Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 OK boys and girls, heres another question......name the singer who has recorded country, northern soul, and reggae? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Dolly Parton? This is a genuine answer as I vaguely recollect her doing some reggae stuff in the late 90's early 2000's as for the Northern I don't know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Dolly Partons greatest hits...or is that Dolly Partons greates tits? No, wrong answer mate, a clue though....shes the wrong sex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Narrows it down a bit then. Kenny Rodgers What gendre do we normally associate him with??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 You need to think outside the country only box, afaik, KR has never done northern, or reggae. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I believe he was from Texas............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Not from Texas but was it Jackie Wilson? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I remember a couple of years ago a a famous old singer doing something about " A Raggamuffin stylie" is it him? (I can't for the life of me remember his name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RChappo 1 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I remember a couple of years ago a a famous old singer doing something about " A Raggamuffin stylie" is it him? (I can't for the life of me remember his name. Willie Nelson did some reggae-ish stuff as well as country. But I doubt that he did any Northern Soul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 The fellow I'm thinking of was black, some one like Edwin Starr (It wasn't him though) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 The fellow I'm thinking of was black, some one like Edwin Starr (It wasn't him though) Starting (at last) to head in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Another clue........His middle name, which he didnt use, is the same as a fairly local area, albeit spelt differently. Get that and your cooking with gas, theres a big clue in that last remark too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ha ha! Nice one....but wrong.....bit more of a clue, its a city that we're talking about, sounds the same as his name, but spelt differently.Dont forget it didnt appear in his stage name. Is that any clearer? Another hidden clue there too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another hidden clue there too! Lester-Leicester? Not much help though if he didn't use the middle name! I'm thinking that the reggae part of this one might be the key. There can't be too many singers from Texas that have sung in that idiom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Waylon Jennings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Waylon Jennings? Hes a good ole boy.but no, our singer is black, that should narrow the search down.....except I reckon I know where that will take most people..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 By the way ,Craig, , Just messed around and Waylon Jennings middle name is Arnold.I went for the Jennings and Derbyshire thing regarding the Butler thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Sorry to change the subject slightly Craig ,but have you seen the video for the number one on the download chart, Mercy by Duffy, Full of northern dance moves Pharoe spins ,back flips,swallow dives etc (brought back some memories I can tell you I wouldn't say it's a 'northern' track though, she sounds like Amy Winehouse singing that 'Funky Green Dogs' track from 96 "Fired Up" I have tried to link it to you tube (It is on there ) but there is no URL on the video at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Got it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE2orthS3TQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
