OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I GOT INTO THE SITE No one's got it yet, so let's rephrase the question to give you a couple more clues. QUESTION: A well known U.S. movie actor/director remembered a song that had been recorded (with no Chart success) some 3 years previously. He telephoned the singer for permission to use it in his movie, which she gave. The song became a huge hit after it's inclusion in the movie. WHAT was the song and WHO sang it ?

edna Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yes, Unky... and I think you are more than right... Dr. John had an accident with his hand and performed in "The last waltz", by Scorsese... only I don´t remember what was the song... I just checked my files... the song is "Such a night". And I saw he also played with Clapton and Jagger... I think you are the winner, Commendatore! Bazooka??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 What's that Barbra Streisand movie? A Star is Born. The Way We Were That's my final answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Good try jr, but the Director wasn't a famous actor. A beautiful song though, which is more in keeping with the correct one. A bit earlier than 1976 too. C'mon, keep trying. You've got the 2 points so far. Hang on - the song from "A Star Is Born" is "Evergreen". "The Way We Were" was from the 1974 movie of the same name, also not directed by an Actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 That's a good one too, but... I see it was directed by Berry Gordy. There's a good question. What do the founder of Motown records and jrownsdega have in common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Was the movie a hit? YES HD. A very suspenseful movie also. (I'm going to lunch now. Back in about an hour to see who's solved it !). :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
