April 29, 1944 — R&B and rock 'n' roll progenitor Louis Jordan's "G. I. Jive" enters the music charts, becoming his third #1 R&B record (for six weeks) and crossing over to #1 pop (for two weeks), his first appearance on that list. Jordan's discs hold the R&B record for the most time at #1, an astounding 113 weeks.


April 30, 1930
