This was a remake of Ian and Sylvia's song. It hit #1 for We Five on two out of three US charts. They were nominated for a Grammy as Best New Artist of the Year for 1965, but lost to some British group called The Beatles. :roll: We Five were saved from being One Hit Wonders by their #31 hit "Le...

Hiya, jody :5086: . :wave: :1013: Sharp Dressed Man is my favorite video from these guys. I like their beards and trenchcoats, but their twirling of the guitars is what caught my eye. I wonder if they've ever shaved their beards. Hi Papa. :1026: :wave: I think it's funny that the only one (in ZZ Top...

The title came from the credits for a movie. (They don't remember which movie it was, though.) And then the lyrics and tune came after that. "And every girl crazy 'bout a Sharp Dressed Man." I wonder if the actor who played the "sharp-dressed man" even has any idea what his credi...

Aw shucks, ma'am.

Tommy and Jimmy. Kewl!

Also recorded by The Al Hirt Band, this tune is recognizable to my generation as Country Joe and the Fish's "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag". (And it's 1 2 3 What are we fightin' for?...) I've always like "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. It's pretty, and I can understand why it's h...

I would dearly love to check out what you have based on what you've put here. Your collection sounds like one I'd put black on and burgle your house. :) Have a good weekend. :7313: :wave: You'd have to put on kitty ears, too, and be a cat burglar. :wink: (Would that make you Catwoman? :roll: ) :wav...

Often ridiculed, Mr Goldsboro was a singer I always liked. (It was hard for me to listen to his song "Honey" during the last 4 months of 2005, though.)

When I was about 10, my sister's high school mixed chorus performed it (at Christmastime, of course). They wanted to get a boy soprano to play Amahl, and my sister tried to convince me to audition for the part, but I was too scared. I've often wished that I had at least tried it. Oh well, that was a...

All of these composers relied on being published and were often promoted by another known composer or conductor in the business. Maybe that's why Jeremiah Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March" was until very recently (like within the past couple of decades) always attributed to Henry Purce...

...was the Derek and the Dominoes Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album. I've always loved that version of "Layla", so when I heard the Unplugged version, it just blew me away. How could the same song, played by the same artist, sound sooo different? The last time I heard anything that...

Written, and originally recorded by Billie Holliday. Also covered by Tori Amos (who only sang it in concerts), Brook Benton, Barbra Streisand, and many others.

Steve Winwood after The Spencer Davis Group, and before his solo work.

...Is it "Give My Regards To Broadway"?
