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 fourth year on Cashbox Radio, the latest edition of the Musical Milestones is November – Part 1:

  • The time that life imitated art for a couple of singers

  • The recording nobody wanted that still became a hit

  • The band that dared to announce it wouldn’t tour anymore

  • The time the FBI investigated a song because it might be obscene

  • The song made as a joke, but the joke was on the creator 

  • The first great Wall of Sound recording

  • The biggest instrumental hit on radio

  • When John Lennon came out of hibernation

  • And the hit record that was born on a dark and stormy night.

  • Read Scott’s article on the origins of the Musical Milestones in Cashbox Magazine.
