ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY ~
FIRST BROADWAY PRODUCTION ON TV
On March 7, 1955, NBC presented Peter Pan live as part of Producers’
Showcase (with nearly all of the show’s original cast) as the first full-
length Broadway production on color TV. The show attracted a then
record audience of 65-million viewers, the highest ever up to that
time for a single television program.
RECORDED ON THIS DAY IN 1958
"All I Have To Do Is Dream" by The Everly Brothers and is ranked
#142 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of The 500 Greatest
Songs of All Time. It was recorded in just two takes and features
the guitar of the great Chet Atkins.
“All I Have To Do Is Dream” was the only single ever to be at #1
on all of Billboard’s singles charts simultaneously, on June 2, 1958.
