Happy Friday everyone!
Musical milestones from this day in Rock & Roll history.
1963 - The Beatles
The first Beatles single 'Please Please Me' was released in the US on the Vee Jay label. Capitol Records, EMI's United States label, were offered the right to release the single in the US, but turned it down. Dick Biondi, a disc jockey on WLS in Chicago and a friend
of Vee-Jay executive Ewart Abner, played the song on the radio from February 1963, thus becoming the first DJ to play a Beatles record in the United States.
1969 - The Who
The Who recorded 'Pinball Wizard' at Morgan Studio's, London, England. The song is one of the band's most famous live songs, being played at almost every Who concert since its debut live performance on 2 May 1969. The track which featured on their 1969 rock opera album Tommy was released as a single in 1969 and reached No. 4 in the UK charts and No. 19 in the US.

My innocent teenage baby brother Christian was murdered in Chicago on June 24, 2022. I started CaldwellInstitute.org to advocate against George Soro’s funded progressive prosecutors and save lives. It was extremely humbling to have a conversation in the Oval Office with President @realDonaldTrump on the work the Institute is doing and even more humbling to learn he was already aware. I grew up on the south side of Chicago extremely poor. I NEVER could have imagined this moment growing up but with God all things are possible 🙏🏽.
