1961 - Marvelettes

Tamla Records released the Marvelettes first single, 'Please Mr. Postman'.The song went on to sell over a million copies and become the group's biggest hit, reaching the top of both the Billboard Pop and R&B charts.
  • The song is notable as the first Motown song to reach the No.1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

 

1966 - The Doors
Jim Morrison is a no-show for The Doors set at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles.
They play the first set without him, then get him at his apartment, where he is tripping on acid.
When they play "The End," he improvises Oedipal lyrics: Father... I want to kill you Mother... I want to f--k you

This gets them fired, but provides the final lyric that goes into the song when they record it for their first album.

1981
"Girls On Film" hits #5 in the UK, giving Duran Duran their breakthrough hit in Britain.
It does not chart on its US release, but surges in popularity after its music video goes into heavy rotation on MTV.

The clip, directed by Godley and Creme, has to be heavily edited for TV as it was only intended to be played in nightclubs and features adult themes and nudity.
