On this day, 50 years ago, ‘Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy’ was released. An autobiographical album telling the story of how Bernie & I met and strived for success in the late 60s. It made history as the first album ever to debut at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and stayed there for seven weeks, featuring "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and the iconic Alan Aldridge artwork - it’s one of the albums I’m proudest of.
