a day to celebrate the great gift of laughter.
At 1:24 this afternoon smile, throw your arms in the air, and laugh out loud!
It is also National Compliment Day.
Compliment at least five people today.
1848: James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget at Sutter's Mill in northern California, a discovery that led to the gold rush of '49.
1962: Brian Epstein signed to manage a new group he’d heard about while working in a record store. He swapped their leather jackets for matching suits and helped them develop a smarter stage show. The group: The Beatles.
was recorded by an international superstar who was a virtual unknown in the U.S. But when today’s featured song got to the top of the charts here in America, she became the first British female of the rock era to earn a number one song in this county. In the early 60s she moved to Paris and had a succession of hits sung in French including a song called “Chariot” which was later translated into English and became a number one hit for Peggy March (I Will Follow Him) Her producer thought it was time for her to start recording once again in her native language and wrote some music which she loved immediately and she said if he could write some suitable lyrics for it, she’d record it. He did and she did and it was number one in America on January 24, 1965: for Petula Clark (Downtown)
