OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) jr I first used it, and other material, in questions I used to ask in Random Music Thoughts before you suggested starting a separate thread for the Quiz. I didn't coin the phrase "Common Links" though. Let me add that it doesn't bother me. The more threads that get people participating the better ! I just noticed KISSing Fish. Can I have an ELVer (young eel) ? Edited September 20, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 He had a big hit in the early 70's...one of my favorite songs also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi Laurie. I don't think I'm allowed to guess Although I think Iknow, I know, I know, I know etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 go for it 55!....i never knew what he looked like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I think it's Bill Withers, and the song you like would be "Lean On Me" ? - although I was quoting from "Aint No Sunshine" where he sings "I know" lots of times (I'd have to count them).

OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Thanks Brad. C,mon, let's nail it together ! What's some other early 70s Hits and Artists? Sorry you're not well Laurie. I really thought I had it with Bill Withers. Not Edwin Starr minus his moustache? or Al Green put on some weight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 He had a big hit in the early 70's...one of my favorite songs also... Laurie, is it Johnny Nash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Not sure Brad. Could be him older and fatter I suppose. I'm about 50 or 60 pounds heavier than I was in the 70s. Here's another pic of Johnny Nash taken (I think) late 70s/early 80s. I don't suppose it's Charley Pride gotten older ? If he just had his mouth open we could look for a gap between his front teeth ! Something about this guy's (in the question)eyes that looks familiar, but I can't place it. From the way Laurie worded the question it sounds like he's a solo singer and not a group member, do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yes, it does 55. I know who it is now. It's Dobie Gray. Remember "Drift Away?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Brad takes it with Dobie Gray! I had to share this album cover. It's kind of an 'eyeworm', I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Good on you Mate. No way I'd have gotten that. "Drift Away" is a great song, Laurie. I didn't even know Dobie Gray was black , and I think of him as more of a 60s Artist ("The 'In' Crowd", as bazooka illustrated - although I like the Ramsey Lewis Trio version better).

Uncle Joe Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dobie Gray had many other great songs though not highly charted. An example is Fool For You. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us look forward to your answers as well as your questions! NO!!! I never in a million, gazillion years meant for anyone to infer that I didn't want my precious Old Fitty to answer. I love him with all my heart and he knows that I want him to be with us as much as possible. I was just commenting on the confusion of all these threads...you know, up is down, left is right.

Thanks for the clarification, Peaches. Thumb flipping back up again. Sometimes things sound different to others than what the speaker intended. Sorry. I'm living proof of that.

Brad_M Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ok, thanks, Laurie. Here's a new question: In the 80's, an artist recorded a cover of a hit song but it didn't even crack the U.S. Hot 100 chart. Six years later, a live version of this song by the same artist hit #1 on the U.S. charts surpassing the chart position held by the original artist/group. Who is the artist and what was the name of the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It earns you an honorable mention. George Michaels live version duet of that song with Elton John did hit #1 and surpassed the original version on the U.S. chart by Elton but that live version was released in the early 90's. Think 80's. Oopsy, my fault. I should have mentioned that the version released 6 years earlier and the live version both were in the 80's span. Sorry for the confusion.
