Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Stills went in for Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills and Nash in 1997.
This is kind of a trick question. Do you consider CSN and CSNY as separate bands?

The R&R HOF obviously does. lol CSN is in ; CSNY aren't. I've always thought of them as two incarnations of the same band.

I consider them similar but different. CS&N is more of a folky band with Nash as the high harmony. CSN&Y is more of a guitar band with Young dominating the higher register along with his crashing guitar. YMMV.

Roy, I know you're a big Neil fan, did you prefer CSNY or the less Young, CSN ?

Eh, hard to say. Both groups occupy big chunks of play time and personal history for me. All 4 of those guys have spun off into different bands and different combos. I’m more of a CSNY fan but a big fan of CSN too. Kind of a non answer I guess.

I grew up in the 70's , so CSN was a big part of my life's soundtrack in my teens and young adult years. Plus, "Southern Cross" is my top ranked song of the '80's and one of my top five songs of all time, so I'm going CSN, but I loved 'em with Neil also. Just a great band. Incredible harmonies. Poignant music that stands the test of time.

I prefer the band with Y over them without Y. It gave them more of an edge.

189. Can you imagine having a secret crush on your neighbor for 24 years and then one day she moves away , leaving you devastated? Songwriter Mike Chapman revealed that his inspiration for the narrative of this song was the 1972 hit by Dr. Hook, "Sylvia's Mother." He wanted write something along the same lines. The song was initially recorded in '72 by an Australian pop group, without much success. It wasn't until a British band recorded the song that it made hay on the charts. It peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976 and went to #1 in Australia and #3 on the UK Singles chart.
While the original song is a melancholic ballad, the song is famously known today for a raucous and vulgar crowd chant that originated in the mid-1990's in Dutch pubs and clubs. The song represented the band's only hit on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the band's lead singer went on to record a duet with a lady who played a recurring role on the sitcom "Happy Days." That duet was a huge hit which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 around this time 47 years ago. It spent a total of 28 weeks on Billboard.
Can you name the song which was inspired by Dr. Hook's song "Sylvia's Mother" and the one-hit wonder band which took it to #25 in 1976? Also, can you name the song that the band's lead singer and a "Happy Days" actress took to # 4 on the Billboard chart in 1979?

190. WHO AM I ?
*** I'm the only Welsh artist to ever top the Billboard Hot 100. And no, I'm not Tom Jones. As my friend, Sir Tom, would say about me, "She's a lady... woah, woah, woah, she's a lady."
*** I was awarded the Grand Prix honor at the 1979 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo. I represented the UK. I beat out , among others, Cissy Houston (who represented the United States) for top honors.
*** I was the first singer to record and release the song "The Best ," a year before Tina Turner did. Tina's global hit was actually a cover of my version. Bet you didn't know this was originally my song, did you ?
*** In 1977, I had to have throat surgery and was mandated to remain silent for six weeks . One day, out of sheer frustration, I let out a scream. That scream did permanent damage to my vocal cords giving me my signature husky tone.
Can you identify me?

She needs a hero because she just had a total eclipse of the heart. Most people would just shake it off. But nooooo! Not Bonnie Tyler.

These were some very good questions, so I had to work around a bit to get the answers. First of all, I knew Suzi Quatro had made appearances on Happy Days. So, that meant she was probably one of the answers. Next, I googled Suzi to see if she had any Billboard #1 records as part of a duo. And, yes, yes she did. She had a song that went to the top with a Chris Norman (who I had never heard of before). It was 'Stumblin In'. Good song. Then, I googled Chris Norman and found out that he was part of a band called Smokie. Turns out that Smokie had a hit record entitled, "Living Next Door to Alice" And, so everything fell into place.

Do you recognize the young 15 year-old with Bonnie here? This was at the 1979 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo. The youngster asked Bonnie for her autograph backstage.

Billboard #25 ( 1976) :
Billboard #4 (1979) :
Suzi Quatro really paved the way for people like Joan Jett, Pat Benatar , Chrissy Hynde. All of these ladies were heavily influenced by Suzi. A real pioneer, Ms. Quatro.
Suzi as Leather Tuscadero on "Happy Days" :
