June 7, 1954:
With Big Joe Turner's
"Shake, Rattle and Roll" riding high on the Billboard R&B chart…
The Motor City's Bill Haley And His Comets enter Decca Records' New York studio to record the same number. Haley's version will enter the Pop chart next August for an amazing 27 week run and rise to #7, becoming the first Rock and Roll tune to sell a million copies…
June 7, 1958: Prince hit the planet…
June 7, 1976: The Ohio Players hit #1 with
"Love Rollercoaster"…
June 7, 1994: Grace Slick is sentenced to 200 hours of community service and four Alcoholic's Anonymous meetings a week for three months, after being convicted of pointing a gun at police the previous March…
And THAT is a “slow day” in
THE EVOLUTION OF ROCK ‘n ROLL!!!
