I couldn't fit the whole theme in the subject line so I figure we'll keep it here in the body. Nice topic, Papa! :) :1013:

13 songs sung by a group known for instrumental tunes, or instrumental songs by singers.

1. Melody For an Unknown Girl - Paul Revere and the Raiders
2. Surf Rider - The Lively Ones (instrumental surf band)

13 instrumentals by singers / sung by instrumentalists

Post by PapaMouse »

1. Melody For an Unknown Girl - Paul Revere and the Raiders
2. Surf Rider - The Lively Ones (instrumental surf band)
3. The Horse - Cliff Nobles & Co.



"The Horse" was actually an instrumental version of "Love Is All Right", the intended A-Side of the record. Cliff Nobles was the singer in the band, and didn't actually perform on their only real hit.

Not only is this an instrumental by a singing group, but also a rock band playing jazz. (Duke Ellington, no less!)
