NEW SOUND IN MUSIC BEGAN ON THIS DAY

The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man - Reviews - Album of The Year

Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr.
Tambourine Man
, marked the beginning of the folk-rock
revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become
a household name, with a #1 single and a smash-hit
album that married the ringing guitars and backbeat of
the British Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth
of folk to create an entirely new sound.

BIG HIT SINGLE RECORDED ON THIS DAY

Almanac: "Like a Rolling Stone" - CBS News

By the spring of 1965, Bob Dylan’s presence in the world of
music was beginning to be felt well outside the boundaries
of his nominal genre. Within the world of folk music, he had
been hailed as a hero for several years already, but now his
music was capturing the attention and influencing artists like
the Byrds, the Beatles and even a young Stevie Wonder. 
       
With Dylan as a direct inspiration, popular music was about to
change its direction, but so was Dylan himself. On June 16,
1965, on their second day of recording at Columbia Records’
Studio A in Manhattan, he and a band featuring electric guitars
and an organ laid down the master take of the song that would 
make that change: “Like A Rolling Stone.” It would prove to be
“folksinger” Bob Dylan’s magnum opus and, arguably, the
greatest rock and roll record of all time.

It was the fourth of 11 takes that day that yielded the six-minute-
and-34-second recording that very nearly didn’t become a big
hit single.

ROCK HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1954

Rock Around The Clock backing track in the style of Bill Haley [BT00794] - $1.45 : Total Sound ...

On April 12, 1954, Bill Haley and His Comets recorded
“(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock.” If rock and
roll was a social and cultural revolution, then
“(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” was its
Declaration of Independence, and if Bill Haley was
not exactly the revolution’s
Thomas Jefferson, it
may be fair to call him its
John Hancock.

OFFICIAL WORD FROM FBI ON SONGS LYRICS

See the source image

Based on outcry from parents who bought into what may have
started as an idle rumor, the
FBI launched a formal investigation
in 1964 into the supposedly pornographic lyrics of the song
“Louie, Louie.” recorded by The Kingsmen.  That investigation
finally neared its conclusion on May 17, 1965, when the FBI
Laboratory declared the lyrics of “Louie Louie”, as sung by the
bands singer Jack Ely (below), to be officially … unintelligible.

Jack Brown Ely (September 11, 1943 – April 28, 2015)


Ely’s famously incoherent vocals were partly the result of his
braces and the rudimentary recording method. The one hour
session cost within $50. He left the band shortly after the 1963
recording session. (
From Wikipedia)

Ely was born in Portland, Oregon where he attended Washington
High School.
