1967--The Doors make their debut on “American Bandstand” performing Light My Fire.
1968--The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio One, EMI Studios, London). Good Night is re-recorded in its entirety, from start to finish, after the recording of the orchestra and choral tracks. Don't Pass Me By is completed, the tinkling piano intro being recorded in four takes and then spliced onto the beginning of the song. The Beatles Anthology 3 includes an orchestral piece recorded during this session as an introduction to Ringo's Don't Pass Me By (Disc one, Track one). This intro was omitted from the final version of the song.
1969--The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Three, EMI Studios, London). Recording overdubs for Come Together. And Paul McCartney records yet another lead vocal for Oh! Darling, still looking for a satisfactory performance.
 1971--Filming for “Imagine”: Day Two. John Lennon and Yoko Ono are filmed for one of the most memorable and most-seen sequences from the finished project: with the early morning mist still swirling around the grounds of their Tittenhurst mansion, the couple walk up the path toward the entrance of the house, which has “This Is Not Here” written above the door. This scene will serve as a wonderful opening to the song Imagine. After four retakes, John and Yoko then film scenes of them wandering around the grounds calling out to each other. Later in the afternoon, inside the mansion, another memorable scene takes place: John Lennon is filmed in the music room at the white grand piano singing Imagine, while Yoko opens the shutters on the windows to let in the light. Filming continues with John and Yoko playing pool with John wearing a blindfold. With most of the day’s shooting complete, John sits for the photograph that will appear on the Imagine album cover, the event also included in the film. The day ends with Yoko giving John a haircut, but, surprisingly, this is not captured on film.
 1972--CBS-TV premieres Bobby Darin's variety show, “The Bobby Darin Amusement Company.” The biggest hit of Darin’s career was 1959's Mack the Knife.
1979--Little Richard's latest gig is saving souls as the Rev. Richard Penniman. He tells a congregation in California, "If God can save an old homosexual like me, he can save anybody."

1998--US President Bill Clinton signs a bill designed to mold the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) into a “friendlier, fairer tax collector.” Democrat and Republican lawmakers attended the bill-signing ceremony at the White House.
