Mel Torme (I learned that from when he had a cameo on Seinfeld)

Godfather of Grunge

[Steel2Velvet]

Would that be Neil Young?

(correct me if I'm wrong)

The Godfather of Soul

[MindCrime]

That is correct, and I have no idea who the godfather of soul is, unless it's James Brown.

[Steel2Velvet]

Bingo!

Got another nickname?

[MindCrime]

Dr Winston O'Boogie

[cyberjudge]

John Lennon

Alexander Nevermind

[Otokichi]

So that's TAFKAP's nickname? (I wonder if MJ named one of his kids after that Prince?)

[MindCrime]

David Bowie

Man in Black

[Jenny]

Johnny Cash

Material Girl

[MindCrime]

The Georgia Peach

[MindCrime]

Our own Kari?

[bazooka]

No. No.

This ain't no lady.

The artist showed up previously in this thread, but under a different nickname.

[skybluesky]

No. No.

This ain't no lady.

Neither is Kari.

[Uncle Joe]

James Brown?

[bazooka]

Nope.

James Brown ain't from Georgia.

I figured Uncle Joe, being even an older fart than I am, would know this one for sure.

I really thought this legit nickname was pretty much common knowledge!

[MindCrime]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Little Richard (he fits the description perfectly well and even has an album named that)

if that is the correct answer...

Eggman

[bazooka]

Yes. Richard is The Georgia Peach (see the AKA in the sidebar here).

Seems to me, that nickname was used frequently back in the day, but maybe not as common as I thought.

The Eggman is Eric Burdon.
