   BROADCAST BULLETIN (Daily Updates) 

September 4, 1948 — The Orioles' debut record, "It's Too Soon To Know," is released, reaching #1 R&B and, significantly, #15 pop — the first time an R&B vocal group reaches that high on the pop chart.
                        1952 — Eight-year-old Gladys Knight (right), her siblings, and cousins form the Pips at a birthday party for her 10-year-old brother Bubba when their record player malfunctions. They name themselves after the nickname of another cousin, James "Pip" Woods. The group's founding builds on the musical success Gladys had earlier that summer when, at age 8, she won first prize on the nationally televised talent contest Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour.
                        1957 — Jerry Lee Lewis files for divorce from his second wife, Jane Mitchum. Before it's final, he marries his 13-year-old cousin Myra Gale Brown three months later, causing adverse public reaction that leads to his professional downfall. Altogether, Lewis is married seven times.
 

September 7, 1936 — Buddy Holly is born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas.
                        1955 — DJ Alan Freed begins broadcasting his rock 'n' roll show over 50,000 watt AM radio powerhouse WINS in New York city, having recently moved from Cleveland, where his nighttime show was a sensation with youth. Among the first white DJs to play black music, Freed brings R&B music to a wider audience in New York, and the sound quickly goes mainstream. One of his first records is Ruth Brown's "Oh What A Dream."
September 8, 1955 — Chuck Berry does the duck walk for the first time in performance at an Alan Freed rock concert at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater. He had borrowed the move, along with some guitar riffs, from limber R&B guitarist T-Bone Walker, who began strutting it in the 1930s. Berry adopts the gait because his suit acquired wrinkles on the way to New York from St. Louis, so he keeps a crouch on stage to conceal them, improvising the step along the way. The crowd loves it, so Berry repeats it at the rest of the shows.

September 10, 1955 — Berry's first hit, "Maybellene," reaches its peak U.S. chart positions (#1 R&B, #5 pop).
                          1963 — John Lennon and Paul McCartney attend a Rolling Stones rehearsal in London, where the pair complete a song they were working on, "I Wanna Be Your Man," and give it to the Stones, who use it as their second British single.

September 9, 1954 — Johnny Cash watches in the audience as Elvis Presley performs for the grand opening of the Katz Drug Store in Memphis, Tennessee, and afterward meets the rising star.
