Today In Entertainment History February 19 Posted by: Larry Riggs On February 19th, 1958, The Miracles released their first single, "Got A Job," an answer song for The Silhouette's "Get A Job." In 1972, Paul McCartney and Wings released "Give Ireland Back to the Irish," a commentary about the Northern Ireland conflict. It was banned by the BBC, but still reached the top 20 in England. In 1974, Dick Clark staged the first American Music Awards as an alternative to the industry-dominated Grammy Awards. The winners of the American Music Awards are determined by the votes of music fans. "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" by Tony Orlando and Dawn won for favorite pop single that year. In 1977, Fleetwood Mac released the album "Rumours." It sold more than 17 million copies. In 1980, AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott died after choking on his own vomit after an all-night drinking binge in London. He was 33. His death came just months after the band scored its first North American success with the album "Highway to Hell." In 1981, a New York Supreme Court judge ruled George Harrison "subconsciously plaigerized" the song "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons for his hit, "My Sweet Lord." Harrison was ordered to pay $587,000. In 1995, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee married Pamela Anderson of the TV show "Baywatch" on a beach in Cancun. The bride wore white -- a bikini. They've since divorced. In 1996, London police arrested singer Jarvis Cocker of Pulp for allegedly attacking three children performing with Michael Jackson at the Brit Awards. Cocker admitted walking onstage but denied touching any children; he was later cleared. In 1997, the Trinity Broadcasting Network canceled Pat Boone's "GospelAmerica" show after viewers complained about Boone's appearance on the American Music Awards. He had been promoting his "In a Metal Mood" album by wearing a dog collar and black leather. The show was later reinstated. Also in 1997, a judge in New York dismissed a seven-million-dollar lawsuit a fan filed against Motley Crue for hearing loss suffered at one of their concerts. The judge said the fan knew the concert would be loud going in to it.

Notable Beatle events on Feb. 21: In 1961, the Beatles played three gigs in Liverpool in one day - a lunch show at the Cavern, then later at the Cassanova Club and Litherland Town Hall. It was the first time they played three shows in one day, but it wouldn't be the last. In 1962, they played multiple gigs in Liverpool, but both at the Cavern, with lunchtime and evening shows. In 1963, they again played two gigs at the same location with two evening shows at the Majestic Ballroom in Birkenhead. In 1964, the Beatles headed home after a successful trip to America, where they'd conquered the country's teenagers. In 1967, they finished "Fixing A Hole" at EMI's Studio 2.

In an interview with The Evening Standard, Lennon commented, "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue that. I'm right and will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus right now."
