November Music History:
1954, 50,000-watt Memphis radio station WDIA bans airplay on a list of singles deemed to have suggestive lyrics … included are the Drifters' "Honey Love" together with Hank Ballard and the Midnighters' "Work With Me Annie," not to mention its follow-up platter, "Annie Had a Baby" …
1955, Etta James (who scored a hit with the answer song "Work With Me Henry" in response to Hank Ballard's "Work With Me Annie") is joined by fellow rhythm and blues stars The Five Keys, Gene and Eunice, The Clovers, and Big Joe Turner in the first-ever R&B show to play New York's Carnegie Hall …
1960, Ben E. King, former lead singer for The Drifters, records his first solo numbers, “Spanish Harlem” and “Stand by Me” … the songs will climb to number 10 and number 4 respectively on the pop chart, and “Stand by Me” will prove to have long legs …
1962, the first Motown Revue featuring the label's top breadwinners including Stevie Wonder, The Miracles, The Temptations, The Supremes, and Martha and the Vandellas debuts at Washington, DC's Howard Theater … the tours will become a significant part of owner Berry Gordy's master plan to rule the pop music universe …
1963, a year and 22 days after he played to an anemic crowd of 53 ticketholders at the Carnegie Hall Annex, Bob Dylan enjoys a sellout crowd in the venue's main room …
1965, The Who release “My Generation” as a single …
1971, rock loses one of its brightest lights when guitarist Duane Allman dies in a Georgia motorcycle wreck …
1975, much to the chagrin of both news magazines, Bruce Springsteen makes the cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week …
1991, legendary rock promoter Bill Graham attends a Huey Lewis and the News show in Concord, California, where he gets the band to agree to perform at a benefit concert for the victims of the 1991 Oakland firestorm … he returns to his helicopter, but is stopped by the News’ bass player Mario Cippolina, who, in a flash of clairvoyance, urges Graham to take a limo … after being reassured by the pilot, Graham decides to take the flight … moments after take-off, the helicopter’s rotors become entangled in power lines and the craft plummets to the ground killing Graham, his girlfriend, and the pilot … .....meanwhile, on this same day down in Mexico, three members of Pink Floyd are injured in an auto race when their car plunges down a 230-foot embankment … guitarist Steve O'Rourke suffers a broken leg, David Gilmour receives blows to the head, and drummer Nick Mason, though injured, continues the race …
1992, Boyz II Men tie Elvis' record when their single "End of the Road" logs its 11th straight week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart … The King's "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog" was the last record to have such staying power …
1995, at Vatican City, Gloria Estefan performs for Pope John II as part of the celebration of the pontiff's 50 years in the priesthood … she is the sole pop act invited to the event …
2004, during a call-in talk show on San Francisco radio station KGO, shock-jock Howard Stern tears into FCC Commission Chairman Michael Powell whose agency had previously issued big fines against Stern and the stations carrying his broadcasts for indecent on-air remarks … Stern accuses Powell among other things of getting his government gig by virtue of his father Colin Powell’s pull as US Secretary of State …
2005, Jefferson Starship performs at a ceremony to name a 600-seat amphitheater in San Francisco after the late Jerry Garcia … that same week Birkenstock, purveyors of footwear to the New Age, unveils a new line of sandals named the J. Garcia Special Edition Collection …
2006,… Kurt Cobain passes Elvis on the Forbes magazine list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities … it’s estimated that the Nirvana frontman raked in $50 million over the past year … a substantial part of that sum results from licensing Nirvana songs for movies and TV … asked what criteria is used to decide on such licensing, Courtney Love’s manager Peter Asher says, “We’re interested in cool scripts that make use of what the songs mean … No rock bands, no suicides, nobody that’s trying to make any kind of Nirvana story.”
2007, in a sting, Cass County Sheriff Paul D. Laney snares 36 Ozzy Osbourne fans wanted for various infractions … the Ozzheads, who all had outstanding bench warrants, were offered free tickets to Osbourne’s show in Fargo, ND, only to be popped when they showed up at the venue … Ozzy is not amused saying "Sheriff Laney should be apologizing to me for using my name in connection with these arrests. It’s insulting to me and to my audience, and it shows how lazy this particular sheriff is when it comes to doing his job.” …
