This Day In Rock History: October 16th


1986 Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Robert Cray joined other artists on stage in St Louis, for Chuck Berry's 60th birthday concert, as featured in the film 'Hail Hail! Rock & Roll'.

2015 Patti Smith was said to be moved to tears after a fan returned a bag of stolen goods to the singer, 36 years after they went missing. They included a shirt worn for a 1978 Rolling Stone cover shot and a bandana given to her by her late brother. The items went missing in June 1979 when a truck, which was carrying $40,000 in amplifiers, guitars and other musical equipment, was stolen from outside a hotel after Smith and her band played a show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

1951: An 18-year-old called Richard Penniman recorded his first tracks at a radio station in Atlanta under the name Little Richard. The songs were more jazzy and bluesy than what he later became known for, but by 1955 he had already created the sound that had people calling him the "Architect of Rock 'n' Roll."

1968: The Jimi Hendrix Experience released Electric Ladyland, which turned out to be their final album. It was also their most successful, spending two weeks at the top of the Billboard Top LPs chart and reaching double-Platinum status in the U.S.
