1968: A riot erupts in Chicago’s Grant Park when Sly & the Family Stone fail to show up for a free concert. This is only one of many late or cancelled appearances for the band.
The group tries to capitalize of the event by releasing an album titled There’s a Riot Goin’ On. The album yields the hit single “Family Affair” and goes on to million-seller status, but the damage to the band’s reputation and popularity never goes away. By January of 1975, the group breaks up following dismal attendance at a concert at Radio City Music Hall.
1976: The Four Seasons finally score their first #1 hit in the UK.
“December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” does what “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll,” and many other of the group’s earlier U.S. hits couldn’t. Alas, it also proves to be the vocal groups last U.K. # 1.
