Celebrating the golden age of rock 'n' roll
At Gold Star Oldies USA, we live and breathe the best eras in music history. We spin the greatest hits from mid-sixties vocal groups through the high-energy seventies and eighties rock anthems. Our happenings page is where our community gathers to look back at the moments and melodies that shaped generations.
Happenings The Week Of October 23th - 28th
November 4, 1986 — Soul legend Jerry Butler ("For Your Precious Love," "He Will Break Your Heart") is elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners from his home district in Chicago, where he serves until 2018.
November 5, 1960 — Country and rockabilly star Johnny Horton ("The Battle of New Orleans,""North to Alaska") dies at age 35 in a head-on collision with a drunk driver near Milano, Texas, after finishing a performance at the Skyline Club in Austin. In an eerie coincidence, his widow Billy Jean's first husband, Hank Williams, had also performed his final show at the same venue just days before his death almost seven years earlier.
