On this date in 1970, Python Lee Jackson released the single In a Broken Dream, featuring uncredited vocals by Rod Stewart. Originally intended as a guide vocal, Stewart’s raw, impassioned delivery proved so captivating that the band decided to keep his voice in the final mix. His friend, a car showroom manager, convinced him to lend his talents to the recording, knowing the group was struggling to nail the right sound. Stewart later recalled the unusual nature of his payment to Uncut magazine:
