    There are a right eclectic bunch of musicians born on this day, AOR, Hip hop, Zydeco, 60s Beat and Doo-wop/R&B.

    Firstly Happy 66th Bitrhday to Califonian Soft Rocker, Stephen Bishop who was born in San Diego on this day in 1951.
    This song is notable for an early recording of Chaka Khan on backing vocals and a guitar solo from "Slowhand" Clapton...

    It took a marriage to a New Zealand girl to make me listen to Split Enz. Probably NZ's most well known rock band. Everybody must know this one. I Got You:


    And if you don't then you'll know them as Crowded House. This is [Always take the] Weather With You: Now I bet you know them.


    Incidentally, I've been down Mount Pleasant Street in Auckland [listen to the lyrics in the 2nd song] because an in-law lived there at the time. The only thing is it isn't called Mount Pleasant St, just plain old Pleasant St. Poetic licence, I guess. Apparently Neil Finn's sister lived in Mount Pleasant ROAD, but not at 57, so there's another bit of useless trivia to gum up your brain as it does mine. It's not even notable enough for a pub quiz. ;)
