Dan Gould Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Who recorded for Argo Records in the 60s and went on to have a number one pop smash in the 70s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 This guy did pretty well in the seventies. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yes, but I don't think he had a number one hit single, and his albums were on Cadet, not Argo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Chuck Mangione?? No idea if he had anything on Argo, but his was the first name that came to mind when I read the first post in this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 How 'bout all purpose Chess (and Argo & Cadet) session dude and future E, W&F leader Maurice White? (alt. answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 How 'bout all purpose Chess (and Argo & Cadet) session dude and future E, W&F leader Maurice White? (alt. answer) Well, if you want to reverse the sideman-to-leader progression, you could probably find a way to fit Mike Mainieri in there somewhere. And the tempting answer is Ramsey Lewis, although I don't remember "Sun Goddess" being a #1 pop hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDK Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Is it "Talk Like a Pirate Day" already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yes, we do have an answer, Johnny Nash, Composer's Choice Argo 4038 and the '72 smash, "I Can See Clearly Now" I brought it up because when I saw the LP on ebay and the named suddenly clicked, it made me wonder what kind of LP he made. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
