On this day:
In 1953, the first colour television was made available for sale.
In 1969, legendary singer Frank Sinatra recorded one of his biggest hits, “My Way”, which was written by Canadian singer/songwriter Paul Anka.
In 1981, hockey hall of famer Wayne Gretzky reached the 50-goal plateau faster than any player in National Hockey League history by notching five goals in a 7-5 home win for Edmonton Oilers over Philadelphia Flyers. It was his 39th game of the 1981/1982 season.
