Good day class! I am your ‘Soul School Sunday’ Professor Shawn Knight and today we are going to talk about memorable moments in history that took place this week.
Where were YOU when these events happened?
October 20th, 1971 - Snoop Dogg celebrated his 54th birthday
The Westcoast rapper discovered by Dr. Dre rose to fame in the 1990’s by appearing on the single “Deep Cover” has since released classic albums, starred in movies, and making a return to the Olympics as a special commentator.
October 22th, 1938 - Actor Christopher Lloyd turned 87
The Hollywood Actor who has been in the industry since the 1960’s is best known for his role as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy and Jim Ignatowski in the comedy series Taxi
October 24th, 1987 - Michael Jackson started a two week run at #1 with his single “Bad”.
It was his third and final collaboration with Quincy Jones and sold more than 2.25 million copies in its first week in the US.
October 25th, 1978 - John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ premiered in movie theaters.
With Halloween approaching it is only appropriate that I include the day that the world was introduced to Michael Myers who struck fear in a small town of Haddonfield Illinois. With 13 films (1 which he wasn’t included) Michael Myers is still one of the most feared villains in horror movie cinema.
October 26th, 1984 - The Terminator premiered in movie theaters.
The year is 1984 and Arnold Schwarzenegger was sent from 2029 to terminate Sarah Conner who’s unborn son is the one who will save the world. With plenty of suspense and action this movie is an all time classic. Wait, 2029 is 4 years away! Hmmm...
October 26th, 1985 - Whitney Houston went to #1 with her single ‘Saving All My Love For You’
Her 2nd single from her debut album “Whitney” this single earned Whitney a.k.a “The Voice” her 1st Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Thank you for you attention class. You’re dismissed....
