Chinese Theatre
Epic Records released a new Michael Jackson album, “Number Ones,” on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2003.
From Those Were the Days:
On this date in…
“1984 – The largest crowd to see the unveiling of a Hollywood Walk-of-Fame star turned out as Michael Jackson got his piece of the sidewalk right in front of Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
1971 – Isaac Hayes of Memphis, TN, got his first #1 hit as the ‘Theme from Shaft‘ began a two-week stay at the top of the charts.”
The above two Chinese characters
mean “Shaft One,” according to
The Source:
Hayes won an Oscar for best song.
Getting shafted, premature withdrawl and Southern Drawls.
There’s something goin’ on heyah . . .

Interesting connection. However, Chinese for 1 (one) is usually written in laterally (-) not vertically as shown.
Can you tell me where the number sign (#) came from?
