Musical Milestones
Scott chronicles significant anniversaries in the history of popular music on The Musical Milestones.
Based on his popular CBC Radio feature, The Musical Almanac, The Musical Milestones can be heard on Cashbox Radio.
Now in its fifth year on Cashbox Radio, the latest edition of the Musical Milestones is January – Part 2:
How a misunderstood lyric leads to a #1 hit
The first artist with a #1 album before he was old enough to vote
The unremarkable start to a remarkable career
One of the wildest acts to ever appear on television
A record exec proves his knack for picking hits…twice for the same artist
A very early recording by a duo that wasn’t destined to last, but one member would become a legend
The two sides of Chicago
Elvis finds his way back to the top of the charts
And a department store executive exacts revenge against Neil Young.
Read Scott’s article on the origins of the Musical Milestones in Cashbox Magazine.
