5 Nov 1974 Ryan Adams, singer, songwriter, (2001 UK No.53 single 'New York, New York'). He was in a group called Whiskeytown, then went solo. His backing band is the Cardinals.
On this day in 2001 Ryan Adams shoots the video for his song "New York, New York" in NYC, in the background of the video is the World Trade Center, and four days later was 9-11... It peaked at #18 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart and reached #18 in the U.K.; but surprisingly it did not make Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart...

Watch the recent documentary on The Style Council. They were a much better band than I realised - Paul Weller really is a great artist.

9 Nov 1974 Bachman Turner Overdrive went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet'. Randy Bachman stuttered through the lyrics of the demo recording as a private joke about his brother Gary, who had a speech impediment. The record company liked that take better than the non-stammering version and released it.
