The late Eddie Rabbitt was born in 1944.

A former farm employee for Wynonna (Judd) and her husband accused the couple in 1996 of sexual harassment and discrimination for not paying her as much as her male predecessor. The lawsuit sought $800,000 in damages.

Capitol Records announced in 1998 that Garth Brooks's "Double Live" CD had sold 1.09 million copies in its first week of release, beating the old record set in 1993 by Pearl Jam's "Vs," which had sold 950,000 copies its first week in stores.
