Today would have been Eddie Van Halen’s 71st birthday.

Jamie’s Cryin’ first appeared on Van Halen’s debut album and it was the third released single to come from that album.  Though it didn’t chart, it was a favorite of both Eddie Van Halen’s and David Lee Roth’s, with Eddie later saying that Jamie’s Cryin’ should have been Van Halen’s single.

Enjoy!

For today’s Labor Day music video of the day, we have one of the earliest videos from Van Halen.
