Today In Rock-N-Roll History 1/28 (Elvis & The Who)



1956

Elvis Presley made the first of four appearances on the weekly TV program Stage Show, where he performed "Shake Rattle And Roll", "Flip Flop and Fly" and "I Got A Woman". Actor Jackie Gleason would say "He can't last, I tell you flatly, he can't last," but after the initial show, Presley's contract was extended to a total of six appearances.

1965

The Who perform their debut hit, "I Can't Explain" on the UK music show Ready, Steady, Go!. To project the desired image, the hand-picked audience consists only of teens dressed in the current Mod fashion.

1966

Brian Poole quit The Tremeloes for a solo career. The move didn't work out for him as he would only achieve moderate success, but the rest of the band would score two big hits with "Here Comes My Baby" and "Silence is Golden".
