1965 - John Lennon's second book of poetry and drawings, A Spaniard In The Works, was published. The book consisted of nonsensical stories and drawings similar to the style of his 1964 book In His Own Write.
1967 - The Monkees went to No.1 on the US album charts with Headquarters the group's second chart topper.
1967 - Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" were released.
1990 - New Kids On The Block's Donnie Wahlberg spent two days in hospital after falling through an unlocked trapdoor mid-concert in Saratoga Springs, New York.
1995 - Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam left the stage after seven songs during a San Francisco concert because of stomach flu. Neil Young finished the show but was booed by fans who had come to see Pearl Jam.

Colin Blunstone, singer for the group The Zombies, is 65 today. Considered one of the great '60s rock vocalists, his signature soft, breathy style helped propel such Zombies' songs as "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No" to the top of the charts. Blunstone continues to perform as a solo artist today. We played a Zombies classic, "Time Of The Season."
