Reginald Kenneth Dwight is better known as Sir Elton John.

Assuming that I am correct about Elton, I will propose a new question. Who inducted Elton into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?

You are and I don't know:D

good answer mml... good to see a name I haven't seen before. The floor is yours. Please ask a trivia question.

Sorry... I see that mml did ask a question and nobody answered it, therefore it is a stumper. mml, we're waiting for a new question.

couldn't find the answer on the r&r hall of fame website

Well.... it's been three days since mml answered correctly. The last person with an answer before that was none other than our own God of Thunder. GOT... I think you should ask another question. Thanks

Meeeee! I get to ask another one??
/blushes


OK, here it goes.

Cynthia Rhodes, who appeared in "Dirty Dancing" "Flashdance" and the 1984 film "Runaway" with Gene Simmons (It always comes back to KISS with me doesnt it? :lol: ), filled in the lead singer spot for what 1980s group after the original one left?



/starts the Jeopardy music

Hey sorry about not getting back on the answer to the question, " Who inducted Elton into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?". I had to go out of town unexpectedly.
The answer, oddly enough, is Axl Rose.

Once again, my humblest apologies for the tardy response.


As for the Cynthia Rhodes question, I am not sure, but my wife swears she sang for Animotion(spelling?).

Well then, your wife gets to ask the next question then, because she's right.

That's ok mml.... hope everything is ok.... looks like you have the floor again.

Well, technically his wife does. Tee hee hee. :lol:

I told my wife she had to come up with something, and she sent me this. I am pretty sure she did not come up with it on her own, but here it goes.

"This group acquired it's name from the band's high school gym instructor?"

Lynard Skynard.

The teacher's name was Leonard Skinner.

Good question by the way.




Heard this song on the way home from work the other day and thought, ooohhh, that would make a good question.

Foreigner's "Urgent" has probably the greatest saxophone solo of all time. Who played it?

bobby keys?

Nope.

He was a motown artist and leader of his own band.

Hey, this just came up yesterday in a conversation. The sax solo was by JR Walker.

See, good thing you were paying attention.

Yes it was Junior Walker, the leader of The Allstars. They are best known for the hit "Shotgun".

I remember being in high school band at the time. When the sax players I knew heard it, they immediatly tried to imitate and failed...miserably.:lol:

Welcome to the thread MrSelfDestuct and we await your question.

The 24 hour rule once again is being enforced... GOT, I believe you were the last correct answer. Got any Kiss trivia? *grins*

Well here it goes again.

You know, I'm almost tapped out of trivia, So I will have to do some digging. Get ready for some stumpers.:D

This shouldn't be one though.

What gritty-voiced classic rock star came from a family of police officers and once served as one himself?

Bob Seager?

joe crocker

Stevie Wonder

Nope
Nope
Nope, but funny.

He went through the police academy in Brooklyn, but spent his nights playing in bars.

Besides singing, he is also known for playing the saxaphone.

Eddie Money?

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!

We have a winner!!!!


Okay I need to stop eating so many cookies!!

You're up Tophat

What two members of King Crimson has Peter Gabriel involved in his albums?

You've already stumped the panel. I haven't checked in in a few days, but my guess would have been Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew. Was I right? You still get to ask the next question Tophat!

Robert Fripp produced his first two (maybe 3) albums. Tony Levin Has played Bass and backing vocals on many of his albums, including, at a minimum, his first and latest.

OK, what member of the J Geils Band played with Frank Zappa's band?

(edited for clarity)

Just a wild guess...Magic Dick?

That would be my guess too, GOT, awesome harp player!

j. geils?

Peter Wolf.

OK, I am outta here for a while, and I won't be back until the weekend, so I'll try and make this easy:

How did Duane Allman meet his maker?

Google it for confirmation and see y'all this weekend. Merry Xmas for those who do it, Merry watch the silly Christians hijack a perfectly good pagan holiday for those who don't.

;)

No need to google, Duane died when he wiped out on his motorcycle in Macon GA.

Let's see who can catch this one.


The drummer for Rory Storm & the Hurricanes went on to a band that was a little more famous, who were they?

A little late.... but that would be Ringo Starr. Sorry I was doing alot of Christmas celebrating. By the way... Merry Christmas everyone! The floor is yours GOT!

Actually I was looking for the band he later joined, but I'm sure you know that was The Beatles.


In the spirit of the holiday season, I give you the next question perripken. You did get it right.

Allright, time to kickstart this thing again.

Let me see...


Digs down deep into Bag O' Knowledge.


Ahhh...A good one.


Marvin Gaye is well known for his rendition of "I Heard it Though the Grapevine", but was not the orginal artist to record it.

Who was?


/runs away laughing

hee hee hee hee hee hee *snort* hee hee hee

Hey,
Sorry I didn't get back til today. I'm going to guess the obvious, but not sure it's correct:
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Nope, their rendition came afterwards.

I figured that would be a popular guess.

Believe it or not, it was Glady Knight & the Pips.

Perripken, I'll let you have the next question and take over. See my thread in the Member's Playground as to why I'll be hit & miss in here for awhile.

Ok... Happy New Years to all!
What great band was derived from the Guess Who and Wishbone Ash?
