miamisammy29 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thank you, sir. Okay, this one was taken straight from Random Artistfacts.... The 1960's for $800... This band appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show more times than any other band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 After some extensive research, I've come up with "Second Winter" by Johnny Winter, from 1969. Is this correct? I had that album in the early seventies... And, yes, he does have a famous brother. I believe it's Jonathan Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I remember seeing that on TV a few weeks ago ------------------------------ Heavy Metal influences for $412.39 (tax included) He wanted to write the "loudest, nastiest, sweatiest rock number we could" after reading a Pete Townshend interview describing a Who track (possibly "I Can See For Miles") as "The most raucous rock 'n' roll, the dirtiest thing they'd ever done." This was the result. (I need songwriter and song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 What´s "Helter Skelter"? Who´s Paul McCartney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Very good edna! Of all people I knew you should know that! Your turn, my dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 He´s been saying that for years. Every time I read something about "Helter Skelter", McCartney is saying the same... It´s the only song in the history of the Billboard charts to hit number one three times (first time in 1970, second time in 1981 by "Stars On 45"; third time in 1986 by Bananarama).

Farin Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have a hard one and an easy one, but since the hard one is really hard, I'll go with this: He holds the record for the oldest male to have a #1 Hit Song, both in the US and the UK - but with different songs. (artist is obligatory, but it would be nice to have both songs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Who is Rod Stewart? I think he had a #1 in the U.K. when he was 96, and then another in the U.S. when he was 104. But they were both so long ago, I can't remember the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 that's a very good guess, both songs were #1s, but he was 'only' 51 and 52 respectively... not old enough keep the guesses coming, or ask for some hints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
