In 1562 – The French Wars of Religion begin when 63 French Protestants – known as Huguenots – are massacred in Vassy. The Huguenots were worshiping when they were attacked by troops led by the Duke of Guise and the war would continue when Huguenots occupied Orleans in April. The wars did not end until 1598, with an estimated two to four million killed either from violence, famine, or disease. History refers to the incident at the Massacre of Vassy.
In 1988 – Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers establishes a new NHL record for most career assists in a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Gretzky’s assist on Yari Kurri’s first-period goal was the 1,050th of his career, breaking the record of 1,049 established by Gordie Howe from 1946-80. Gretzky ended his career in 1999 with 1,963 assists, a record that still stands.
In 1976 – Rhythm Heritage is at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the only week with Theme From S.W.A.T. It was the first of three chart singles for the group, their first of two Top 40 hits and remains their only #1 song. The song also went to #1 in Canada and was Billboard’s 29th-biggest hit of the year. The song was written by Barry De Vorzon, who orchestra provided the version actually used on the TV show.
