In 1941...Pop singer Ritchie Valens, remembered for the hits "La Bamba" and "Donna," was born. He died in a plane crash with singers Buddy Holly and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson on Feb. 3, 1959 at 17.
In 1956...The musical variety show, "Gene Autry's Melody Ranch," aired its final broadcast after 16 years on CBS Radio. The program featured 10 to 15 minute skits about cowboys and rustlers, along with musical numbers by Autry.
In 1969...The Beatles, now with beards and long hair, met at EMI House in London to replicate the cover of their first album for the cover of their current album project, "Get Back." When that project evolved into "Let It Be," the photograph was put aside until its eventual use for the cover of the compilation release, "The Beatles 1967-1970," nicknamed the "blue album."
