Patti Smith - Gloria

On this date in 1977, Patti Smith re-released her fourth single, "Gloria". It was backed by a live version of "My Generation". The A side was different this time as the editing that took place to clean it up the first time was not done this time. The A side appeared on her 1975 debut album, Horses. The live B side was added as a bonus track to the album when it was re-released on CD. This re-release was only available as a 12 inch record. The New Jersey singer/poet was one of the founders of the New York punk scene and was a regular at CBGB's. She was the last performer on stage on October 15, 2006, the last night that CBGB's was open.
