"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" became the first posthumous number-one record on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. The album The Dock of the Bay was the first posthumous album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.

Bullets couldn't kill George Washington.

Arthur Treacher didn't answer the butler's bell today in 1975. The first man to play Jeeves on-screen, his performance irritated PG Wodehouse so much that he refused to allow any more adaptations of his work. He later became the go-to guy when Hollywood needed a butler/stuffy Englishman, and lent his name to America's largest fish-and-chips franchise chain.

Excuse me Ashes Urn, are you posting a day in advance?  It's the second time this week.  You're cheating.  You're only 6 hours ahead of me, not 16 or 26.

No Nicolette Larson listed.  It surely ain't the 17th anywhere but Asia, and I'm guessing you don't ping to Japan.
