This Day In Music Search

The Bee Gees made their last ever concert appearance when they appeared at the Love and Hope Ball, Miami Beach, Florida.

Winners at the 20th Annual Grammy Awards included Fleetwood Mac, Album of the year for Rumours. The Eagles, Record of the year for Hotel California, Best pop vocal performance went to The Bee Gees for 'How Deep Is Your Love.' Crystal Gayle won Best Female Country Vocal Performance for 'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue' and Song of the Year went to Barbra Streisand & Paul Williams (songwriters) for 'Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)'.

Genesis released their debut single, 'The Silent Sun.' The band's earliest seeds were sewn at Godalming's Charterhouse Boarding School, where the soulful vocal talent of Peter Gabriel impressed pop record producer Jonathan King. Aiming to secure King's approval and a recording contract Gabriel and Tony Banks wrote together 'The Silent Sun,' knowing that King was a fan of the Bee Gees, Banks and Gabriel wrote the song specifically to capture his attention.
