This Week in Rock History: Got You, Babe

Rock music has a robust history, so every Wednesday, J.A. Bartlett of the Hits Just Keep On Comin' talks about the biggest and most intriguing moments from years past...

This week in 2000, the Beatles launched their first official website, beatles.com. The website launch coincided with the release of the compilation album 1.

... in 1987, Sonny and Cher appeared on Late Night With David Letterman and allowed Dave to coax them into singing I Got You Babe. Despite their reluctance, the moment was at least somewhat magical.


... in 1971, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album arrived in American stores.

The flight attendant Morrison had been annoying later dropped the charges against him. During the same week one year later, Morrison played his final live show with the Doors in New Orleans. One year after that, Morrison would be dead from 27 years of being Jim Morrison.
