OLD 55 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sorry Mate. Not that. Locomotion was also a #1 Hit for Grand Funk Railroad, but I don't think Cathy's Clown was a POP Hit for Reba McEntyre?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 A. Is it something to do with them being some of the first Warner Brothers singles? I wish I had more time to play, but I have so much to do in prep for the trip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 A. Is it something to do with them being some of the first Warner Brothers singles? I'm going to declare this one and give earth-angel 3 Points. Your answer is VERY close ! GREAT EFFORT The answer is they were each the VERY FIRST SINGLE RELEASED on their respective labels: Warner Brothers 1960 (Cathy's Clown) and Dimension Records 1962 (Locomotion). I'm also allocating 2 points to Laurie, VERY close too in her answer, because Cathy's Clown was a Big UK #1, but Locomotion stalled at #2. 1 Participation point each to Uncle and Kevin.
