THURSDAY BACKTRACK: Music and news from 60 years ago - week ending 4 November 1961

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


At #2 this week is Elvis Presley’s ‘His latest flame’:

Some memorable events (via Wikipedia):

28 October – Berlin crisis: ‘American and Soviet tanks began a gradual withdrawal from stand-off positions either side of the border.’

30 October: In response to the USA’s nuclear weapon superiority and greater ability to deliver, the USSR explodes a 50-megaton atomic bomb, the ‘Tsar Bomba‘ as a demonstration of its own power, even though it was not yet capable of launching a strike against America.

31 October: Stalin’s body is removed from Red Square Mausoleum, where it has lain next to Lenin’s since November 1953. https://www.thoughtco.com/body-of-stalin-lenins-tomb-1779977

‘Some say the writing was on the Kremlin Wall when Stalin was unceremoniously lifted off his own personal catafalque, taken outside and dropped into a nearby grave, and at the dead of night too, so as not to cause any fuss. I was there when it happened and it was all because a dotty little old lady rose to her feet at the 1961 Communist Party Congress and told delegates: ‘Yesterday I asked Ilyich for guidance and it was as if he stood before me, alive, and said to me: ‘I don’t like being next to that man, Stalin.’ They had Stalin out of the Mausoleum that very night. Lenin was alone again.’
- John Miller, ‘All Them Cornfields And Ballet In The Evening‘, Hodgson Press 2010, p. 233
