Today In Music History: They Still Had Each Other, Babe

Today in:

1974 - An impostor posing as Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore borrowed a Porsche and crashed it in Iowa City. He eventually was charged with misrepresentation.
1976 - Rod Stewart started an 8 week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with "Tonight's The Night". It was Rod's second US No.1; it made No.5 in the UK after being banned by many radio stations due to song being about the seduction of a virgin.
1992 - Elton John performed in Mexico for the first time. An estimated 90,000 people attended the concert at a stadium in Mexico City.

History highlight:

Today in 1987, Sonny and Cher reunited for a performance on Late Night with David Letterman, where they sang "I Got You Babe." The couple's divorce in the mid '70s had initially been bitter, but a reconcilation followed and the two became friends again some time after that. How can we pass up an opportunity to play this song, anyway?
