Today on This Day in Music History, CLASSICKONG turns up the volume as we celebrate one of the greatest hard rock anthems ever recorded—Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” released on this day in 1976. We also revisit James Taylor’s heartfelt chart-topper “You’ve Got a Friend,” remember the timeless legacy of country legend Jim Reeves, and wish a happy birthday to Gary Lewis, M. Shadows, John 5, and Zac Brown.

Plus, we recognize National Mutt Day, salute our veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders, and close with a little reminder that some songs never grow old…

…and sometimes, you really do need more cowbell.
