5) Clapton song hits #1

On this day in 1974, Eric Clapton's hit "I Shot the Sheriff" was named number one on the Billboard charts.  The song was not the first single about crime to be a hit. "Stagger Lee," about the theft of a Stetson hat that leads to murder, has been recorded by many popular artists, and a song was also written about the assassination of President William McKinley ("White House Blues").
