Question for Music fans...

[JustAnotherNut]

Can you remember any of the lyrics? You didn't give us much to go on.

I has no idea, and I know of most people.

You got a phrase from a song or what?

Sorry........no to both. He did play bass? guitar and again his voice was similar to ZZTop's LaGrange

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Damaged Eagle do you have any ideas???

 

[S.J.]

Santana?

I wish, he's easy to remember. But this guy had like a top hat worn low to hide his pocky or scarred face and I want to say his name had 'Bone' in it...but any searches come up with T-Bone the rapper and Redbone, that is Native American group that sang 'Come & get your love' and neither is him.

I know who you're talking about. Gimme a minute and I'll think of his name.

 

[Auld Phart]

Leon Russell?

Leon Russell?

That's not the guy I'm thinking about ........but who is this guy anyway? He's not part of Joe Cocker's band, is he???

Root Boy Slim?

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Root Boy Slim?

No.....I don't think he had a band behind him, I only remember the one guy front & center as a solo act. He gave the impression that he didn't care about fame or showing off.....he was just there because he had a song to share. If you liked it great & if not, then kiss off........type of persona.


As I said, I know it's a long shot, but had to ask

Sounds like Tom Waits.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Yeah I was thinking Tom Waits as well.

He's close, but no.

The biggest problem is I've only seen him the one time on stage (on tv, not in person)........there may have been one other time, but as a cameo to someone elses music but can't be sure on that. It may have been like with the one ZZTop song......the voice is so close.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Sorry people, but I give up for tonight & will try again another day. Thanks for everyone's help

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Lot of guys playing at that time wore goatees.

Lead singer?
Guitar or bass?
Drums?
Any song that impressed you by him to make you think of him?

Dark hair?
Did he always wear a hat?
Was he black, white, native America, Asian?

Geddy Lee - Rush

Lemmy Kilster - Motorhead

Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy

It would help if you knew some lyrics or type of songs he sang. Rock, country, jazz, etc,..

There's lots of singers to choose from even at that time period.

[Chuz Life]

Frank Zappa

 

[Damaged Eagle]

All four of the Beatles experimented with goatees, beards, and hats after they broke up.

^^^They wouldn't care about fame at that time^^^

^^^Then there was Bob Dylan^^^

And of course...

*****CHUCKLE*****





NOTE: I was going to add Zappa to this post but Chuz Life beat me to the punch.

Why the hell did you include Mani ???? That's a big NO.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

I really do appreciate everyone's help, but I don't think I'll ever find out just who it was. Since I haven't seen him in over 40+ years, it's obvious he never made it big, unless it was a 'behind-the-scene' voice. Sorry to inconvenience everyone.

 

[S.J.]

Leonard Cohen?

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Leonard Cohen?

nope
