In Latin septem means "the seventh."  Huh?  It’s the ninth month.  Originally, back when the new-year started in March, September was the 7th month. September is the busiest month for births in the U.S., more than 11,000 on an average day.

history 101 2

September 1, 1878: Emma M. Nutt became the first female telephone operator in the U.S., for the Telephone Despatch Company of Boston. Previously, callers complained that the operators were rude. And so, the first woman was hired to be the courteous, friendly voice on the other end of the black box and wire.

Pink-Cadillac

The 101 number one song of the day was from a group in the tradition of the Crystals, the Marvelettes, and the Chiffons but there was a difference. Theirs was the first girl group to get to number one that was…

…white. They were three girls from New Jersey; two of them sisters, Barbara and Phyllis Allbut and their friend Peggy Santiglia who sang lead. Their first single, called “Til” reached number 14, their second, “Cry baby Cry” went to number 38 but the third single they recorded got them to the top and it was at number one on September 1, 1963 for the Angels (My Boyfriends’s Back)

Listen to the replay and win on 101 Gold
