Janis Joplin in her fur hat, settled into a carved chair in the attic of Spaulding Taylor's house in San Francisco in January 1968. Baron Wolman took this portrait for an Eye magazine feature on Janis and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. Wolman later recalled that Janis lived around the corner from his San Francisco studio, and that besides shooting her at Big Brother and the Holding Company concerts, he photographed her at her Haight-Ashbury apartment, in his studio, and here, in the attic retreat of a good friend. Big Brother had drawn a lot of attention with their 1967 set at the Monterey Pop Festival, and within weeks of this session the band signed with Columbia Records in New York. Their Columbia debut, Cheap Thrills, came out on August 12, 1968, with a cover drawn by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb after the label vetoed the band's original idea. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart and held the top spot for eight weeks, while their version of "Piece of My Heart" became a huge hit. 🎸 Cheap Thrills held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart for eight weeks in 1968. Did you know Robert Crumb drew its famous cover? 🎸 Captured by Baron Wolman.

On this date in 1983, Frankie Goes to Hollywood released "Relax," the provocative dance track that became one of the decade's most talked-about pop songs. With its pulsing electronic production and unmistakable chorus, it helped define the era's synth-driven sound. BITE-SIZED FACT | The BBC initially banned the song from its radio and television playlists, but the controversy only added to its notoriety. #80s

Billy Idol onstage at the Oakland Coliseum Arena in Oakland, California, on March 23, 1984, on the Rebel Yell tour. Idol had moved to New York in 1981 to launch his solo career, and Rebel Yell, his second solo album, came out in the US on November 10, 1983. He made it again with producer Keith Forsey and guitarist Steve Stevens at Electric Lady Studios in New York. He got the title after a party with the Rolling Stones, where people were drinking Rebel Yell bourbon. The album climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and was certified double platinum, and it produced four singles: "Rebel Yell," "Eyes Without a Face," "Flesh for Fantasy" and "Catch My Fall." A few weeks after this show, in April 1984, "Eyes Without a Face" was released as a single in the US. Its title came from a 1960 French horror film, and it reached No. 4 on the Hot 100, Idol's first Top 10 hit in America. 🎸 "Eyes Without a Face" was Billy Idol's first US Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 4.

“OK, does anyone here at NBC have a fresh movie idea?” “Boss, I’m just throwing this one out there but how about some guy infiltrates the KKK?” “I don’t know …” “And starts fucking all their wives.” “Why?” “Why not?” “Get me Don Meredith’s agent on the phone right now.”
