September 29th
Rock and roll, country, hard rock, new wave and funk-pop come together in today’s episode of The Music Dial, with stories connected to September 29.
We remember Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Autry and Mark Farner, revisit Grand Funk Railroad reaching number one in America with We’re an American Band, return to The Police and their first UK number-one hit Message in a Bottle, and step back into Prince’s legendary Purple Rain era with Let’s Go Crazy.
One date, several generations, and music stretching from the birth of rock and roll to some of the defining sounds of the 1980s.
