Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 This other group with the same name, was it a girl group Certainly not Isis. In fact our blokes group had an even earlier name with 'men' in their name. That's probably not helpful though.
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) has Ral Donner had any big hits ? well known rocker / Elvis copyist. Edited September 27, 2009 by Godzilla
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 Need to get this sorted. So: Northern tune from Wigan 'pop' era. There's also a slightly later version by another group who also did a song that Dusty covered. Lots of other people too including an instrumental version by a later variation of the second band. Our guy did the Northern tune as a solo artist though and it's (clearly) a white stomper. Label sounds like it should be a taxi firm or removal company... ...I'm giving it away now.
Guest rovers Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Bobby King,magnificentmen ? a long shot.

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Right. The band that that did the other version of his Northern tune also had a hit with a tune that was pretty big on the Northern scene a few years ago via an unreleased version by the Supremes. Come on pop fans. Can you tell it's getting near bed time... Edited September 27, 2009 by Godzilla
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 Buck Rodgers Movement !! I love Take It From Me cos it sounds like a Las Vagas cabaret lounge tune! Never seen a pic of him though unfortunately so not him.

Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Bob Kuban? and the In Men? See where your coming from but our guy's Northern tune was credited to him as solo artist. Sounds like he was company starved for a period of time too... Edited September 27, 2009 by Godzilla

Mach Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 very late,.. Godz, nearly missed it alltogether quick stab at Gary dean, aint had time to think..
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 danny woods after his 90 days, no thats not right , doh Fraid not Cod. Ta for having a guess though. Maybe I should clarify. It was a much shorter period. Also his earlier band has the same name as a band that Joe Walsh from the Eagles was in. Furthermore, I mentioned that the record label sounds like a taxi or removal firm. Now what do they always do... ..in the phone book...
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 Bobby Diamond ? ooh - right era but I would guess a year or two later...
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 danny woods after his 90 days, no thats not right , doh , why does "stormy" come to mind Because you've actually analysed all the clues and edited your post now you know, I would think
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 very late,.. Godz, nearly missed it alltogether quick stab at Gary dean, aint had time to think.. Bit of catching up to do mate. Not a bad guess but wasn't he from further North?

Guest Bogue Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 ooh - right era but I would guess a year or two later... Damn...I was optomistic there...thought i had seen him before & the bit about two bands of the same name fitted a bit with the Outcasts
Godzilla Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 I can't do it! ok 15 mins. James Gang, Spooky another version of our guy's song. Come on - you've nearly got it. I won't confuse things by mentioning Roy Orbison..

Wilbur Walton Jr. 24 Hours of Loneliness The Candy Men were Roy Orbison's backing band and included Bobby Goldsboro(see Webby!) They became The James Gang whcih had Wilbur as a member. The producer Buddy Buie kept some songs for his next group Clasics iv who cut "24 hours and also "Stormy' as on unreleased Supremes and "Spooky" done brilliantly by Dusty Springfield and as an instrumental by Atlanta Rhythm section. You should all start earlier next week. Here's Classics iv version Wibur was on 123 label, beloved by firms trying to get to the front of the phone book (geddit) and came out on Capitol in Japan
