ValerieB Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Lou Rawls? Edited to add back-up guess: Al Jarreau. But I think it's Lou. Damn, i can't think of Johnny's last name! i know he passed away years ago. Nope, nope and nope! I had a hunch someone might say Lou Rawls! Valerie, let us know who the Johnny is you are thinking of! It isn't him either, but now I'm curious. All the hints I can think of would make it obvious, so I'll wait a bit before giving a clue. i thought it was Johnny Nash. Quote
JSngry Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Some Christmas music to beat the heat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwSZMtos8Qc Quote
GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 LOL! That's my favorite Christmas rock song! The copy I have goes all the way to the end of the recording, which stops abruptly with the ringing of an alarm clock! Anyway, that is correct, Jim! It's Hank Ballard! Quote
GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 This is a hard one for most of us. Quote
Stereojack Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 This is a hard one for most of us. Lavern Baker. (I knew Ballard, but didn't get up in time) Quote
paul secor Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Recognized Hank and LaVern but, like Jack, I was a late riser today. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Correct, Jack and Paul! It's Lavern Baker. That photo has been used on some CDs, so I figured that Jack would have come across it and would recognize it. Quote
Stereojack Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Correct, Jack and Paul! It's Lavern Baker. That photo has been used on some CDs, so I figured that Jack would have come across it and would recognize it. Either that, or I'm just an old geezer! Quote
JSngry Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Somebody who's about to have a good meal? Quote
GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 The hair says Larry Coryell! Correct, Jim! I was sorry that I couldn't find a good picture without a guitar, as that might have made it a little harder. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 While we're waiting for a hint from Bill, here's another one: Quote
Leeway Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Try this! Larry looks a bit like the captain on Sea Shepherd in "Whale Wars." Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 And you're right! So who's this? One of my favorite pickers. Quote
JSngry Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 While we're waiting for a hint from Bill, here's another one: Big Head Clyde McPhatter! Quote
GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 While we're waiting for a hint from Bill, here's another one: Big Head Clyde McPhatter! Correct, Jim! I saw him perform at the Kennedy Center in DC very shortly before he died. He was great, the best of the oldies show, which included Little Richard and Cornell Gunter & the Coasters. Quote
Noj Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I love McPhatter's "the Mixed Up Cup." Edited August 12, 2011 by Noj Quote
Bill Nelson Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 And you're right! So who's this? One of my favorite pickers. Eugene Chadbourne? One night in '83 he played his eletric garden rake for the seven of us in Athens' 40 Watt Club. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 The young guys won't likely guess this one. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Hint: I saw her in Las Vegas in August of 1973. The warm-up act was Joan Rivers! The next night we saw Elvis. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Petulia Clark Correct, Valerie! Petula Clark. I have her greatest hits cd, and enjoy it very much, except for Downtown, which I got tired of before 1964 was over. Quote
