Song Information and Trivia

 

 

 

August 12, 1940

The Will Bradley Trio records “Down the Road Apiece,” a boogie‑woogie number that reaches #10 on the pop charts. The song is later revived by artists such as Amos Milburn, Chuck Berry, Manfred Mann, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Rolling Stones. Its rhythmic feel inspires Henry Mancini’s “Baby Elephant Walk” for the 1962 film Hatari!.

Every Year it's National Vinyl Record Day, Keep the vinyl record alive.

 

August 13, 1952

Big Mama Thornton records “Hound Dog,” written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and scores a #1 R&B hit. A cleaned‑up lounge‑act version by Freddy Bell and the Bell Boys later influences Elvis Presley’s 1956 blockbuster rendition, which tops both the pop and R&B charts.

1971

Saxophonist King Curtis — known for hits like “Soul Twist” and for his prolific session work — is fatally stabbed outside his New York City home during a confrontation with two alleged drug dealers. Radio DJs across the country begin airing tributes almost immediately.
