This Day in Rock History – September 28th

1963: New York disc jockey, Murray the K obtains a copy of a record that has really caught on in Great Britain. For two weeks, he plays “She Loves You” by the Beatles on his show. He gets little in the way of response.

Four months later, when Beatlemania finally overtakes the United States, Murray will be able to claim he was the first American deejay to play the band.
