Something Was in the Water on October 28

Today, October 28, is an incredibly signficant day in the history of pop music.
..
On Oct. 28, 1956, Elvis Presley made the second of his famous appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, and on that night, Sullivan presented the new rock and roll star with a gold record for "Love Me Tender".

Exactly one year later, on Oct. 28, 1957, after a show at the Pan Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles, local police told Elvis that he couldn't wiggle his hips onstage. The next night, the police filmed Presley's entire show to study his performance.
.
.One year later, on Oct. 28, 1958, Buddy Holly appeared on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand", and it was Holly's last major television appearance. On Feb. 3, 1959, Holly died in a plane crash and the day was forever after known as "The Day The Music Died".

.Three years later, on Oct. 28, 1961, Raymond Jones, a customer in the NEMS Record Store in Liverpool, England, asked the store manager, Brian Epstein, for a record by a group called The Beatles which had recently been released in Hamburg, Germany. Epstein wasn't familiar with the record, but promised he would try to obtain information about it. Epstein claims that on that day he wasn't familiar with The Beatles, although later claims, including those made by The Beatles, themselves, disputed Epstein's story, saying that had been hearing about The Beatles for several months.
.
.Exactly one year later, on Oct. 28, 1962, The Beatles, with new manager Brian Epstein in tow, appeared for the first time at The Empire Theatre, Liverpool's largest theater. Eight other acts were on the bill that night, including America's Little Richard. Also by now, Ringo Starr was a member of The Beatles, having replaced drummer Pete Best the previous year..

.Two years later, on Oct. 28, 1964, The "T.A.M.I. Show" premiered at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California with Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and The Rolling Stones. The two night concert was filmed by director Steve Binder and was released as a theatrical film.

The concert is most notable for the performance of James Brown who showcased his wildly energetic and unique dance moves. Brown's performance was so electrifying that it is not only considered one of the greatest rock and roll performances of all time, but years later, The Rolling Stones would say that to try to follow Brown that night on stage was the biggest mistake of their lives. In addition to the big name stars in the film, one can also spot a very young Toni Basil and Teri Garr as background go-go dancers. The legendary The Wrecking Crew was the house band for the concert and included drummer Hal Blaine, guitarist Glen Campbell and pianist Leon Russell.

We don't know what it is about the day of October 28 that makes for such legendary moments in pop music history, but whatever it is, we think that if we were new singers about to release a new single or album, or perform a concert, we might schedule everything to happen on this day.
