1910 - Chester Arthur Burnett is born in Aberdeen. Mississippi. He will be
better known as 'Howlin Wolf', a delta bluesman whose recordings will
inspire English rock bands to adopt his style and material.
1940 - The famed Cotton Club in Harlem closes. Home to some of the most
important jazz talents of their day, including Duke Ellington, Lena
Horne, and many others, the club falls victim to changing musical
tastes and poor attendance.
1972 - Sammy Davis, Jr. earns his place at the top of the popular music
charts for the first time, after years in the entertainment business
with his first number one song, "The Candy Man". The song stayed at
the top for three consecutive weeks and stayed on the pop charts for
16 weeks.
