This Week In Music History: June 3 - June 9

June 3 2000, Britney Spears goes to No.1 on the US album chart with ’Oops!... I Did It Again’. Britney did it again and again as she reached No.1 in thirteen other countries. June 4 1967, The Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared at The Saville Theatre, London. Both Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the audience to see Hendrix perform the title track from Sgt Peppers which had been released 3 days earlier. June 5 1956, Elvis Presley appeared on ABC-TV’s ’Milton Berle Show’. During this performance, Presley abruptly halted an uptempo rendition of ’Hound Dog’ and launched into a slow, grinding, bluesier version with his energetic, exaggerated body movements. Presley’s gyrations created a storm of controversy. At least Milton had the good sense to allow the cameras to capture all of Elvis, not just from the waist up.
