Average White Band’s classic “Pick Up the Pieces” hits #1 today in 1975. “.. The name of the band started out as an ‘in’ saying among us,” said bassist Alan Gorrie. “You know, we’d be listening to a track and say ‘not bad for an average white band.’ I guess it just stuck ..”

It’s a great day in music history, as Bowie releases “Young Americans” 51 years ago today — his first US hit. Of the song, he said: “No story. Just young Americans. It’s about a newlywed couple who don’t know if they really like each other. Well, they do, but they don’t know if they do or don’t.”

Go-Go’s release “Head Over Heels” as a single 42 years ago today. 🎂 “That was the beginning of the end, that album," said Belinda Carlisle. It has a “cheerful melody” — but also “captures the darker side of fame. I had an appreciation for the lyrics then, but not like I do now.”

Loverboy’s Paul Dean turns 80 today. Of “Working for the Weekend,” he said: “.. unlike us part time musicians, .. our fans are still .. working their butts off, waiting for that 5 o’clock .. And then there they are, every time we come into town .. ready to rock. It’s definitely a Call to Action.”

“Losing My Religion” turns 35 today. 🎂 “If I ever had an ambition,” Michael Stipe once said, “it might have been to have a song of the summer — and ‘Losing My Religion’ became R.E.M.’s song of the summer. .. That was thrilling.” 🎸 @remhq.bsky.social @michaelstipe.bsky.social

Phil Collins’ “No Jacket Required” turns 41 today. 🎂 “Sussudio”, he said, was a good “example of improvising lyrics.” While laying down tracks in the studio, “I started to sing .. and this word just came out. .. I was originally gonna replace it but .. the rhythm of the word felt so good.”
