The 35th Academy Awards was held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on April 8th, 1963, honoring movies released in 1962.
On March 5th, 1963, a plane fell from the sky in Tennessee and killed three country artists. The rising star, Patsy Cline, as well as Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas. A truly sad day for all of country music.
The 4th annual Grammy Awards was held in May 1962 (might have been in April) to celebrate the best music of the year 1961.
It’s the end of another year, and it’s been a bit more difficult to decide which was the best release, at least more difficult than last year. So I’ve basically chosen the ten albums and singles that I liked the best, but the order might be a bit random. But just a bit though.
On the 21st of April man travelled into space for the first time. The Russian Jurij Gagarin is the first human in space and the first human to orbit the earth.
Finally a month with more than one or two releases. Elvis is back from the army and is ready to show the world that he’s still got it. But does he?
