January 25th Rocks!


Of course,
EVERYDAY ROCKS in the
 EVOLUTION OF ROCK ‘n ROLL…

On this date in 1938, Sister Etta James hit the planet…






In 1958 Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” hit the UK Charts at NUMBER ONE!!! Nobody ever entered the UK Chart at #1 before this one…







Keeping with the jailhouse theme, in 1960 Mr. Sam Cooke recorded “Chain Gang” on this date…







Then came The Beatles!



On January 25, 1964 the Fab Four scored their first (of 25) best sellers when they went to the top of the Cashbox Magazine music chart with “I Want To Hold Your Hand”….






It was also on January 25 (in 1969) That The Beatles recorded “Two of Us”  “For You Blue ” and “Let It Be” …

And dig this!

On January 25, 1975, The Carpenters managed to score a NUMBER ONE hit by covering THE BEATLES’ cover http://youtu.be/-pvt2YK88MI?t=1m10s of the MOTORCITY SWEETHEARTS’ (The Marvelettes) monster hit
