50TH: THE STONES ‘SATISFACTION’ ROCKS U.S.A., 1965!
(The Rolling Stones performing on CBS’ The Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday, February 13, 1966)
An MCRFB Note: It has been 50 years having passed when the Rolling Stones‘ “Satisfaction” first went to the top — No. 1 — on the Billboard singles chart here in the U.S.A., this week in July, 1965.
In his (July 4) Detroit Free Press entertainment column (‘ “Satisfaction” Marks 50-Year Triumph As Stones Hits Town’), Brian McCollum reviews how the group’s 50-year old anthem has significantly impacted a generation in reshaping, in having redefined the modern sound of “rock ‘n’ roll” around the globe, ever since.
“Satisfaction,” the band’s first international No. 1 hit, was recorded in May, 1965, during the Stones third North American (20-city) tour, April-May that year.
The Rolling Stone will take to the stage tonight, Wednesday July 8, 8:00 p.m., at Detroit’s Comerica Park. Welcome, once again Rolling Stones, to the Motor City!

‘RADIO’S BEST FRIEND’S VIDEO TRIBUTE: ALAN ALMOND
THE ENIGMATIC, MYSTERIOUS AND PRIVATE PERSONA THAT WAS ONE ALAN ALMOND.
JIM HARPER, WHAT DID HE REALLY LOOK LIKE?
Former WNIC morning personality Jim Harper responded to this very question posed to him on his personal Facebook page (June 23 at 8:31 p.m.) —
“I shared a link yesterday that featured the late, great Alan Almond and your response was huge. But some of you are still asking “What did he really look like…tell us please!” Here’s the closest photo (see photo below) of a gentleman who I always thought resembled Alan. It’s the iconic ladies man, Errol Flynn. I’m sure many who worked with Alan would agree, this is pretty close. Not identical, but close.”
Jim Harper, formerly from within the WNIC prime while you were there, having known Alan Almond during the three years I was at WNIC, in the early-mid 1980s, I can attest of your assessment you best described of Alan’s features. Yes, indeed. The Errol Flynn contrast (and even the hair!) is, for the most part, rather close. “Not identical, but (it is) close.” — Jim Feliciano
