   BROADCAST BULLETIN (Daily Updates) 

 

September 7, 1936 — Buddy Holly is born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas.

                        1955 — DJ Alan Freed begins broadcasting his rock 'n' roll show over 50,000 watt AM radio powerhouse WINS in New York city, having recently moved from Cleveland, where his nighttime show was a sensation with youth. Among the first white DJs to play black music, Freed brings R&B music to a wider audience in New York, and the sound quickly goes mainstream. One of his first records is Ruth Brown's "Oh What A Dream."

September 8, 1955 — Chuck Berry does the duck walk for the first time in performance at an Alan Freed rock concert at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater. He had borrowed the move, along with some guitar riffs, from limber R&B guitarist T-Bone Walker, who began strutting it in the 1930s. Berry adopts the gait because his suit acquired wrinkles on the way to New York from St. Louis, so he keeps a crouch on stage to conceal them, improvising the step along the way. The crowd loves it, so Berry repeats it at the rest of the shows.

September 10, 1955 — Berry's first hit, "Maybellene," reaches its peak U.S. chart positions (#1 R&B, #5 pop).
                          1963 — John Lennon and Paul McCartney attend a Rolling Stones rehearsal in London, where the pair complete a song they were working on, "I Wanna Be Your Man," and give it to the Stones, who use it as their second British single.

September 9, 1954

 — Johnny Cash watches in the audience as Elvis Presley performs for the grand opening of the Katz Drug Store in Memphis, Tennessee, and afterward meets the rising star.

                   DJ SPOTLIGHT 

• • •               Early Beatles 

      1963 - The Beatles

      The Daily Mirror published a two-page article about The Beatles. Written by Donald Zec, the feature is entitled ‘Four Frenzied Little Lord Fauntleroys Who Are Earning 5,000 Pounds A Week’ Zec, who had attended a Beatles concert in Luton on Sept. 6 and then invited them to his home to complete the interview, referred to The Beatles' haircuts as ‘A stone-age hair style’. The article provided a major boost to their career.

      1966 - The Beatles

      The Beatles started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Revolver the group's ninth US chart topper. The title Revolver like Rubber Soul before it, is a pun, referring both to a kind of handgun as well as the "revolving" motion of the record as it is played on a turntable. Revolver expanded the boundaries of pop music, revolutionised standard practices in studio recording, advanced principles espoused by the 1960s counterculture, and inspired the development of psychedelic rock, electronica, progressive rock and world music. The album cover, designed by Klaus Voormann, combined Aubrey Beardsley-inspired line drawing with photo collage and won the 1967 Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts.

      2005 - The Beatles

      The 1967 Beatles track 'A Day In The Life' from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was voted the best British song of all time by music experts. The survey by Q magazine called the track "the ultimate sonic rendition of what it means to be British". The Kinks' song 'Waterloo Sunset' came second in the poll and 'Wonderwall' by Oasis was voted in third place.
