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.

Northern Songs Publishing was a good idea. But like business in general, things aren’t that transparent.
There are a lot of fantastic artists releasing new music this month, but there’s no point in pretending that the debut single from The Beatles isn’t the one that bears the burden of expectations. Not necessarily back then, but to me anyway.
On February 13, Brian Epstein met with George Martin, record producer at EMI Records, to talk about The Beatles.
The Beach Boys has just released their first single, and now they’re getting ready for their first professional concert at a show held in honor of Ritchie Valens.
Sosialistisk Folkeparti (The Socialist Party) was formed in Norway. You know, the people that a lot of Americans thinks are the devil. With evil men and women like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running their mouth about how they want a better life for all Americans.
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.
With releases from big names such as Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, and Sammy Davis Jr. one would think that it would be easy to have a good time while checking out their albums. Well, the joke’s on me!
Even though the albums released this month wasn’t up my alley doesn’t make June a complete disaster. The Ventures, Chubby Checker and Fats Domino all released some pretty good singles, and at least one of them is a pretty massive addition to music history.
