Fancy Another Sunday Picture Quiz?

[Godzilla]

Chris Cerf?

Sorry - missed this one. Nope - as far as i know not connected to Sesame Street like ol' Chris

[Godzilla]

In the photo, the backdrop look like something from the 50's and the trombone suggests he's the trombonist in a 'band', rather than a member of R&B / R&R beat combo, or is that a red herring? If not, is he xxxxx & the somethings? And his name is the same on the record?

I keep thinking of the likes of Bob Kuban, Frankie Ford, Bill Black's Combo, Am I barking up the right tree?

That's about three questions.

In order I'd say

No

No

Yes

[Guest rovers]

Phil Coulter,Can't get any further away from soul music than A good thing going(tho i love this tune)

[Godzilla]

I keep thinking of the likes of Bob Kuban, Frankie Ford, Bill Black's Combo, Am I barking up the right tree?

oops - I missed that last question. I think naming a whole bunch of artists is cheating, but on this occasion I'll tell you it's none of them. So Yes - it's the wrong tree up which you are barking

[Godzilla]

He's lrish!!By the way is he American our fella!!?

Well spotted Webby - you clearly know your Eurovision.

And yes - he's American.

[Godzilla]

......Got it,it's only flipping Eddie Regan innit!!!?

Rovers was closer with Phil Coulter

[Guest isis]

Did he have anything to do with a record label other than as an artist?

Wrong instrument

[Godzilla]

Good question!

Not as far as I know though.

[Godzilla]

KEN!!l've already said that 2 hours ago,now pay attention!

You said Jerry Fuller.

Now put this pointy hat on and stay in the corner until someone else has had a guess.

[Godzilla]

billy harner

Harner's done loads of blue eyed soul stuff. Unlike our chappy who's done errr... none.

[Godzilla]

...Thing is though,mate,l actually know the answer and nobody else does!

[Mach]

Joey Dee,.. or even Micky Moonshine..

[Godzilla]

...........Al De Lory!!! Thank you!!

The closest guess so far I suppose.

Bath's ready - I'll deal with any sensible guesses when I get out

[Simon T]

Does the record have a vocal?

[Mach]

Bob Brady..:without his concords....

[Godzilla]

Does the record have a vocal?

At last! No

[Godzilla]

Bob Brady without his concords....

I've mended your tumbleweed.

Now, see me after class, Big Chris.

[Godzilla]

Hey everybody,let's hope he doesn't drown eh? Just in case he does the answer is either Derek or Ray!

Very considerate. Put your hands out...

Neither. You were doing so well...

[Guest rovers]

mike post ?

[Mach]

Game aint up yet webby,..my moneys on Joe 90.. ..or Dave mitchell,.without his Screamers

[billysbag]

mike vickers?

[Guest isis]

Billy Arnell..

[billysbag]

did we establish an instrument? did he play the trombone?

[Godzilla]

mike post ?

Carry on like this and you'll be the one to crack it Rovers

[Godzilla]

Game aint up yet webby,..my moneys on Joe 90.. ..or Dave mitchell,.without his Screamers

Then put all your money in an envelope and post it to me. Better than chucking it down the drain

[Godzilla]

mike vickers?

See what you mean

Nope.

[Godzilla]

Billy Arnell..

much, much colder....

[Godzilla]

did we establish an instrument? did he play the trombone?

That's two questions. However we need to get this done tonight as I'm busy all day tomorrow and out in the evening so:

No you haven't established an instrument - but it doesn't matter to this quiz which one.

Yes he did play trombone. He was well known for it apparently. Makes no difference to this quiz as it's got really got anything to do with his Northern Soul record. Actually there are some but pretty low in the mix near the end so don't get hung up on the 'bone.

[Mach]

much, much colder....

and there was a vocal to that too,..i spied the trombone in the picture also:wicked:..is..it mr Eamon from his orchestra..if not i give up....( Teddy Vann)..

[Godzilla]

just keeping him on each page so you don't have to go back.

[Godzilla]

( Teddy Vann)..

Actually you're closer with teddy Not for his soul credentials though.

Time for more clues: as well as thinking about Teddy Vann I can tell you've I've already mentioned a word that's in the title of Mystery Guy's record in an earlier post. On purpose.

[Codfromderby]

its the flasher himself, lloyd micheals, without his mistura

[Guest]

Bob Keene

[Godzilla]

Gil Scott-Heron or one of The Astral Trips?

GSH was a black proto-rapper. I think you mean Mystic Moods aka Mystic Moods Orchestra who did Astral Trip. Again about the right time but thematically much further away.

[Godzilla]

its the flasher himself, lloyd micheals, without his mistura

about time you joined in Cod. Nope though. I see you've cottoned on to the jazz business but don't let that lead you astray. His Northern tune was a 'genre' type record but not jazz. As you can probably tell I'm near the end of the wine and getting close to bedtime...

[Guest rovers]

Any chance of a label hint.

[Guest isis]

Dick Leslie....he looks like a Dick

[Godzilla]

Bob Keene

They would B sides wouldn't they Ken? This has a big fat "A" on the Northern side of promo copies.

[Godzilla]

Any chance of a label hint.

It's a major. Or a sub of one.

[Godzilla]

Dick Leslie....he looks like a Dick

That's both wrong and very rude. I shall be writing to your parents.

During the 1970s, his work brought him into collaborations with such diverse artists as Bobby Sherman, Tower of Power, and Bruce Johnston. During the late '50s and early '60s, Betts was also closely associated with Choreo/AVA Records,for which he recorded his only album, The Jazz Soul of Doctor Kildare,in 1962, which featured a band of West Coast luminaries including Jack Sheldon, Milt Bernhart, Bud Shank, and Bill Perkins. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

Harry Betts (born 15 September, 1922) is a jazz composer and trombonist.

Born in New York and raised in Fresno, CA he has written and orchestrated soundtracks for several films, including The Fantastic Plastic Machine and Nice Dreams. Music from his 1972 soundtrack to Black Mama, White Mama was used in the 2003 soundtrack for Kill Bill, Volume 1.

He was active as a jazz trombonist and played with Stan Kenton's orchestra in the 1950s, among others.

So: Epic - sub of Major label Columbia. Connections with black music/art - the Blaxploitation soundtrack Black Mama, White Mama. Closer to Al De Lory as a Jazzer and anyone else mentioned who did theme songs.
