It was a big deal at the time since it was his first US tour since 1976.  In his later years, he plays every few years most major cities even if he doesn't tour, it seems like he appears frequently.  The 11 O'clock new...

Johnny Burnette was 26 when he release "You're Sixteen" and went to #8 on Billbaord in 1960.  Ringo had an even bigger #1 hit with it in 1974.following up the prior...
