1967: Pink Floyd released their debut single, “Arnold Layne.” According to bassist Roger Waters, the song, written by lead singer Syd Barrett, was based on a real person who had a hobby of stealing women’s clothes and undergarments from their washing lines.
1967: Jeff Beck released his first solo single, “Hi Ho Silver Lining.” Written by American songwriters Scott English and Larry Weiss, the song was first released by English band The Attack just a few days earlier. Their version failed to chart, but Beck’s recording became his biggest solo hit, reaching the top 20 on the UK chart in 1967 and 1972. The single’s B-side, an instrumental titled “Beck’s Bolero” conceived while Beck was still a member of the Yardbirds, was inspired by French composer Maurice Ravel’s “Ravel’s Bolero.” The track later received greater exposure on Beck’s debut album Truth, released in 1968. The recording session brought together a group of musicians that included Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, John Paul Jones, and Nicky Hopkins, who later agreed that the lineup was a first attempt at what later became Led Zeppelin.
1981: Guitarist Jimmy Page made his first public performance since the breakup of Led Zeppelin, joining Jeff Beck onstage as a surprise encore guest at London’s Hammersmith Odeon.

He joined the group in 1983, when asked by Sabbath manager Don Arden (Sharon Osbourne's father) to replace Ronnie James Dio (who'd taken the place of original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne).

1970 Deja Vu, the first album by Crosby, Stills Nash & Young, (and the second by the trio configuration of Crosby, Stills, and Nash), was released. It topped the pop album chart for one week and spawned three US Top 40 singles: 'Teach Your Children', 'Our House', and 'Woodstock'.
2016 English musician Keith Emerson died in Santa Monica, California, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after he had become 'depressed, nervous and anxious' because nerve damage in his hands had hampered his playing. Emerson found his first commercial success with the Nice, in the late 1960s and was a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock supergroups.
