OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 We don't get negative points for wrong answers, do we? No!!! :: You DO get a participation point for attempting a Question (so you're currently on 6 Points) and you can attempt it as many times as you want - but please limit it to 2 per post or I might miss it. Q1 is a real "smartass" question. Read it carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 :coolio:WELL DONE SHAWNA! PEPSI AND SHIRLEY IT WAS. Surely (Shirley) and Not Coke (Pepsi). I thought HD knew it, because they are best known as WHAM's Backup Singers. They had 2 Top Ten Hits in the U.K. in 1987, but were only moderately successful in the U.S. So that makes you a clear leader with 5 Points for each of those 2 Questions, 2 Points each to HD and bluesboy for an Honorable Mention in each Question, plus Participation Points. That makes the standings: Shawna 10 bluesboy, Brad, HD 2 Laurie, UncleJoe 1 Back with a NEW Question soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 WHO'S THE GROUP? I won't say too much about them, but they are regarded as legendary. (No clues in there, by the way). I find this story intriguing. The lead singer, his/her Spouse and Manager all survived shooting attempts (same incident), but after the Group disbanded, 3 previous members all died from gunshot wounds in separate incidents.

_Laurie_ Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 sounds familiar 55...would that be Badfinger? but i think they had someone who hung themselves though...i think...oh well I really am headed to bed now..nite :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Good try Laurie. Two of their members committed suicide by hanging, Pete Ham and Tom Evans (they co-wrote the beautiful Nilsson song "Without You"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Could it be The Wailers? I know Carlton Barnett died in a shooting and I remember there was something like this with somebody´s wife. peter Tosh died that way too though he wasn´t a Wailer... :: Junior Braithwaite was shot too... he was one of the founder of The Wailers... Wait, Peter Tosh WAS a Wailer... must be The Wailers then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Could it be The Wailers? WELL DONE EDNA! GREAT ANSWER. Bob Marley, his Wife and Manager survived an assassination attempt in Jamaica in 1976, but three others all died later in separate shooting incidents - Tosh and Barrett in 1987 and Braithwaite in 1999. That makes the POINTS: Shawna 10 Edna 5 bluesboy, Brad, HD, Laurie 2 UncleJoe 1 .......................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
