Perez Prado died on this day 34 years ago, aged 72. - Born in Cuba, Prado moved to Mexico in 1949, forming his own band. He would adapt Cuban danzón music into more upbeat mambo music- he would often incorporate him shouting "Dilo" ("Say it") into his songs. - Shortly after his emigration, he composed one of his most famous works... ladies and gentlemen, this is "Mambo No. 5": - Mambo would soon become a worldwide musical trend, and Prado had a number-one in the US and UK in 1955 with his rendition of "Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White)": (#1 in the UK for two weeks, but ten weeks in the US (and was 1955's best-selling single)) - Prado was also known for his 1958 song "Patricia"- this was the final song to top Billboard's "Most Played By Jockeys" chart before it was scrapped in favor of the Hot 100 chart. - Prado was deported from Mexico in 1953- a rumor has persisted claiming it was because he made a mambo version of Mexico's national anthem, but in actuality someone reported him for not having a work permit. He would be able to return to Mexico in 1964, where he resided until his death.

American politician George Wallace died on this day 25 years ago, aged 79. He served as the 45th governor of Alabama for four terms. He is notoriously remembered for his staunch segregationist and populist views. During Wallace's tenure as Governor of Alabama, he promoted "industrial development, low taxes, and trade schools." Wallace sought the United States presidency as a Democratic Party candidate three times, and once as an American Independent Party candidate, being unsuccessful each time. Wallace opposed desegregation and supported the policies of "Jim Crow" during the Civil Rights Movement, declaring in his 1963 inaugural address that he stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
