This Day in Rock History – August 8th

1969: One of the most iconic photos in rock history was shot on this day. Photographer Iain MacMillan takes a series of pictures of the Beatles in front of the EMI recording studio where the lads are working on what would be their final studio recording. (While Let It Be was released later, it was actually recorded earlier and shelved.)

From the series of six photographs taken in a span of just ten minutes, Paul McCartney selects a shot of the band crossing the street that also gave the album its name, Abbey Road.

1963: It was on this day that Beach Party, the first in a series we know call “the Beach Party films” opened in theaters. The movie gave brand new life to the career of two teen stars of the 1950’s – Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, forever teaming them in our memories.

The movie features music written by a young Brian Wilson and also introduces us to that immortal screen character Eric von Zipper, played by Harvey Lembeck.

Twenty-four years later, to the day, Frankie and Annette are reunited in Back to the Beach, only this time they play the parents, not the teenagers.
