Today is the first day of Ramadan. Ramadan is a period of fasting and spiritual growth and is one of the five “pillars of Islam” – the others being the declaration of faith, daily prayer, alms-giving and the pilgrimage to Mecca. Able-bodied Muslims are expected to abstain from eating, drinking and sexual relations from dawn to sunset each day of the month.
On this day in 1985, John Fogarty went to number one on the album chart with Centerfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq3hEMUeBGQ
