Four months after releasing their self-titled debut album, the Birmingham, England boys were back in the studio for a follow-up record. Originally written as an afterthought, “Paranoid” became both the title track and the band’s signature song. And 54 years ago today, on Aug. 7, 1970, the world heard it for the first time.
