ValerieB Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Lou Rawls? Edited to add back-up guess: Al Jarreau. But I think it's Lou. Damn, i can't think of Johnny's last name! i know he passed away years ago. Nope, nope and nope! I had a hunch someone might say Lou Rawls! Valerie, let us know who the Johnny is you are thinking of! It isn't him either, but now I'm curious. All the hints I can think of would make it obvious, so I'll wait a bit before giving a clue. i thought it was Johnny Nash.

GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 LOL! That's my favorite Christmas rock song! The copy I have goes all the way to the end of the recording, which stops abruptly with the ringing of an alarm clock! Anyway, that is correct, Jim! It's Hank Ballard!

Stereojack Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is a hard one for most of us. Lavern Baker. (I knew Ballard, but didn't get up in time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Recognized Hank and LaVern but, like Jack, I was a late riser today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Correct, Jack and Paul! It's Lavern Baker. That photo has been used on some CDs, so I figured that Jack would have come across it and would recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 While we're waiting for a hint from Bill, here's another one: Big Head Clyde McPhatter! Correct, Jim! I saw him perform at the Kennedy Center in DC very shortly before he died. He was great, the best of the oldies show, which included Little Richard and Cornell Gunter & the Coasters.

Bill Nelson Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 And you're right! So who's this? One of my favorite pickers. Eugene Chadbourne?
