Today in Music History – August 27

On August 27 Tina Turner received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1986, recognizing her incredible contributions to the music industry. In 1988, Michael Jackson’s highly anticipated album Bad was previewed on a Los Angeles radio station, just days before its official release, with advance orders already exceeding 2.2 million copies. On the same date in 1990, the blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan tragically died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin shortly after performing with Eric Clapton. Additionally, in 2003, John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics to “A Day In The Life” were auctioned for $1.2 million, reflecting the lasting influence and value of his work.
