Just a couple of highlights from this week in music history!
FEB 7: Happy birthday to Garth Brooks, born today in 1962!
Amazingly, Brooks is the only artist ever to have nine - yes 9 - albums go to diamond status (10M copies = Diamond). He is one of the best-selling artist's having sold more than 170 million records worldwide. Plus, he's supposedly a nice guy!
FEB 12: Today, Burt Bacharach passed away at 94. His songs have been recorded by an astounding 1000+ different artists! As one of the most important and prolific composers of the 20th century, Bacharach wrote 73 U.S. Top 40 songs. RIP
