Sir James Paul McCartney is 74 today.

Paul McCartney met John Lennon on his school bus as a child and 
later joined Lennon‘s skiffle group The Quarrymen when he was
fifteen. The band played a combination of jazz, blues, and folk
music. After George Harrison joined the band, they changed their
name to The Beatles.

The radio series “Gunsmoke” first aired on CBS on April 26, 1952 and
ended on June 18, 1961. The show stars William Conrad as Marshal
Matt Dillon, Howard McNear as Doc Charles Adams, Georgia Ellis as
Kitty Russell, and Parley Baer as Dillon’s assistant, Chester Wesley
Proudfoot. The TV series changed the newly limping Chester’s last
name from Proudfoot to Goode.

The song “At the Hop” reached number one on the charts on January 6,
1958, thus becoming one of the top-selling singles of 1958. It also hit
number one on the R&B Best Sellers list. Somewhat more surprisingly,
the record reached #3 on the Music Vendor country charts.
