Ok I decided to create a new thread, something like a "On this day in No Doubt/Gwen Stefani's Music History" kind of archive. So feel free to add important events, birthdays, weddings, that happened on the exact day you're posting.
April 16 - In 1998, Gwen performed "Almost Blue" (Elvis Costello cover) at AT&T's Stormy Weather benefit concert.
Most fans might not have recognized the night’s first singer, Stefani, who has sold millions of records with ska-rockers No Doubt, as she lit into the Andrew Sisters’ “I Can Dream, Can’t I?” and the torch song “Almost Blue” dressed in a green satin, sequined gown and a bobbed, little-girl hairdo. The normally aggressive performer, however, maintained an edginess as she crafted the standard around her guttural vocal style and tough-girl swagger. (MTV)
