On This Date In Music
1971 - Brewer & Shipley entered the US singles chart with 'One Toke Over The Line'. The song, which featured Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia on steel guitar, peaked at No. 10 despite being banned by radio stations for its drug references. Brewer and Shipley maintained that the word 'toke' meant 'token' as in ticket, hence the line 'waitin' downtown at the railway station, one toke over the line.'
1976 - The Four Seasons started a three week run at No. 1 on the US singles chart with 'December 1963, (Oh What A Night)', the group's 5th US No. 1, also their only UK No. 1.
One of my very favorite songs:
