1969 A female singer was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on charges of using "vulgar and indecent language" at a concert. It was a woman but she was no lady -The charges eventually were dropped.  It was Janis Joplin.

The 101 number one song of the day did what most people considered impossible. It was the first record ever to enter the British singles chart at number one.

It was written by the great songwriting duo of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller who met today’s featured artist for the first time at the recording session for this song. They were very impressed with his talent and work ethic. He would do a great take and then insist on another and another. To unwind, he’d sit down at the piano and sing a hymn. He never looked at the clock. Today’s 101 number one song of the day was a title song to a movie and it was number one on November 15, 1957 for a workaholic Elvis Presley – “Jailhouse Rock”

Listen for the replay and win!
