Today in 1966, Jimi Hendrix's first single is released "Hey Joe." Before the hit, Jimi was fronting in the band Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, until his manager Chas Chandler of The Animals suggested he leave the band. Chandler set up a new band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, which included drummer Mitch Mitchell, and bassist Noel Redding. They would record "Hey Joe," and an original by Hendrix called "Stone Free." Chandler and the band take the recordings to Decca Records which rejects them, however, this is the same record company that denied The Beatles. The songs are then taken to Polydor who agrees to release "Hey Joe" as a single. The song was introduced to the UK and reached number six on the UK Singles Chart in February 1967. The song "Hey Joe" has a vast history, changing lyrics, genres, and original composers. The song is generally accredited to American folk musician
Billy Roberts, but it was Tim Rose's slower version of the song that inspired Jimi. Chandler happened to be at Cafe Wha?where he found Jimi with Jimmy James and the Blue Flames performing the song. Ironically, the night before Chandler had heard Tim Rose's version, and he vowed to find a musician to record this song in London. After the performance Chandler was determined to take Hendrix back with him, give him a new band, and record his version of "Hey Joe." Hendrix revolutionized the song with his intricate, unique vibrato techniques, and creative electric guitar rhythm to make it his own.

Today in 1961: Bob Dylan took to the stage in New York for his first major gig at Gerdeβs Folk City. Dylan was hired to open for none other than the blues icon John Lee Hooker, for a two-week engagement that would go down in history. His setlist included classics like "House of the Rising Sun," "Song to Woody," and "Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues." He played two other songs that night, identified only as "unknown Woody Guthrie song" and "a black blues," showcasing his incredible range and versatility as a musician. The audience was blown away, including folk legend Dave Van Ronk who attended Dylan's first show and declared, "he was absolutely remarkable." It was a night that would go down in history, but unfortunately, none of the concerts were recorded and amateur recordings have never surfaced.
