Little Richard and Eric Clapton Share September 14 Milestones

September 14 marks several notable moments in music and cultural history. In 1985, Malaysia’s first Penang Bridge officially opened, linking the Malay Peninsula with Penang Island after engineers overcame difficult soft-ground conditions. Music milestones include Little Richard’s 1955 recording of “Tutti Frutti,” Eric Clapton’s 1974 No. 1 cover of “I Shot the Sheriff,” and the 1979 release of the film “Quadrophenia.” The date also includes country music highlights such as Luke Bryan’s 2014 debut at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Sam Hunt’s first Madison Square Garden performance in 2017, Carrie Underwood’s 2018 album “Cry Pretty,” and later concerts by Dan + Shay.
