June 27th, 1964

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

6/27/64 – The Rolling Stones appear as the entire panel on the hit British television series “Juke Box Jury”

(Note how Keith Richards' name was spelled "Richard" back then ... this was a move by Rolling Stones Manager Andrew Loog Oldham to make Keith look, in his words, "more pop."  Richards wouldn't change it back to his proper surname until the early '70's.)

Also on 6/27, Singer Ethel Merman and Actor Ernest Borgnine are married in Beverly Hills, California.  The marriage will last 38 days.

(Probably because every night when they'd get home from a day of filming, Ethel would ask him "So, whattaya wanna do tonight?" and he would always respond, "I dunno ... whatta YOU wanna do?"  It ultimately drove her batty!)
