1965 The Four Tops had their first US number one record with "I Can't Help Myself". Lead singer Levi Stubbs had not been satisfied with the recording session and was promised that he could do it again the following day, but no other session ever took place. The track that became a hit was just the second take of the song.

1968, The Rolling Stones scored their seventh number one single when “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” topped the charts. Keith Richards wrote in his autobiography that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards’ country house. They were awoken one morning by the sound of gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. When Jagger asked what the noise was, Richards responded, “Oh, that’s Jack – that’s jumpin’ Jack.

2020, Bob Dylan released his 39th studio album Rough and Rowdy Ways. It became Dylan’s highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 in more than a decade and it marked his seventh consecutive decade of charting top 40 albums, making him the only artist to date to accomplish this feat

On this day in 1973, the stage musical, The Rocky Horror Show, opened in London. Written by Richard O’Brien and produced and directed by Jim Sharman, The Rocky Horror Show is a pastiche of horror and science-fiction films from the mid-20th century, and the story follows an engaged couple who get caught in a thunderstorm, and on seeking shelter, encounter a transvestite mad scientist who has created a monster, similar to Frankenstein’s monster, called Rocky. The stage production ran for a total of 2,960 performances and won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Actor Tim Curry, who portrayed Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the stage version, went on to reprise the role in the film version of the musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, also written by O’Brien and directed by Sharman, which released in 1975.
