"Babe" is a song by the American rock band Styx. It was the lead single from the band's 1979 triple-platinum album Cornerstone. The song was Styx's first, an...

On this day September 11 in Rock history:

1960 - Nancy Sinatra married American teen idol Tommy Sands, who had reached #3 in the US in 1957 with a song called "Teen-Age Crush". The pair would split in 1965.
1962 - The Beatles return to Abbey Road Studios where they record "P.S., I Love You". Producer George Martin is concerned with Ringo Starr's ability and hires session drummer Andy White to re-record "Love Me Do", on which Ringo played tambourine. Starr had played drums on a version of the song that was recorded a week earlier which was released on Parlophone in the UK on October 5th, 1962. Listeners can tell the difference between the two renditions, as a tambourine is not heard on Ringo's take.

1963 - An unauthorized two-disc set of Bob Dylan songs, called "The Great White Wonder" first appears in a Los Angeles record store. It's believed to be the first commercial release of a bootleg album.

1964 - A 16 year old lad won a Mick Jagger impersonation contest at The Town Hall, Greenwich, England. The winner turned out to be Mick's younger brother, Chris Jagger.

1965 - The Beatles LP "Help!" rises to #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, where it will stay for the next nine weeks. While the band appears to be spelling out H-E-L-P in flag semaphore on the album cover, the actual letters they are displaying are N-V-U-J. Cover photographer Robert Freeman decided that the letters that spell out the LP's title did not make a well balanced photograph.

1966 - The Beatles receive a Gold record for the single, "Yellow Submarine". Paul McCartney would later say "The song began as being about different coloured submarines, but evolved to include only a yellow one."

1967 - The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" is certified as a million-seller. The boys also begin filming the movie, Magical Mystery Tour. The idea was to cruise the English countryside in a bus "just to see what would happen." Unfortunately, nothing did and the film was a disaster, receiving scathing reviews and condemned as The Beatles' first failure. The Evening News TV critic may have summed it up best when he wrote "There was precious little magic and the only mystery was how the BBC came to buy it."

1968 - Sly And The Family Stone bassist Larry Graham is picked up in England by London police for possession of cannabis. The BBC cancels the group's television appearance and a London hotel refuses to honor the band's reservations.

1970 - Jimi Hendrix gives his final interview in his suite at the Cumberland Hotel in London, where he talked with Keith Altham, a journalist for the British weekly music newspaper Record Mirror. During their dialogue the guitarist confirmed that his bassist, Billy Cox, was leaving the band due to exhaustion, a condition that Hendrix himself was suffering.
1971 Donny Osmond's version of "Go Away Little Girl" hits number one in the US. The song was also a chart topper for Steve Lawrence in 1963 and reached #12 for The Happenings in 1966.

The Jackson 5 Saturday morning cartoon show debuts on ABC-TV. The show features the voices of the five brothers.

1973 - Columbia Records releases Art Garfunkel's debut solo album "Angel Clare", which contained his only Top 10 hit in America as a solo artist, "All I Know". Just five weeks later the LP would be certified Gold, peaking at #5 on the Billboard chart. It also included two other singles, "Traveling Boy" ( #38 Adult Contemporary) and "I Shall Sing" ( #38 Hot 100, #4 Adult Contemporary).

1974 - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell and The Band play to 80,000 fans at London's Wembley Stadium.

1975 - Janis Ian is awarded her first Gold record for the album "Between The Lines". The LP contains her biographical single "At Seventeen", which was still climbing the charts and will peak in the US at number three.

1976 - KC And The Sunshine Band had North America dancing in the streets with their Billboard chart topper, "Shake Your B***y". The song was met with some degree of controversy, since the lyrics were interpreted by many as having sexual connotations. It rose to #22 in the UK.

1977 - After climbing the Hot 100 for the last twelve weeks, "Smoke From A Distant Fire" by The Sanford/Townsend Band finally peaks at #9. Unfortunately for the L.A. duo, it would be their one and only chart success as none of their follow-up material caught on.
1982 - After some lean years following the death of lead guitarist Terry Kath, Chicago was back on top of the Billboard singles chart with "Hard To Say I'm Sorry". It was their first Top 50 hit since "No Tell Lover" in 1978. The song reached #4 in the UK.

John "Cougar" Mellencamp becomes the only male artist to have two singles in the US Top Ten as well as the number one album. "Jack and Diane" was number 4, while "Hurts So Good" sat at number 8. The LP "American Fool" stayed on top for nine weeks, eventually reaching multi-Platinum status.

"Valley Girl" by Frank Zappa and his 14-year old daughter Moon Unit, peaks at #32 on the US singles chart. Moon Unit supplied much of the content, speaking typical "Valley Girl" phrases.

On this day September 10 in Rock history:

1962 - Britain's BBC banned Bobby 'Boris' Pickett's single, "Monster Mash", saying it was offensive and in poor taste. They eventually relented and the song went on to become a seasonal hit, reaching a high of #3 in 1973.

1963 - London's Daily Mirror prints a Donald Zec interview with The Beatles under the heading "Four Frenzied Little Lord Fauntleroys Who Are Making 5,000 Pounds Every Week."

1964 - Rod Stewart cuts his first record, "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl". He will go on to sing with The Jeff Beck group and later The Faces, before embarking on a solo career.
1965 The Byrds begin recording "Turn! Turn! Turn!". Unlike their first hit, "Mr. Tambourine Man", members of the group itself are permitted to play instead of session musicians.

1966 - The Rolling Stones appear on The Ed Sullivan Show in New York. Guitarist Brian Jones performs despite a cast on his right hand which he broke in a fall in Tangier.

The Supremes achieve their seventh US number one record when "You Can't Hurry Love" tops the Billboard chart. Phil Collins would enjoy similar success with the song sixteen years later when his rendition also went to number one.

