This Day in Music

by Neil Cossar, Pete Hawkins

Here's the perfect gift for music fans--a full year's worth of the musical history and happenings from the past 50 years. Based on the massively popular website thisdayinmusic.com, this extraordinary day-by-day diary recounts the musical firsts and lasts, blockbuster albums and chart-topping tunes, and other significant happenings on each of the 365 days in the year. For each day, readers learn who hit #1 on the charts, who got arrested, which record won an award, and which concert broke new ground or signaled a band's demise. Also included are monthly feature pages which detail some of the pivotal events in music history, such as The Beatles opening gig at the Cavern Club, Woodstock, and the day Elvis died.
