"Heartbreak Hotel" actually went Platinum.
Actually, "Oh Happy Day" was not a song by Billy Preston; it was performed by the Edwin Hawkins Singers and became a significant hit in the late 1960s. The first song to be certified as a gold record by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) was "Poor Little Fool" by Ricky Nelson in 1958. Billy Preston is known for hits like "Nothing from Nothing" and "Will It Go Round in Circles."
The song entitled Wreck of the Old 97 was on the country's first million-selling record. It was a 1924 recording by Dalhart.
Billy Joel recorded the song "Just the Way You Are" in 1977 on his album, The Stranger. It was his first US Top 10 and UK Top 20 single which reached number 3 in the US and it was also his first gold single.

Randy DeLay was the drummer for the song Keep Your Hands to Yourself. He was my nephew. He received a gold and platinum record for his work. He left the Ga Satellites before the song was a hit. They used his drumming on the hit record.
The first artist to record the song "Something" was Frank Sinatra in 1969. The song, written by George Harrison of The Beatles, was featured on their album "Abbey Road." Sinatra's version helped popularize the song, which has since been covered by numerous artists.
I believe it was J.J. Jackson
John Wall was the first european to record the nature of a hurricane. That's why he made the song called john wall
