Dan Gould Posted March 9, 2004 Report 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
jazzbo Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 This guy did pretty well in the seventies. . . . Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report 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
Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2004 Report 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
catesta Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Johnny Nash. I think we have a winner. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted March 9, 2004 Report 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
JSngry Posted March 9, 2004 Report 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
Harold_Z Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 KNOCK KNOCK "WHO'S THERE" "ARGO" "ARGO WHO" "ARGO FUCK YOURSELF" Quote
Harold_Z Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Just adding a little levity to the proceedings. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report 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
