Today in Rock and Roll History
Not long after they had reconciled, Roy Orbison’s wife, Claudette, was killed when her motorcycle collided with a truck in 1966. She was only 25 when the accident occurred in Gallatin, Texas. Orbison had previously written a song about her, and The Everly Brothers had a hit with “Claudette” in 1958. Just as “Fool to Cry” peaked at number 10 in America and number 6 in the U.K. in 1976, Keith Richards’ ten week old son died of pneumonia. Tara lost his fight in Switzerland while the band was performing in Paris, France, promoting their Black and Blue album. Blind Faith played their only live performance in 1969 in Hyde Park, London. Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker and Ric Grech produced just one album together, which included the popular songs, “Can’t Find My Way Home” and “Presence of the Lord.” Alice Cooper came under fire in 2000 when he released his latest album, Brutal Planet. One of the songs, “Wicked Young Man,” describes an adolescent with, “a pocket full of bullets and a blueprint of the school,” clearly a reference to the April 29, 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Cooper said he wrote the song to, “let people know that if they see or know someone like this guy in the song, that they report him immediately.” Another track, “Blow Me a Kiss,” was also about Columbine. Critics feared that Cooper was sensationalizing the tragic event to gain publicity for his album. Chuck Berry knows June 7th all too well. In 1957 two of his singles were released on competing record labels in the U.K. “Roll Over Beethoven” was put out by London Records and “School Day” was issued on the Columbia label. A cover of Berry’s, “Come On” by The Rolling Stones became their debut single this week in 1963. And in the same week in 1979, Berry played at the White House, and was also charged with income tax evasion going back to 1973. He was sentenced to five months in jail. A vote for you from the sweltering All America City.
