OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 He may be if Old is comparing himself to the age of a corpse .... None today thanks Igor. I don't do Weird Science any more. Hi Katie! He's much older (about 5 months) than me. He started performing at age 14 and had that BIG Hit just before his 18th Birthday. There's been quite a few covers of it which have charted. CLUE: His version featured bongo drums prominently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 It's a toughie alright, but I'll bet Uncle will get it. He probably has the 45 r.p.m. record. I like laurie's answer the best so far...day-o, daaaay'o; daylight come an me wan go hoome....(bongos). CURRENT QUESTION 1. This young man (now older than me!) had a major Hit in the late 50s with a song that's been covered by many others. Who the heck is he??? NEW QUESTION 2. Which member of a very famous duo hit in the 70s with his/her version of a very well known doo wop hit of the late 50s? (The song's even older than that. I remember Doris Day doing a version of it when I was just a kid). Goodnight and Good Luck All. :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, I've been trying on and off all day to get into these damn Message Boards. :: At a quick glance it looks like both Questions have been answered. Back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 No Edna. That's fine. All info is welcome, but that is a flattering pic of him, would you believe. 1. Bobby Freeman..."Do You Wanna/Want To Dance" (covered by Cliff Richard in the U.K., Beach Boys, Bette Midler, Del Shannon, Mamas And The Papas, The Ramones - and they're just the CHARTED U.S. versions). 2. Art Garfunkel...I only Have Eyes For You (The Flamingos big doo wop Hit, as pointed out by Laurie - 2 Points to her for an Honorable Mention). :coolio:CONGRATULATIONS X 2 JOE!!! WELL DONE! The EXPERIENCED (NOT Old) FOX sweeps to the lead! :: UncleJoe 11 Shawna 10 Edna 6 Laurie 5 Brad 3 bluesboy, HD, Sammy 2 Kevin 1 ........................................................... NEW QUESTION (QUESTION 1). I heard this Top 20 song from the first half of the 80s on the radio this morning. It's an almost "a capella version" -I understand the only instrumentation is a bass - don't know if it was stand up or guitar. The singer was VERY popular in the 80s, one of my favorites, although I don't mention him very often. On the Album this song was taken from, he had great backup vocalists on most of the tracks. Who is he and what's the song??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
