On July 3rd, the Times would report the actual ratings:

N.B.C.-TV’s Steve Allen toppled C.B.S.-TV’s Ed Sullivan in the hotly contested 8 to 9 P. M. time period last Sunday. Mr. Allen, who featured Elvis Presley, singer, scored a Trendex rating of 20.2 as against Mr. Sullivan’s 14.8. The former attracted 55.3 per cent of the viewing audience and the latter drew 39.7 per cent. It was N.B.C.’s best showing since May 30, 1954. During the 1955-1956 season, N.B.C. surpassed Mr. Sullivan only three times.¹⁰

The show managed to beat out Sullivan’s in spite of the number of high profile guests that appeared that night which included John Huston, Jose Ferrer, Orson Welles, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson, Vincent Price, Burl Ives and even Gregory Peck reenacting scenes from his upcoming film “Moby Dick.”

The King earned $5,000 for the performance and headed for the studio the next day to record the song for a single release. US TV critic John Crosby panned Elvis’ performance, calling him an ‘unspeakable, untalented and vulgar young entertainer.’

Following the Steve Allen show – Elvis returned to the Warwick Hotel where he appeared on the only national talk show interview of his life – Hy Gardner Calling.

Steve Allen would maintain that Elvis was in on the joke being made of him, and Elvis never got over it – even referring to it in 1969 Vegas concert return. That North vs South divide of America.

Recorded over a 129-day period beginning in December 1966, the album widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, includes songs such as ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ and ‘A Day in the Life’.

Jefferson Airplane‘s psychedelic masterpiece “White Rabbit” entered the Billboard chart, where it eventually reached #8.

“Dixie“, a blackface minstrel song that has become an unofficial anthem of the Confederacy;
“All My Trials“, originally a Bahamian lullaby, but closely related to African American spirituals, and well-known through folk music revivalists; and
“The Battle Hymn of the Republic“, the marching song of the Union Army during the Civil War.

Billboard magazine estimated that Michael Jackson‘s album catalog had generated about $383 million in sales and that MJ Inc. had earned at least $1 billion in revenue in the year following his death.

2011

2015

Apple Music reversed its payment policy, a day after Taylor Swift said she was refusing to allow the company to stream her latest album 1989. In an open letter to Apple, Swift said she was withholding the record as she was unhappy with the three-month free trial offered to subscribers, saying “We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.” Apple now said it would pay artists for music streamed during trial periods.

James Taylor enjoyed his first number one album on the Billboard Hot 200 when “Before This World” sold 97,000 units during its debut week. In the forty-five years since “Sweet Baby James” was released in 1970, Taylor had achieved eleven Top Ten albums.

Elvis attending on Black Community day, with these photos in a nationally published fan magazine, were socially revolutionary. In the 1960s and 1970s, he’d rent the park when he had carnival urges to ride the rides.

Ben E. King enjoys his biggest hit as “Stand By Me” reaches #4 on the Billboard singles chart. The same song would re-appear on the Hot 100 in 1986, reaching #9, after it was featured as the title track in a film starring River Phoenix.

Pat Boone had his sixth and final number 1 hit in the US with “Moody River”. A year later, “Speedy Gonzales” would finish his run of thirty-eight Top 10 hits. A tongue-in-cheek, heavy metal “comeback” was attempted in 1997 with an album called “In a Metal Mood (No More Mr. Nice Guy)”.

The following short article in Billboard on June 19, 1961, a month after “Surrender” exited the “Hot 100,” indicates that RCA may have overestimated the record’s sales potential.

• Copies of “Surrender” given away in Canada

“Station CKWX [in Vancouver, B.C.] gave away 3,000 recordings of ‘Surrender’ by Elvis Presley this month in a contest which pulled in more than 10,000 letters. According to CKWX deejay Red Robinson, RCA Victor had ‘over-pressed’ the Presley disk, so they turned the excess wax over to the jock and suggested he build a promotion around it. Robinson offered the disk free to the first 3,000 dialers who wrote in and merely said they like Elvis.”

