OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 QUIZPIC: This gentleman is currently featured in our Top 40. Who is he ?
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 It's not Tennessee Ernie, Elvis Or Pat Boom.
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Yes. How did you get that so fast
edna Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Because my aunt -back in the early sixties- had some LPs of Percy Faith & his Orchestra, I remember the name and the face... not the same picture but very similar...
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 You have a good memory. Besides having his first #1 with 'Delicado' in 1952, he also had 2 accredited Million Sellers with 'The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)' -Felicia Sanders vocal- in 1953 and " The Theme From A Summer Place' in 1960. Two Movie themes, which I know will interest Canam. And he was also born in Canada !
Dappled Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I didn't like much Pat Boone as a singer but he was my hero in that Jules Verne movie. In 1959 I was 11 so I didn't notice the girl!
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Arlene Dahl ! She posed "semi nude" (whatever that means - topless ?) for Playboy Magazine three years later. "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" was of course remade last year. I haven't seen the new one.
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 ANOTHER QUIZ PIC: WHO'S THIS ? He wrote and sang the original of a much covered 50s R&B/ Rock song.
Farin Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 whoa! talk about great minds think alike! I just started a game about that in F&G: Who is that? and I hadn't noticed your posts here before doing that, honestly!
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Very Good Martin ! I like the 'Great Minds' bit. But I have about as much of an idea of who your pic is as you probably do of mine ! I used to feature these Quizpics when I ran my Quiz, before you joined I think. I hope your thread goes really well. I'll drop in and see if I know any from time to time. Cheers Mate.
Dappled Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Looks like a very young Nat King Cole!
edna Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Looks like a very young Nat King Cole! I think you´re right, it´s NKC...
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Nice tries Lars and Elena, but he was more of a Rocker than Nat or JM. Not as full on as, say, Little Richard though. But who was ? To the best of my knowledge he's still alive - a few months older than me. Goodnight All.
_Laurie_ Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Little Willie John?...the one that sang "Fever"?...but I think he died a long time ago... My second guess would be Johnny Nash?
MindCrime Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I didn't like much Pat Boone as a singer but he was my hero in that Jules Verne movie. In 1959 I was 11 so I didn't notice the girl! Pat Boone was even worse in the 1990's as a Metal singer...
OLD 55 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Sorry ladies, not those three. I don't really know much about him except musically. I checked and he is still alive - he's only 68 for goodness sake. He had other minor hits (one more Top Ten), but the song he's best remembered for has been successfully covered by others, including The Beach Boys. But the original has bongos. Pat Boom Metal He must have been on hard times.
_Laurie_ Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Ahhh thanks for the hint! Hey 55, Do you wanna dance? Bobby Freeman
OLD 55 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Well done Laurie. Did the bongos do it
_Laurie_ Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Well not so much the bongos, but I remember the Beach Boys singing that song....
