In 1967, The Beatles possibly released the greatest masterpiece of their careers. Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in America and was definitely more experimental than any of their previous releases.
If you haven’t heard this album before, I highly recommend just lying down in a dark room and letting this album play start to finish.
You’re welcome.
I’m Wayne Brady B*tch!! I know he is mostly known for his acting, but this guy for sure has a golden voice.
Happy Birthday Wayne. Looking good at 47!

This song was deemed too sexually suggestive. Not exactly sure where they got that idea…
