incubator for such talents
as Miles Davis and Gil Evans  . . .
