Good Friday afternoon, I know it has been a while since posting here on This Day In The History Of Music, and for that, I do apologize, so without further ado welcome to This Day In The History Of Music, and enjoy the read.    1). On this day in 1767, Apollo et Hyacinthus, K. 38, is an opera written in 1767 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was 11 years old at the time. It is Mozart's first true opera. It is in three acts. As is suggested by the name, the opera is based upon the Greek myth of Hyacinth and Apollo as told by Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses. Interpreting this work, Rufinus Widl wrote the libretto in Latin. 2). On this day in 1848, "Maamme" is the unofficial national anthem of Finland is first performed. The music was composed by the German immigrant Fredrik Pacius, with original Swedish words by Johan Ludvig Runeberg, and this music was performed for the first time on 13 May 1848. Originally, it was written for the 500th anniversary of Porvoo, and for that occasion, it was Runeberg himself who wrote the music. The poem was influenced by the "Szózat" of Mihály Vörösmarty, both in style and content. 3). On this day in 1965, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a song recorded by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. A product of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' songwriting partnership, it features a guitar riff by Richards that opens and drives the song. The riff by Richards is widely considered one of the greatest hooks of all time. The song lyrics refer to sexual frustration and commercialism. The song was first released as a single in the United States in June 1965 and was also featured on the American version of the Rolling Stones' fourth studio album, Out of Our Heads, released that July. "Satisfaction" was a hit, giving the Stones their first number one in the US. In the UK, the song initially was played only on pirate radio stations, because its lyrics were considered too sexually suggestive. It later became the Rolling Stones' fourth number one in the United Kingdom. It is one of the world's most popular songs and was No. 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list in 2021. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, and it is the 10th-ranked song on critics' all-time lists according to Acclaimed Music. The song was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2006. 4). On this day in 1966, "Paint It Black" is a song recorded 1966 by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. A product of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' songwriting partnership, it is an uptempo song with Indian, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European influences and features lyrics about grief and loss. London Records released the song as a single on 7 May 1966 in the United States; Decca Records released it on 13 May in the United Kingdom. London Records included it as the opening track on the American version of the band's 1966 studio album Aftermath. 5). On this day in 1970, The world premiere of the Beatles film "Let It Be" was in New York City on 13 May 1970. One week later, UK premieres were held at the Liverpool Gaumont Cinema and the London Pavilion. None of the Beatles attended any of the premieres. The Beatles won an Oscar for Let It Be in the category "Original Song Score", which Quincy Jones accepted on their behalf. 6). On this day in 1978, The Musical "Runaways" opens at Plymouth Theater in NYC for 199,   performances, was written, composed, choreographed, and directed by Elizabeth Swados. Runaways tell the story of the forgotten children living on the street of New York City in the 1970s. Initially created from interviews with homeless children, Runaways takes a hard look at the lives of children who have had to grow up too fast. This collection of songs, dances, and spoken word pieces gives the audience a deeper look into the personal struggles runaways face as these children try to navigate the scary, grown-up world around them. This large, diverse cast of youth actors makes Runaways a fantastic choice to showcase a talented group of young actors. 7). Born on this day in 1756, Wojciech Żywny (Czech: Vojtěch Živný; May 13, 1756 – February 21, 1842) was a Czech-born Polish pianist, violinist, teacher, and composer. He was Frédéric Chopin's first professional piano teacher. 😎. Born on this day in 1923, William McKinley "Red" Garland Jr. was an American modern jazz pianist. Known for his work as a bandleader and during the 1950s with Miles Davis, Garland helped popularize the block chord style of playing jazz piano. 9). Born on this day in 1935, Alessandro Carmelo "Teddy" Randazzo (May 13, 1935 – November 21, 2003) was an American pop songwriter, singer, arranger, and producer, who composed hit songs such as "Goin' Out of My Head", "It's Gonna Take a Miracle", "Pretty Blue Eyes", and "Hurt So Bad" in the 1960s. 10). Born on this day in 1941, Richard Steven Valenzuela (May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959), known professionally as Ritchie Valens, was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Valens was killed in a plane crash eight months into his music career. Valens had several hits, most notably "La Bamba", which he had adapted from a Mexican folk song. Valens transformed the song into one with a rock rhythm and beat, and it became a hit in 1958, making Valens a pioneer of the Spanish-speaking rock and roll movement. He also had an American number-two hit with "Donna". On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as "The Day the Music Died", Valens died in a plane crash in Iowa, an accident that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson. Valens was 17 at the time of his death. In 2001, Valens was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 11). Born on this day in 1943, Mary Esther Wells was an American singer, who helped to define the emerging sound of Motown in the early 1960s. Along with The Supremes, The Miracles, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and the Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America, "bridging the color lines in music at the time." 12). Born on this day in 1950, Stevland Hardaway Morris, known professionally as Stevie Wonder, is an American singer-songwriter and musician, who is credited as a pioneer and influence by musicians across a range of genres that includes rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and jazz. A virtual one-man band, his use of synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments during the 1970s reshaped the conventions of R&B. He also helped drive the genre into the album era, crafting his LPs as cohesive, consistent socially conscious statements with complex compositions. 13). Born on this day in 1966, Darius Carlos Rucker is an American singer and songwriter. He first gained fame as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, which he founded in 1986 at the University of South Carolina along with Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber. The band released five studio albums with Rucker as a member and charted six top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Rucker co-wrote most of the songs with the other members of the band.   Have a great Friday the 13th. Take care and stay safe.  ... View more

