January 16th, throughout the 1950s and 1960s, turned out to be a pretty great day in
The Evolution of Rock ‘n Roll.
The Evolution of Rock ‘n Roll.
For instance on January 16, 1956, The Cadillacs reached #17 on the charts with the classic “Speedo”
One year to the day later a new music venue opens its doors in Liverpool, England. The Cavern Club opened as a Jazz club and The Quarry Men first played there seven months later--Four years after, they would return as The Beatles...
On January 16, 1959, a young cat from Memphis--Bobby "Blue" Bland--hits #2 on the R&B chart with the Duke Records release "I'll Take Care of You."
On that same date, a few years later (1962), a group out of Philly--The Orlons--reached #4 with "Don't Hang Up".
And it was on January 16, 1965 that "Too Many Fish In the Sea" by the Marvelettes charted at #25.
JANUARY 16, NOT A BAD DAY IN THE EVOLUTION OF ROCK ‘N ROLL…
