Did anyone in the history of the world ever look less like a rock singer than Christopher Cross? He looked like that overweight kid that bagged groceries at the Piggly Wiggly when I was in high school.
Nicolette Larson sang with Neil Young on Young's album Comes a Time. Loved that record.

She was an ideal backup singer for Neil, imo. It worked perfectly.Quote:

I did not know that about her. Good info!
I always liked the song by Nicolette Larson - "Lotta Love".

How many yachts do they have anchored in Corbin, Kentuck?Quote:

Sidebar: back in the day, Roy fell head over heels in love with a woman when this album came out. It became “our” album and in particular our song. I mean, I wanted to marry her, have babies with her, and spend the rest of my life with her. We humped like bunnies day and night and everywhere and every place. Angels sang and doves flew. One little problem was… she was married. Haha hoho.
Little did I know that divorcing women weren’t the most stable entity is the world. 6 months later she was divorced and running off to California with some Air Force captain and Roy was left wrecked on the rocks of despair.
You really really love music!Quote:

40. Speaking of bunnies, this former Playboy bunny had a #1 hit song. In fact, she had FOUR of them.. Can you name this female rock icon that had four Billboard Hot 100 #1 songs and can you name those #1 songs?
41. This song , written by Lolly Vegas, was originally released as a promotional track under the name "Hail." The song's prominent lyric, however, eventually became the song's official title, because it was considered more catchy and commercial-friendly. The song's title reportedly originated from the mouth of a hooker on Hollywood Boulevard, who called out to the band with the phrase that eventually became the song's title.
The song rose all the way to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the first time a Native American band had reached the Top 5 in the Billboard chart. The band was pretty groundbreaking in that they were one of the first mainstream Native American rock bands to perform in Native dress. The song spent 18 weeks in the top 40 in 1974 and was the fourth most popular song of that year.
Name the song and the band who took it to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974 . Also name the hooker( just kidding on that one ... lol) .
42. On New Years Eve, 1977, this band's co-founders were invited to Studio 54 in NYC by Grace Jones but were turned away by a rude doorman(something the club was notorious for doing) . The bandmates shouted "F*** Off!" at the doorman and went home and wrote a song about the experience.
The original chorus was "Ahhhh, F**** Off!" Obviously, they realized that would not get them any radio play, so they changed the curse word to something more friendly to radio , but kept the rest. A club snub at the door of the famous Studio 54 thus became the inspiration for an iconic dance anthem .
The hit was the very first song ever to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on three separate occasions. It was #1 in both 1978 AND 1979, spending a total six non-consecutive weeks at the top spot. The record sold over 7,000, 000 copies worldwide, and is certified 5X platinum by the RIAA.
Can you name the song and the band who took it to top of the charts on the Billboard Hot 100 on three different occasions?
No Idea about the hooker, but that's got to be Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love."Quote:

Didn't know the story, but judging from the time frame F**** Off became Freak Out pretty easily. La Chick?Quote:
