Sir Creep 7,069 Posted February 3, 2017 Joe Meek went into orbit 50 years ago today at 37 years old.Wrote one of the great early rock instrumentals -- Telstar, released by the Tornados in July 1962,and became the first U.S. number one by a British group.Up to that point, there had only been three British names that topped the U.S. chart. Interestingly, two are still alive: Laurie London (73) and Vera Lynn (100 TODAY). Other names to consider in the future re: Telstar:Tornado Drummer Clem Cattini - 79 Tornado Singer/rhythm guitar George Bellamy - 75 Margie Singleton (recorded a cover version of "Magic Star', which is Telstar with later added vocals) - 81 Alberto Cortez (released a Spanish version) - 76 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,069 Posted February 3, 2017 Pretty damned synchronous that Vera Lynn (first Brit with a U.S. #1) turned 100 on the day that Joe Meek (first Brit with a U.S. 'rock' #1) has been dead 50 years. Or put another way, Meek died on Lynn's 50th birthday. I mean....cmon! SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 5, 2017 Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale died on this day 40 years ago, aged 81. She was the aunt of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. There's something in that photo that makes me feel like I've displeased her and she's ever so disappointed in me. Glad she not my mam, would lead to a lifetime of therapy. It's truly a high quality resting bitch face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
