Barry survived the Bermuda Triangle. That’s the takeaway from this very gorgeous photo of our lads.

30-year-old Aretha Franklin’s live gospel album, Amazing Grace, was released on 1 June 1972.

Recorded over 2 nights in January at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, the double album was a commercial and critical success. It received a Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance and remains the best-selling live gospel album of all time.

A documentary of the performances, directed by Sydney Pollack, was scheduled to be released in August 1972, but Pollack was unable to complete the film (due to sound synchronization problems).

After the film had been completed in 2011, Aretha Franklin sued twice to stop its release (citing illegal licensing issues) and it was finally released in 2018, 3 months after Franklin’s death.

A Day In The Life - 26th August 1968: US single release of “Hey Jude / Revolution.”

One of The Beatles’ most successful singles, “Hey Jude / Revolution” is issued in the US on this day. It is also the group’s first on their Apple label, and has the catalog number Apple 2276.

“Hey Jude” is a huge success in America, spending a total of 19 weeks on the charts from 14 September. The previous day it is certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The single tops the US Billboard chart for nine consecutive weeks, from 28 September to 23 November 1968. It is the longest time spent by a Beatles single at number one, and also set the record for the longest US number one single.

Additionally, as some US charts counted A- and B-sides separately, combining sales and airplay for their rankings, at one point Record World has Hey Jude at number one and Revolution at number two.
