Today In Music History: It's A Filthy Business (But I Like It?)

Birthdays:
Guitarist Denny Laine (Wings, Moody Blues) is 65.
Today in:
1964 - The "T.A.M.I. Show" (for Teenage Awards Music International) was filmed in Santa Monica, California. It featured performances by the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, James Brown, Lesley Gore, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Rolling Stones and The Supremes.
1970 - Neil Diamond received a gold record for "Cracklin' Rosie."
1983 - Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" became the longest-running album on the "Billboard" music charts, with a total of 491 weeks. That record has since been broken.
On this day in 1996, Manchester band The Stone Roses split up. Singer Ian Brown said "having spent the last ten years in the filthiest business in the universe, it's a pleasure to announce the end of The Stone Roses." The Stone Roses led a highly celebrated, if short, career - with their debut album at one point chosen as the greatest album in British history by the readers of NME. From that album, we played "She Bangs The Drums."
