Lest we forget:

The below links seem to all splash one group today.
It is interesting; historically:
1948, Columbia Records started the first mass production of the 33-RPM long player. The new format could contain a maximum of 23 minutes of music per side versus the three minutes that could be squeezed on to a 78 RPM disc. -

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_todayhttp://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays.phphttp://www.thisdayinmusic.com/There are likely 50 songs or more, one could make the highlight here with this first artist who needs no introduction, so I'll just stay simple here with one song for the first highlight. Anyone can feel free to add in their favorite. I've pursued listening to Sir Paul's music and probably still haven't heard over half of his solo work.

1953, Born on this day, Jerome Smith, guitarist, KC and the Sunshine Band, (1975 US No.1 single 'Get Down Tonight', 1983 UK No.1 single 'Give It Up'). He died on August 2nd 2000 after being crushed by a bulldozer he was operating.

Leaving artists if others want to post their music, I decided I was getting all of the good ones.
Ricky Gazda of Southside Johnny and the Jukes, bassist Carl Radle of Derek and the Dominos also were born on this day.
