On This Day In Music

This is a fun way to share music history. Is your favorite artist celebrating a birthday, aniversary or a classic album was released? If it happened on this day in music, post it here. I'll start.

Back in Black was released July 25, 1980 and was the first AC/DC album recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott. Scott died five months prior and the album is dedicated to him. The band considered disbanding after Bon Scott's death but continued at the urging of Scott's parents. They then hired Brian Johnson as their new lead singer and lyricist.

Back in Black is the second best-selling album worldwide behind only Michael Jackson's Thriller. It is the sixth best-selling album in the United States.

August 16, 1965, David Jones' official stage name became David Bowie.

I honestly did not know this until just now when I looked up music history for August.

^I always thought he did it because of Davy Jones of the Monkeys but there's a little more to it.

Dissatisfied with his stage name as Davy (and Davie) Jones, which in the mid-1960s invited confusion with Davy Jones of The Monkees, Bowie renamed himself after the 19th century American frontiersman Jim Bowie and the knife he had popularised.