@Jazzlynn172005 I think it is very safe to say, every one of us has had our own days where we struggled with bad hair days, or I don't care what my hair looks like days. And compared to your hair in the photo, I have had much worse hair days. Except for in the summer, because I hate the heat I get buzz cuts.  Take care and stay safe.  ... View more

Good Friday morning, I will be adding three songs to the GSOTD post and playlist for today, the first two songs are from @AlyssaPandora from her post called New Music and the third song that I have chosen is also a brand new song. Enjoy the music.   Singer-songwriter//Ballad: I Still Love You by BANKS.  I Still Love You  The artist (born Jillian Banks) first wrote the song years ago, before her music career even took off, but hasn’t released it until now⁠—ahead of the release of her fourth album, Serpentina, in April. Still, the pared-back ballad remains one of her favorites. As the title and lyrics suggest, it was inspired by one of her former relationships—one of her first boyfriends, in fact—but to Banks, the message is “timeless” and “universal.” (Who hasn’t continued to care for someone after a breakup?) “It’s more of a feeling that every human experiences,” she tells ELLE.com, via Zoom from her home in L.A. I wrote it at least six [or] seven years ago before anything happened with my career, and it just felt like a really private, personal song. I don’t know why, I just never wanted to put it on an album. I always wanted to keep it to myself. It was almost like it meant so much to me that I didn’t want to put it out because it deserves so much. It’s probably just where I’m at right now—spending so much time on my own and working through things; I just feel good about it now. It’s such a special song. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written, and it feels like an ode to where songwriting for me started, just on my own, for myself. EM//Nu-Disco: Sea Dreamin' by Blank & Jones. Sea Dreamin' (Single) Blank & Jones are famous artists from Germany. Popnable collects information about4 of their songs.

Pop: Turn The Radio Up. by Train & Jewel Turn The Radio Up (Single)   Train has dropped a new song “Turn The Radio Up” featuring Jewel. The song is the latest from Train’s forthcoming 11th studio album, AM Gold set for release on May 20th via Columbia Records. Train is hitting the road this summer with Jewel and Blues Traveling on their Save Me San Francisco Wine Co Presents Train – AM Gold Tour. The trek kicks off June 8th in Mansfield, MA, and will make 35+ stops across North America before concluding on August 6th at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Good Friday afternoon, I will be adding three songs to the GSOTD post and playlist. The first song I will be adding comes by way of request from @AlyssaPandora and her song of choice is Honest by Kendyl Inskeep & Song House. I will be adding the last two songs one of which is a brand new one just recently released. Enjoy the music.    Singer-song writer: Honest by Kendyl Inskeep & Song House. Honest   There are a lot of great songs out there. The world is brimming with talent as the evolution of technology has brought the gifts of many a musical soul to rest in the palms of our hands. But every once in a while, a song comes out that tears down the facade many of us hide behind. Not in an effort to be inauthentic, but in order to survive. A song that put words to the silent cries of our hearts and a melody to our circumstances. “Honest” by Song House and Kyndal Inskeep is one of those songs. Written as if Kyndal and the creative minds at Song House had been privy to the pages of our journals, “Honest” hits hard in all the places we need to be seen. It exposes the depths of the reality of the human condition and makes people like me feel a little bit less alone. Song House may have already been on your radar as of late, with the sassy viral sensation “Round Hole” featuring Rebecca Brunner. Boasting Brunner’s velvety tone and impressive range, the anthemic “Round Hole” also made many people feel understood. Rhythm and blues: Better Man by Paolo Nutini.  Better Man  Paolo Giovanni Nutini is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician from Paisley. Nutini's debut album, These Streets, peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. Its follow-up, Sunny Side Up, debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Both albums have been certified quintuple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. Five years later, Nutini released his third studio album, Caustic Love, in April 2014. The album received positive reviews from music critics. Caustic Love debuted at number one on the UK Album Charts and was certified platinum by the BPI in June 2014. While Nutini has not formally addressed it, he has been on a hiatus since 2017.  Alternative Rock//Folk Rock: I Want More by Kaleo. I Want More  Kaleo's music has been influenced by genres such as blues rock, indie-folk, and alternative rock. In an interview with Rolling Stone, frontman JJ explained, "Growing up I was listening to a lot of American music and blues artists and such and that was what kind of connected us." Their blues influences are mainly drawn from Delta blues which was the target for some of the heavier songs in their album A/B. Their music prominently features a distinctive resonator sound.

@Angie365 I also love it, when growing up at an early age on my grandparents dairy farm all they played in the barn all day long was country music. When we went in the car some where with my parents, country music. If it weren't for my two eldest brothers introducing me to rock, rock n' roll, pop and all other different genres of music I would probably have grown up just listening to country.   Back in 2008 when I was going through a very difficult period music became therapeutic for me.  Well, @Angie365 thank you for posting, hope to see you in the community more. Take care and stay safe.  ... View more

@AlyssaPandora I hope you will, I think you'll like it. I have another one that is also with bagpipes but that one is the full version which is over 9 minutes long. It also happens to be one of my favorite versions but I thought not many people would be interested in listening to such a long rendition of Amazing Grace with just Bagpipes and some violin in the background.  Well, anyway, take care and stay safe.  ...
