I suppose you could get a CD made from an LP of the Ink Spots.
But my question is WHY??

 

Yes, that was the year of the first album by Boston.

In 1976, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons released December 1963 (Oh, What a Night).

If that is the song, then yes, you did make it way too easy.I believe you are confusing Opelika, Alabama with Opa-Locka, Florida.I hope you were talking about Ed Norton, not me.You actually can do it yourself with as many old albums as you like.

 

Yes, that was the one.

OK, in 1976 Boston made More Than a Feeling popular. It was remade for the movie Herbie Fully Loaded and was featured on Delta radio. Who did the cover version?

In that movie they also had Magic on the soundtrack by the original artist. Who is that?

Why do I have a funny feeling I am insulting Canarsie's intelligence on this?

 

Magic is by a group called Pilot. The song was released in the summer of 1975.

Herbie Fully Loaded: I just recently saw that stupid movie on a Delta Air Lines flight.

Who did the cover version of More Than a Feeling?

Was it Lindsay Lohan?!?

I don’t know and I don’t particularly care. I like the original song by Boston.

 

I knew I would get you on that new stuff. And I agree with you on the original but the cover wasn't bad. I leave it for someone else to answer if they have it.

OK, the soundtrack has a few other good name that original artist songs.

3. Walking On Sunshine
6. Working For The Weekend
8. Born To Be Wild
11. You Are The Woman
12. Hello

 

To my knowledge, there is only one FlyerTalk member who knows music better than I.

That FlyerTalk member is opus17.

See some of the music threads in the OMNI forum. We go head-to-head, but he usually wins out every time, primarily because I am an expert on music from the 1960s into the early 1990s, while he knows an even broader range of music.

In terms of knowledge and trivia, I can hold my own with some music from the 1930s through the 1950s, but when it comes to music released after 1993, I am totally lost and, with few exceptions, completely uninterested.

Answers:

3. Walking On Sunshine — Katrina and the Waves
6. Working For The Weekend — Loverboy
8. Born To Be Wild — Steppenwolf
11. You Are The Woman — Firefall
12. Hello — Lionel Richie

Please accept my apologies if I did not answer quickly enough.

 

No. It's someone named Ingram Hill. Never heard of him and, like you, I don't care. Truly low budget if they couldn't even afford the rights to the original. You just don't mess with a classic like More Than A Feeling!

 

I admit it, two minutes is GOOD!

How about Birdland?

 

It's about as classic as classic rock gets, isn't it?

 

That's not fair, Traveller. Alysia always delivers on her promises.

Actually, "delivers" is a very accurate term when you consider that she offers room service.

 

Are you asking about Ella Fitzgerald?

 

Well, I wasn't but maybe you know better than me. A pop group made it in the 70s to early 80s and it was horrible. Maynard Ferguson made it a famous instrumental later.

 

Dov, when do you leave to come to FLL?

 

Well, I have a song called Birdland by Chubby Checker, so I do not believe that answers your question either.

Would it be The Manhattan Transfer?!?

Could you please be more specific?

 

I don't know squat about music. But a couple of my friends kick butt. One ironically lives in ATL and the other in SEA. They many times would turn on an oldies station when we were at meetings and play Name That Tune in X notes.
And they'd holler out the name after 3 or 4 notes.
If I heard the song for an hour and the DJ announced the name before and after the song, I still wouldn't know the name.
