miamisammy29 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Ahhh...so you've played my games on that "OTHER" site, ayy?? I didn't want to bring those up, so as not to detour members from "THIS" site. I love the "OTHER" site, too. In fact, that's how I found "THIS" site. Research, man!
miamisammy29 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 NEW QUESTION: Which U.S. singer had a concert in Paris cancelled when the promoter found out just how young he/she was??? Ritchie Valens?
OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Posted January 29, 2005 Brenda Lee? WELL DONE UNCLE :)5 points to you and 1 each to jr and sammy. I'm getting pasted here, aren't I? I thought that would be a toughie ! Yes, Little Miss Dynamite it was, in 1959 when she was only 14.
miamisammy29 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I had a feeling Brenda Lee was right. Way to go, Uncs. I just answered with some young kid, once again for the free point. NEW ONE! NEW ONE! NEW ONE!
OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Posted January 29, 2005 NEW ONE! NEW ONE! NEW ONE! My Wife just said to me "are you going to sit at that computer all day ? I told her ALL the questions just keep on getting answered ! She says I have to think up a REALLY tough one now because we have to go out soon ! HMMMM ? ::
OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Posted January 29, 2005 Uncle, how'd you come up with Brenda so quickly? Great answer. I wouldn't have let my daughters go to Paris when they were 14 either. O.K. let's see how this one goes. NEW QUESTION: A well known U.S. movie director remembered a song that had been recorded (with little or no Chart success) some 3 years previously. He/she telephoned the singer - would have thought it would be the writer -for permission to use it in his/her movie, which was given. The song became a huge hit after it's inclusion in the movie. WHAT was the song and WHO sang it ?
Uncle Joe Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Que Sera, Sera? Brenda Lee popped into my head immediately after reading your question. I remembered her debut at 12 and the Paris thing made sense. You see, I'm Old58.
OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Posted January 29, 2005 Was Hitchcock the director? Thinking "Que Sera Sera" ? No. A bit later than that. Twilight Zone Music! I read your mind. Scary or incisive? OR maybe you're reading mine ?

Kevin Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 "Jive Talkin'"-- BeeGees; written a few years earlier then picked up along with others by Robert Stigwood for "Saturday Night Fever".
edna Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I´d say Kevin is right, only "Jive talking" was #1 in 1975... Maybe it´s Joe Cocker and "You can leave your hat on" for "9&1/2 weeks"? BTW, I go to sleep and as I get up, I see four questions already answered... I´m gonna have to go to sleep later!!! Congrats Uncle, Gis, Elvish, sammy and Jr!!!
SoulGirl Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 except SoulGirl is now on top (Figuratively speaking). ooh i do enjoy being on top!
miamisammy29 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Old 55, "I Will Always Love You"? I mean that's my answer to the current question, so don't get any ideas, Dude.
OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 At Last! I've been trying on and off to get into the site all day. This question is just too general isn't it? I thought I'd put on a tougher one because - as Edna said - they just kept going off yesterday. Let's narrow it down a little - it was in the 1970s , and a Love Song . PS. you're just attracted to my avatar Sammy.
edna Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Everybody´s talking? Raindrps keep falling on my hair? No, not love songs... I´ll try to think and post if his Highness the Server lets me get into songfacts today...
OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Edna! I'm glad it's not just MY computer. Yes, we'll have to email Carl - it's been happening a lot lately, but today has certainly been the worst. Couple of great songs you just mentioned, but the answer is a really beautiful Love Song (well I think so). NO CLUE IN MY HIGHLIGHTING THE WORD "REALLY". I JUST LIKE THE SONG.
OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 ooh i do enjoy being on top! That was "figuratively speaking". I'll be interested in jr's position on this ! ::
DiggsUK Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I don't expect he'll just lie back and take it. Regards
edna Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah, you can see by the lack of posts from the 1/29 the server was democratically bleeping up everybody... The raindrops keep falling on my "head",not "hair"... sorry. I I´m thinking about it... love song from 70´s... "Ghost" and "Unchained melody" was from the 80s... and besides, the song was famous... gnnnn
OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 I don't expect he'll just lie back and take it.
OLD 55 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 The raindrops keep falling on my "head",not "hair"... sorry. I I´m thinking about it... love song from 70´s... Edna, please stop confusing me ! "Raindrops Keep Falling From My Head' wasn't in the movie "Hair".