Elvis Presley enjoyed his 15th UK #1 single with his rendition of “Crying In The Chapel”, which first became a hit for 17-year-old Darrell Glenn when it topped the Cashbox Best Sellers chart in 1953. To date there are over 50 known recorded versions of the song, but none as successful as Presley’s which would eventually be awarded Platinum status by the RIAA.

Having admitted to taking LSD four times during an interview with Life Magazine, Beatle Paul McCartney told The Daily Mirror that he didn’t regret that he’d spoken out and hoped that his fans would understand.

Elvis reported to MGM for pre-production of Speedway, beginning with a 10.00 a.m. music meeting and a 2.00 p.m. wardrobe fitting. According to Peter Guralnick and Ernst Jorgensen’s book, “Elvis: Day by Day,” on that first day Elvis presented his costar with a car that had “‘Speedway’ painted on one door and ‘Starring Nancy and Elvis’ on the other.”

The Rolling Stones scored their seventh UK No.1 single when ‘Jumpin Jack Flash’ hit the top of the charts. Keith Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards’ country house, where they were awoken one morning by the sound of gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. When Jagger asked what the noise was, Richards responded: “Oh, that’s Jack – that’s jumpin’ Jack.”

The grounds were full of fans and Mr. Pepper kept blowing his whistle. Elvis laughingly said, “Mr. Pepper’s got that whistle caught in his throat, hasn’t he?” Elvis was in a great mood, laughing, joking acting silly and doing some of his impressions like Glen Campbell and Ray Stephens, saying “Let’s hear it for the monkey – Guitarzan.” Elvis stayed out until after dark. Then he went to the Memphian.

He arrived at the Memphian wearing the same clothes he had been riding in. The first movie was “Sams Whiskey” with a bird named Priscilla. When Angie Dickinson said, “Priscilla died” everyone, including Elvis and Priscilla, busted out laughing. Elvis sang some during the movie, “This time We’re Really Breaking Up”, and someone said “do you believe in magic? And Elvis started singing that song. He also sang “Do You Know The Way to San Jose?” The second movie was “Eye of the Devil”. The evening ended at 3:15 am.

The Rolling Stones became the first artists to receive record royalties from the Soviet Union. Until the country’s copyright laws were changed, the Soviets had made no payment to any artist for work released or used in that country.

During recording sessions for Wish You Were Here at Abbey Road Studios, London, England, Syd Barrett turned up out of the blue as Pink Floyd were listening to playbacks of Shine On You Crazy Diamond — a song that happened to be about Barrett. By that time, the 29-year-old Barrett had shaved off all of his hair (including his eyebrows), become overweight, and his ex-bandmates did not at first recognise him. Barrett eventually left without saying goodbye, and none of the band members ever saw him again.

Officials in Singapore threw out an appeal against a ban on Janet Jackson’s latest album, ‘All For You’. They decided that the lyrics of the album, particularly one song, ‘Would You Mind’, were “not acceptable to our society”.

The man known as Ricky Rock had erected a 32ft transmitter in his garden and had been playing hits by The Beach Boys, Beatles and Elvis Presley.

2007

It was later announced that all copies sold through UK Starbucks would not be eligible for the UK charts as the 533 stores were not registered with the Official Chart Company.

The four members of ABBA performed alongside one another for the first time since 1982 at a private gala to mark 50 years since songwriting duo Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson met for the first time in Stockholm. The impromptu performance reportedly began when Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstadon recited their 1980 hit “Me and I” as a tribute to Andersson and Ulvaeus, before the two others joined in and made the reunion official.

The final day of the sell-out Rock am Ring music festival in Germany was cancelled after lightning hurt at least 80 fans. At least eight people were seriously injured by the lightning strike.

Pianist/composer Ludwig van Beethoven died at age 56. There is dispute about the cause of his death. Possibilities include alcoholic cirrhosis, syphilis, infectious hepatitis, lead poisoning, sarcoidosis and Whipple’s disease. Friends and visitors before and after his death clipped locks of his hair, some of which have been preserved and subjected to additional analysis that has led to speculation that Beethoven was accidentally poisoned to death by excessive doses of lead-based treatments administered under instruction from his doctor.
