Joan Jett
On this day in music history Joan Jett And The Blackhearts started a seven-week run at #1 on the US singles chart with the song I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll! Cue the singing now.. 🎶
The song was a #4 hit in the UK.
What you may not know is.. I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll was orginally a B-side by a British 70’s band called, The Arrows.
Joan Jett saw The Arrows perform the song on TV!
