Here are some of the big entertainment stories from January 19th from past years.

On this day in 1974, a nine-mile traffic jam kept fans from attending performances by Bob Dylan and The Band in Miami. Many ticket holders didn't get in until the show was half over, prompting some demonstrations.

In 1977, Aretha Franklin sang ``God Bless America'' at a special inaugural concert for President-elect Jimmy Carter, who took the oath of office the next day.

In 1980, Michael Jackson got his first gold record, for ``Off the Wall.''

In 1993, Fleetwood Mac reunited for the Inaugural Gala for President-elect Bill Clinton.

Also in 1993, singer Tom Waits was allowed to keep the $2.5 million that a judge awarded him after he sued Frito-Lay for using a sound-alike in a commercial. The Supreme Court refused to change the amount of the award.
