The short answer

In 1947 Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Chuck Yeager flew faster than sound and India and Pakistan became independent. Bell Labs demonstrated the transistor, the Marshall Plan was proposed and the World Series was televised for the first time. Billboard ranked "Near You" the top record of the year.