Despite the recent turmoil over John Lennon's remark that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus now," the band's seventh studio album, "Revolver" rose to the top of the Billboard Hot 200 chart for the first of six weeks. On the UK's Record Retailer's LPs chart, "Revolver" entered at #1 and stayed there for seven weeks.

1967 - Elvis Presley recorded the Jerry Reed composition "Guitar Man" at RCA Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The song would be Elvis' last of eleven #1 Country hits, but did not crack the Billboard Top 40.

1970 - American blues man B.B. King's performance at the Cook County Jail in Chicago is recorded in front of 2,117 prisoners. Released next January as "Live in Cook County Jail", the album would rise to #25 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and #1 on the R&B chart, King's only album to achieve that position.

1972 - Making a valiant effort to soldier on in the wake of Jim Morrison's death last July 3rd, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger played their last concert as The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Their final song is "Light My Fire", which was also the last song Morrison ever performed with the band.

1973 - The Rolling Stones single "Star Star", from the "Goat's Head Soup" album, was banned from airplay on England's BBC because it contained the word "Star-f**ker" in the chorus. It's not just sung once, but the word is repeated a dozen times.
1975 - Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is certified Gold. The record had topped the Cashbox Best Sellers chart, reached #4 on the Hot 100 and #22 in the UK. Like the album it came from, "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy", the song is autobiographical and tells the story of Elton's attempted su***de. At the time the piece was written, John was despondent because he was engaged to a woman he did not love. The "Someone" who saved his life was English Blues man Long John Baldry, who convinced Elton to call off the betrothal.

1977 - Rita Coolidge has the best selling single on the Cashbox chart with "Higher and Higher", a song that Jackie Wilson took to number 6 in 1967.

David Bowie accepts Bing Crosby's invitation to appear as a special guest on Bing's annual Christmas television special. Bowie and Bing sing duets on "Little Drummer Boy" and "Peace on Earth". The songs are recorded for Crosby's album "Merrie Olde Christmas".

1979 ABBA began their first North American tour more than five years after reaching the Top Ten in the US with "Waterloo". The group split up in 1980, but received a $1 billion offer in February, 2000, from an American-British consortium to re-unite for 100 concerts. They turned it down.

1982 - Decca Records releases The Beatle's audition tapes as the "Complete Silver Beatles" album. The collection is neither complete or The Silver Beatles, but rather twelve of the fifteen cover tunes recorded by John, Paul, George and Pete Best at their Decca audition on January 1st, 1962. The band had dropped the "Silver" from their name a year earlier. The missing songs were written by Lennon and McCartney and are always left off Decca releases, probably to avoid legal hassles.

1983 - Stevie Wonder's former guitarist, Michael Sembello, started a two week run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Maniac". The track was featured in the film Flashdance and reached #43 in the UK.

On this day September 9 in Rock history:

1967 - Sam And Dave's classic, "Soul Man" is released in the US, where it will rise to #4 by the end of November. The song would be given the 1968 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Group Performance, Vocal or Instrumental.

After reaching #34 earlier in the year with "The Oogum Boogum Song", Brenton Wood re-entered the Billboard chart with what would prove to be his only US Top Ten hit with "Gimme Little Sign". He would crack the Top 40 once more with "Baby You Got It" early the following year.

1970 - Elvis Presley kicks off a nine-city tour at a show in Phoenix, Arizona. MGM films portions of the first performance for use in Elvis - That's the Way It Is.

1971 - John Lennon's "Imagine" LP is released. It would reach #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named "Imagine" as #76 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
1972 - The Eagles' "Witchy Woman" is released. It will crack the Billboard Hot 100 by the end of September and rise to #9. Drummer Don Henley would later say "I had a very high fever and became semi-delirious at times, and that's when I wrote most of the lyrics."

1975 - Wings begins a 13 month world tour where they will play in front of over two million people.

ABC-TV premiers the comedy Welcome Back Kotter. The show not only provides actor John Travolta with his breakthrough role, it also gives former Lovin' Spoonful leader John Sebastian his only solo, US Top 40 hit, "Welcome Back". The song, used as the opening theme to the program, would top the Billboard Hot 100 in May, 1976 for one week.

1978 - The Rolling Stones' "Beast Of Burden" is released in the US where it will reach #8. In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #435 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" by the Los Angeles quartet A Taste Of Honey tops the Billboard Hot 100 for the first of three weeks. The song was Capitol Record's 40th number one hit. At next year's Grammy Awards, A Taste Of Honey was named Best New Artist, although they would reach the Top 40 only once more with a cover of Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki" in 1981.

On this day September 8 in Rock history:

1962 - Dickey Lee cracks the Billboard Top 40 for the first time with a song called "Patches". Despite some US radio stations refusing to play the record because of its teen su***de theme, it would still climb to #6 on the Hot 100 and enjoy an eleven week stay in the Top 40.

1971 - The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences presents Elvis Presley with the Bing Crosby Award, given to performers who "during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic or scientific significance to the field of phonograph records."

1972 - Actress Carrie Snodgrass gives birth to Neil Young's son, Zeke, who has cerebral palsy.

1973 - Marvin Gaye enjoyed his second #1 hit on the Billboard Pop chart with "Let's Get It On". He would place seven more records on the list by 1982, giving him a total of forty.

The Allman Brothers started a five week run at the top of the US album chart with "Brothers And Sisters", the group's only US #1 LP.
1976 - Disco band Wild Cherry's self-titled album, which includes their number one single, "Play that Funky Music", is certified Gold.

1977 - Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch quits Paul McCartney And Wings to join a reformed line-up of the Small Faces. Sadly, he died on September 27th, 1979 in his flat in Maida Vale, North West London at the age of 26.
