Wax recordings, The Beatles and the Queen of Disco!

Hello everyone ! i hope your St Patty's day was a lucky one! I sure enjoyed mine!

Lets jump back to the beginning of last century for our first fact. Enric Caruso was paid $500.00 to record 10 songs on Wax. In those days that was a lot of money. This record deal would earn him the title of the first recording star ever! The Black & white picture is of him with his piano!

 

On this day in 1967 the beatles "Penny Lane" went to #1 on the US charts. This was their thirteenth american hit

 

 

in 1992 Donna Summer got her own Star on the hollywood walk of fame. I remember hearing....... Um Oh never mind I'm giving my age away!

in 2002 The Ramones were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

 

Thats all for today folks I hope you have a great afternoon and I will see you tommorw! As always Rock On!! \m/
