Today in Rock History
June 5, 1971
Paul McCartney’s second solo album, Ram, begins a two-week run at No. 1 on the UK chart. Featuring the US No. 1 single “Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey,” the album was recorded during McCartney’s legal fight to dissolve The Beatles’ partnership, following their breakup the previous year. John Lennon felt that several tracks, especially “Too Many People” and “Dear Boy,” were directed at him. The album reached No. 2 in the US and has since been re-evaluated as one of Paul’s strongest and most creative solo efforts.
Former Kansas F Bryson Tiller has committed to #Mizzou, making Border War history as the first men's player to transfer directly between the rivals.
The former 5-star recruit averaged 25.9 minutes, 7.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
