On July 15th, in 1944, Rhythm & Blues singer Millie Jackson was born in Thomson, Georgia. She's most noted for her single "Hurts So Good". The song was released in 1973 and rose to number 24 on the US charts and 32 on the UK charts. She also did a song with Elton John in 1985 called "Act of War". Her LPs released on the Spring/Polydor imprint during the 70s are some of her best work. Her sound can be characterized as funky, blues-based soul. Millie's well-known for her monologues and realistic spins on romance, as well as her collaborations with the infamous-Isaac Hayes
On July 15th, in 1951, Reggae singer/songwriter Gregory Isaacs was born in Denham Town, Jamaica. He's most known for his hit single Hot Stepper and his full length LP-Night Nurse. Simply Red & Ini Kamoze would make hits off his songs (Night Nurse & Hotstepper). Isaac's has one of the smoothest vocals of all the reggae greats. His ability to sing ballads and command the crowd are legendary. He passed away on the 25th of October in 2010 from lung cancer.
On July 15th, in 1985, men's magazines Penthouse and Playboy both released issues containing naked pictures of pop icon and singer Madonna that were taken in 1977. Madonna's openly sexual image was always a point of contention for the corporate suits in the music industry.
On July 15th, in 2007, another artist known for their unique views on sex, the artist known as Prince, managed to piss the entire music industry off. He purchased the cover page of a UK newspaper and sent out mailers telling readers and residents that he would be giving away his 10-track CD "Planet Earth" for free. The CD's official release date was set for July 24th, 2007. The Newspaper director, Stephen Miron was quoted as saying: "No one has done this before. We have always given away CDs and DVDs, but this is just setting a new level." S.O. to Prince for always doing it his way! I wish he would've given away free vinyl copies of Planet Earth..
