January 12th in Barrington History

Welcome to Tuesday, January 12, 2021 and Day 12 of 365! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage.

Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.

Today’s features debut single, ‘Wannabe’, by British girl group the Spice Girls. Why? Well, because Mel C (a.k.a. “Sporty Spice”) was born on this day in history, January 12th, 1974! Released by Virgin in June, 1996, ‘Wannabe’ scored The Spice Girls the 1996 UK No.1 & 1997 US No.1 single spots. Happy bday, Sporty Spice!
