Decca Records releases The Who’s “My Generation” in America. Issued three weeks earlier in Great Britain, the song had become a sort of anthem for British teens, rising to number two on the UK chart. In the US however, despite performing the tune on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, the song will be mostly ignored and would get no higher than number 74 on the Billboard chart. “My Generation” was later named #11 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
