Posted April 24, 200421 yr Ok folks, name this singer Who ever guesses right - the game passes over to them. (Keep any image posted up to under 20K.)
April 24, 200421 yr If it is who i am thinking of Kolla, then she doesn't look as good nowadays, give us a little clue please. H
April 24, 200421 yr LOL - she defiantely doesn't look 'as' good these days but she's definatley alive and kicking. Clue: She was born in the mid 1930, her mum was afro-american and her father was from the Philipines.
April 24, 200421 yr Hehe - well that was a short game! Yep, born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton, she recorded under the nickname that Johnny Otis gave her in the late '50s - 'Sugar Pie' DeSanto. Ok - 'guest's' turn now! [Mr Rimmer - was it you that forgot to sign in ? just a wild guess ] Bit of trivia on SugarPie - she wrote the beautiful track "My Illusion" and recorded it on Soul Clock. It was later covered by label-mates The Whispers ... but i still prefer her version
April 24, 200421 yr She recorded for a very well known label Chess but what was the name of the label before it changed??????
April 24, 200421 yr Haydn - was that who you were thinking off before ? Chess was previously called the Aristocrat Recording Corporation i think. Doesn't really fit well on a label, does it.
April 24, 200421 yr Yes thats it Kolla, I was torn between Eartha Kitt and for some strange reason Barbara Randolph came into my head. Leonard & Phil owned Aristocrat label and changed it to Chess in 1949, now that is a long time ago but it sure gives the label the edge on the RnB circuit( we don't want to go there again eh?) Haydn
April 25, 200421 yr Hehe - well that was a short game! Yep, born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton, she recorded under the nickname that Johnny Otis gave her in the late '50s - 'Sugar Pie' DeSanto. Ok - 'guest's' turn now! [Mr Rimmer - was it you that forgot to sign in ? just a wild guess ] Er, yes it was me that forgot to log in. You lasted 24 minutes :-) I'll have a look round for a suitably obscure photo to post up
April 25, 200421 yr As if you couldn't guess, but that was me. Auto log in seems to have stopped working this weekend.
April 25, 200421 yr Is it Wade Flemmons? Tooley Just got in from walk along sunny Scarborough seafront :o)
April 25, 200421 yr Well done. Perfectly correct. The clues: No 1 - Earth Wind & Fire. No. 2 - Jeanette, and if nobody had got it, No 3 was going to be: Somewhere Else - That Other Place. Your turn
April 25, 200421 yr Is it Bettye Swann ? Nope. Think about a predatory East coast fish................
April 25, 200421 yr Denise Laselle (LaSOLE), lol Nope again. Next clue: One of her labels had plenty of stars cheers.
April 25, 200421 yr Next clue: One of her labels had plenty of stars cheers. The label could be Constellation, so I'd guess at Holly Maxwell.
April 25, 200421 yr Wand/Sceptor??? You need to be looking a bit higher than that to see these stars, Haydn. :o)
April 25, 200421 yr The label could be Constellation, so I'd guess at Holly Maxwell. Spot on Dave, One time stand in for Tina Turner. The "not much money" clue referred to One Thin Dime Cheers, Tooley
April 25, 200421 yr I'll have to find another now. Here we go No sleep since Friday night, brain not functioning properly but I'll have a guess at the Valentinos. If not giz a clue ;-)
April 25, 200421 yr Final brain rack before bedtime. Tangeers? Pretty sure that's not how the country's spelt though. I'll get me pyjamas. Tooley
April 25, 200421 yr I'll have to find another now. Here we go Is it the Humprey Lyttleton Band, without Humprey? More clues please as I'm think, but have a few photos to quizz you with.
April 26, 200421 yr The Contours? Janine x Well done Janine. Your turn. I'll have a guess now....Joanie Summers :-)
April 26, 200421 yr Snot fair, was just on her web site looking for a photo ;-) Right, give me a few mins to sort a piccy out for you all Janine x
April 26, 200421 yr LOL, I really want to say yes and let you win Kolla ;-))) First clue - from Detroit
Ok folks, name this singer
