Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

We can argue all day long about who invented heavy metal. But there’s no denying that Black Sabbath largely shaped the genre. Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne banded together to form the legendary quartet in 1968. 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.
