Country Superstar Garth Brooks is born. Although purists question Brooks's musical integrity and artistry, it is undeniable that Brooks
not only brought country music to a much larger audience but he also reinvented
the genre in the early 1990's. Brooks's multi-platinum selling albums,
stadium concert extravaganzas, and the use of techology (headset microphone)
in a genre known for its resistance to sophisticated technology are indicative
of the Jupiter-Uranus combination.
During 1962, when Jupiter opposed the Pluto-Uranus Conjunction, the
Beatleswent from relative obscurity to eventual super-stardom. It
was during this short one-year period that Ringo joined the band, first
collaborated with George Martin, released their first single, and recordedtheir
first # 1 hit, 'Please, Please, Me.' Certainly this meteoric rise to fame
corresponds to Jupiter's capacity to elevate, expand, and grant success.
The group which might legitimately challenge the Beatles for the title
of "World's Greatest Rock'n' Roll Band," The Rolling Stones,
form their core line-up which would remain in tact over four decades
and give their first live performances in London.
Peter, Paul & Mary release their eponymous album, arguably the
apex of the folk flowering in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The
album was a massive hit, reaching number one, selling two million copies,
and spawning the hit singles "Lemon Tree" and "If I Had a Hammer."
