July 26, 1979 –
The Clash releases their first U.S. single, I Fought the Law on this date.
This was written by Sonny Curtis, who was a member of The Crickets (Buddy Holly’s group). The Crickets recorded it shortly after Buddy Holly’s death in 1959 and released it on their 1960 album In Style With The Crickets. If Holly had lived, there’s a good chance it would have been a huge hit for The Crickets.
