This day in music history.

April 26, 1969, The Original Cast of 'Hair' started a 13-week run at No.1 on the US album chart. Composed by Galt MacDermot the show challenged many of the norms held by Western society. It caused controversy when it was first staged because the cast was completely naked. The Broadway show and the album were attacked as being subversive and anti American. Although there was much bad press, songs such as 'Aquarius', 'Good Morning Starshine', 'Let The Sunshine In' and "Hair" became part of the American pop culture and everyone from Frank Sinatra to Jimi Hendrix was singing the songs. The LP also won a Grammy for best score from an original cast album. The Cowsills had a #2 hit with the song Hair.
Hair
She asks me why, I'm a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and night,
hair that's a fright.
I'm hairy high and low,
don't ask me why,
cause he don't know.
It's not for lack of bread,
like the Grateful Dead.

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees,
give a home to the fleas in my hair.
