edna Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Paul McCartney? :: The Flying Pickets? I´ll have to check the hit parade... Colin Hay? Some Robert Smith song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Sorry Edna. He's VERY well known - not one of the Beatles though - a SOLO artist. He used these backup singers to good effect on his HUGE Album of the first half of the 80s. Here's another Question also. QUESTION 2. WHO'S THE 70s TRIO? The drummer is missing from the pic - I didn't cut him out because he's ultra well known; in fact the caption on the pic was "where's the drummer?". Good Luck All. :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Emerson, Lake and Palmer. But I wonder who Q1 is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Could it be Mick Jagger? Or Prince? Maybe Bryan Ferry... George Michael... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Emerson, Lake and Palmer. WELL DONE EDNA!!! CONGRATULATIONS. Keith Emerson and Greg Lake, but no Carl Palmer. ANOTHER 5 POINTS TO YOU, which I'll adjust tomorrow. No joy with Q1 yet. :: HERE'S A NEW QUESTION 2: This guitarist, harmonica player, singer, songwriter, sessionman of the late 60s to late 70s fronted a couple of Bands before going solo, but he's probably best known for his work on a Very well known Album by an "alternate" or maybe just "strange" performer early in the 70s. WHO is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Question 1 - Billy Joel, "For The Longest Time" :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 only one I can think of is Freddy Mercury ~ "Another One Bites The Dust", but he wasn't solo... and I don't even know if that song was from the 80s or the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Q1 - Kissing a Fool - George Michael It's a shot in the dark, but I remember that song having minimal instruments. I also think it was late 80s. I just talked myself out of my own answer. But I'll take a point for it. I need to get in the game anyway I can. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I agree with Sammy on #1....Billy Joel, For The Longest Time. And, the back-up singers on that particular song were all Billy Joel. The album in question was An Innocent Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Question 1 - Billy Joel, "The Longest Time". Question 2 - Lowell George. (Lead singer of Little Feat and one time member of the Mothers Of Invention. He contributed largely to Frank Zappa's "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" album). :coolio:DOUBLE WHAMMY TO SAMMY! WELL DONE!!! 10 Big Points to you. Thanks to All who had a go also. P.S. I'm not sure Joe. What about all those guys in the film clip? Maybe they're just miming. I'd be interested in any more info you have on the "Innocent Man" Album from which it came. I'll fix up the points and put on new questions later. Sorry I don't have time now - I'm just on my way out, but I couldn't resist having a look to see if the Questions had been answered.

OLD 55 Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 NEW QUESTION 1. You know I HATE doing quotes because the best Googlers can usually find them, but this one's too good to pass up. "I want to entertain people. That's my whole life - until my last breath".
