Vintage clippings: George Martin and the launch of Radio One
On Sept. 20, 1967, the BBC launched Radio One, its first station dedicated to pop music. The station and format was spurred into being from the commercial offshore "pirate" radio stations broadcasting into England from international waters.
Obviously, the pirates and Radio 1 played a lot of Beatles music, and the new station commissioned the band's producer, George Martin, to pen a theme song for its launch, which he titled "Theme One."
Here are some vintage clippings about the station's launch, followed by Martin's theme.

Paul McCartney pays tribute to Civil Rights leader John Lewis
Paul McCartney paid tribute on Twitter to Civil Rights leader and former U.S. Congressman John Lewis who died at age 80 this week. Paul suggested that the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., be re-named in Lewis' honor.
Police attacked Lewis, Rev. Martin Luther King and other Civil Rights marchers with billy clubs and tear gas as they marched peacefully across it on their way to the state capitol building in March 1965.
The bridge is named after Edmund Pettis, a former confederate general, U.S. senator and leader in the Ku Klux Klan.
