We say happy birthday to Placido Domingo born on this day in Madrid, Spain, in 1941. Domingo made his US debut in Dallas in 1961. I did not know that. He’s been performing for 50 plus years: over 3,800 performances of 147 roles plus many audio and video recordings and films.
Let’s remember Super Bowl 13 or Dallas vs Pittsburgh or Roger Staubach vs. Terry Bradshaw or Coach Landry vs Coach Knoll. It turned out to be the last post-season game played in the 1970’s between the best two teams of the decade.
MEET THE BEATLES was released on this day in 1964……or many years ago today. The album is a combination of the first two UK albums plus “I want to hold your hand”, the big single released in the US. It was not their best album in retrospect but it was exactly the kind of debut that the group needed.
