No need for one today – unless it’s fur lined!
History 101: February 10, 1933: The Postal Telegraph Company of New York City delivered history’s first "singing" telegram.
Music History 101: February 10, 1993: Oprah Winfrey gets the first interview in fifteen years with this music superstar on her prime-time ABC-TV special and he claimed he had only minor plastic surgery on his nose. It was Michael Jackson.
The 101 number one song of the day comes from a man whose career has gone full circle from gospel singer to sex symbol and back to the gospel – this time preaching it. He was born in Arkansas and began singing gospel music when he was nine after his family moved to Grand Rapids, MI. Later, a record company A & R man tried to get him to come to Memphis to record for his label but he said he didn’t like Memphis. Eventually, he changed his mind and later moved there where he became an ordained minister preaching the gospel at the city’s Full Tabernacle Church. But before that, he recorded a string of hits culminating with today’s 101 number one song of the day which topped the charts on February 10, 1972. At the time he was considered the 70’s sexiest soul singer. Later he returned to the recording studio and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. From gospel to R&B to gospel and back to R&B – Here’s Al Green’s biggest hit – Let’s Stay Together…

Perhaps you’ll remember the other day we were talking about parrots and their tendency to be left handed (or “south-clawed”) and KC mentioned that her cockatoo Murphy usually used his left leg to grasp things. Here’s a picture.
Here’s your stock tip of the day:
Wall Street analysts are predicting by the end of this year – Apple will be the most valuable company in the world. They’re raising Apple’s projected stock price to $467 a share for the year. That would give the company a total market value of $433 billion dollars…eclipsing Exxon-Mobil’s $422-billion. FYI, today shares of Apple are selling at around $355.
