Oh yeah! OH YEAH! Well then, here's another easy one :p

Who, or what is "Crazy Diamond" in the Pink Floyd song of the same name?

[coastie65]

easy ? EASY ? I didn't follow Pink Floyd all that closely. After mulling this over, I seem to recall them losing a Bandmate for some unremembered reason, I believe it was Syd Barrett. I'm thinking it may have been a tribute to him. I also think there was more to the title as that cut was on their album P-U-L-S-E (I think). My late girlfriend had the album as well as The Wall. coastie65

Right again Coastie. :-)

The song is from their Wish You Were Here album. I believe that both Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here were both about Syd Barrett, who sadly died in 2006. Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands. I never tire of listening to both of the albums mentioned.

[coastie65]

That one nearly gave me a headache as I am a little lite on Pink Floyd stuff. As I recall, Syd Barrett was a little wild and crazy. coastie65

Okay, here's one from the vault What was Elvis's first label ? While he was at this Label he was grouped with three other notable singer/guitar players that were refered to as "The Million Dollar Quartet". Who were the other three? For a bonus, Can you name another at least one other Notable on the label. I can can think of two others, One of which was named Harold Jenkins ( not his stage name ). coastie65

Oh wow! This one is so old that it almost crumbled to dust when I looked at it :p

I think the label was Sun Records. As for the Million Dollar Quartet, I'm guessing Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, but don't know the third. The only other person I can think of, although not a "notable", was the guitar player that recorded with Elvis at the time... Scotty something (don't know his last name).

[coastie65]

Hi mcb, Ok, You got the label and you got two out of the three that made up The Million Dollar Quartet with Elvis. Incidently, the guitar person was Carl Perkins ( he was referred to as Mr. Guitar, although when I think of Guitar I think of Chet Atkins). Although Sun records was in Memphis back then, it is now in Nashville. Out of all of the people I had in mind for this exercise, only Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive. One of the people I had in Mind was with the group " The Traveling Wilburys" He had a Hit at that time and died of a Heart Attack before he saw the song Climb up the charts. It was his first hit in many years. A movie had the same same title of probably his most well known Hit. The other member of "The Million Dollar Quartet" was married to a well known singer from a well known singing family. He had a daughter who sang and put out several records as well. The third person I had in mind that was on the label was named Harold Jenkins ( real name). He had a slew of hits on both the pop charts and later Country charts. No more hints, I just drew you a picture. coastie65

When you mentioned The Traveling Wilburys, the first name that came into my head was Roy Orbison... but with the rest of the clues, I have to think you're talking about Johnny Cash. Is that it?



Try this one...

She's a singer/songwriter (with more emphasis on the songwriting). Her first top ten hit in the early 60's was It Might as Well Rain Until September, co written with her then husband. She also wrote a song called Road To Nowhere, which was a hit for several people on both sides of the Atlantic. She had a giant hit album in the early 70's that contained songs which were covered by several hit artists, and that are standards today. Who is she?

[DBS1]

I loved the Traveling Wilburys. 5 great talents in that group - George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty & Roy Orbison.

The artist yiou are looking for is Carole King. Great singer song writer.

Here's one that may be too easy but I'm asking it regardless.: During theri hiatus from the Moody Blues the 2 front men, Justin Hayword & John Locke put out an album together. What was the name of the album?

[coastie65]

Hi mcb, Yeah, Johnny Cash was the fourth member of "The Million Dollar Quartet". Roy Orbitson was one of the others I had in mind on the label. You got em all except the last one I had in mind. I told you his real name ( Harold Jenkins). coastie65

[mcbarker]

Right DBS... it was Carole King. I don't have a clue about your Moody Blues question though. Maybe Coastie can come up with the answer.

[coastie65]

Hi DBS, The hiatus was, I believe, In the mid 70s. I believe the Album was " Blue Jays" which was pretty good. coastie65

[DBS1]

Right you are coastie. I had the album when it came out and it was fantastic but it has since disappeared into the Netherworld.

I recently acquired a Sirius satelite radio and discovered chanel 14 which is called Vintage Vinyl and it plays all of the goodies from the 60's and early 70's -- some prime stuff. It sure takes one back to the days when all you had to worry about was how high you could fly.

Anyone out there remember the album called King Crimson , In the Court of the Crimson King? I remember buying it even though I had never heard of them. The only reason I bought it was because of that goofy album cover. It turned out to be great music.And yes boys and girls it was on vinyl with all the cracks and pops and such. But boy it sure sounded good.
