The Rolling Stones makes their TV debut this month on the popular ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’ show together with Helen Shapiro and some other unknown (to me) bands/artists.

The 5th annual Grammy Awards was held in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York in 1963 to recognize accomplishments in music for the year 1962.
There isn’t a lot going on in November 1962, so hopefully, the albums I’ve managed to rustle up will make this into something memorable.
The Rolling Stones played their first-ever gig at London’s Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, as they stepped in for a band called Blues Incorporated.
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.
At a lunchtime show on November 9th, 1961, Brian Epstein saw The Beatles for the first time at The Cavern Club in Liverpool.
In June ‘61, Bill Evans Trio will enter The Village Vanguard in New York and record two of the best jazz recordings ever made…according to the ones who know what they’re talking about.
Even though we can track The Beatles all the way back to 1957, I’ve decided to not write about them until now. But they weren’t even called The Beatles back then, so I’ve come to the conclusion that I did the right thing here. In 1957 the it was John Lennon’s band and they were called the Quarry Men. And to be perfectly honest; it didn’t really become interesting until Paul McCartney joined in.
