1952 - John Tesh, born on the 9th of July in Long Island, New York. He went virtually unrecognized as a musician and composer, instead enjoying television success as the co-host of the nightly showbiz news magazine Entertainment Tonight.
1958 - Began playing piano at the age of six; as a teen, he also played organ and trombone with local rock bands.
1981 - He joined CBS Sports as a commentator, where he later won Emmy Awards for his Pan American Games theme and the theme to the Tour de France.
1986 - He left CBS to host the syndicated Entertainment Tonight with co-anchor Mary Hart; while television remained his primary focus, he continued writing and performing music.
1988 - Issued his first album, Tour de France. Critics panned his brand of melodramatic, orchestral new age music, but the success of further efforts including Garden City proved a growing audience existed for his work.
1991 - He won another pair of Emmys for his music for NBC Sports' coverage of the World Track and Field Championships; a year later, he formed his own label, GTS, and issued Romantic Christmas, his biggest hit to date.
1993 - 1994 - Smashes including Monterey Nights and Sax by the Fire followed.
1995 - His PBS special and album Live at Red Rocks emerged as something of a phenomenon.
