bazooka Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 simon and garfunkle, mama's and papa's, booker t and the mg's, all performed at a certain place in the 60's....among many others Wow. It's Monterey Pop. Simon & Garfunkel and Booker T & The MGs weren't shown in D.A. Pennebaker's original 79-minute film. I hadn't realized how totally amazing the complete line-up of acts for that three-day festival was.
_Laurie_ Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 ...that's right bazooka, and yes that must of been one hell of a festival, lots a great music at that one...
bazooka Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 some songs: [*] Limbo Rock (1962) [*] Black Pearl "precious little girl, let me put you up where you belong" (1969) [*] Layla (1970) It doesn't have to do with the lyrics, the production, or chart positions. Think outside the box.
windy1 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 All Have to do with women who left thier men unhappy.
bazooka Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 All Have to do with women who left thier men unhappy. Huh? Limbo Rock was a party craze dance song, from the same man who acquainted America with The Twist. " Jack be limbo, Jack be quick Jack go unda limbo stick All around the limbo clock Hey, let's do the limbo rock Don't move that limbo bar You'll be a limbo star How low can you go? " There are other songs titled Black Pearl (by Bryan Adams, Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society), but this one, the group's only noteable hit was produced by Phil Spector, and has a kind of "black pride" message. " You been working so hard your whole life through Tendin' other people's houses Raisin' up their children too Hey how about something for me and you Here in my arms you're gonna reign supreme No more servin' baby They're gonna serve my queen ... My world is built around The very smile that's on your face You'll never win a beauty show No they won't pick you But you're my miss America " Remember: the lyrics, producer, and chart status don't matter. In fact, even the names of these particular songs aren't the key to the Common Link.
bazooka Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 [*] Limbo Rock (1962) [*] Black Pearl "precious little girl, let me put you up where you belong" (1969) [*] Layla (1970) hint: The Singer(s) Not The Song(s)
_Laurie_ Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 artist who wrote and covered their own songs? oh wait you said not the songs...ok, gonna have to think some more on this.....
_Laurie_ Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 did these singers all appear on a show, or maybe all on a certain album together?
bazooka Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Limbo Rock : from the same man who acquainted America with The Twist. Black Pearl : the group's only notable hit Layla: Are you sure of the artist(s)? Fun & _ _ _ _ _
_Laurie_ Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 OH GAMES?.... sonny charles and the CHECKMATES(CHESS) derrick and the DOMINOES Chubby CHECKERS.....right?
bazooka Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Yes! Game-related artists' names. Chubby Checker. His stage name was really a play on "Fats Domino" (I might have included Fats but chose "Derek and" instead). (Sonny Charles &) The Checkmates Ltd. I have to admit they are a little obsure (I remembered the group name, but I had to Google up the song). Derek and the Dominos. When it comes to Layla, people think of Eric Clapton and forget the rest of the band. New game. Lay a link on us, Laurie.
