Today is Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day (Atatürk’ü Anma, Gençlik ve spor Bayramı), a public holiday in Turkey. The holiday commemorates Mustafa Kemal’s (Ataturk) landing at the Black Sea city of Samsun on May 19th 1919, which is regarded as the beginning of the Turkish War of Independence.
On this day in 1973, Paul Simon released the single, Kodachrome. It was never released in Britain because BBC would not play the trademarked name.
