Her single "9 To 5" becomes a UK hit two months later and conquers America a year later.   1988 Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" hits #1 on the Hot 100, making him the first artist to score five #1 singles from the same album (Bad).   1962 Jimi Hendrix is honorably discharged from the Army after serving a little over a year of his 3-year commitment.
