Guest Kolla Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Ok folks, name this singer Who ever guesses right - the game passes over to them. (Keep any image posted up to under 20K.)
Haydn Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 If it is who i am thinking of Kolla, then she doesn't look as good nowadays, give us a little clue please. H
Guest Kolla Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 LOL - she defiantely doesn't look 'as' good these days but she's definatley alive and kicking. Clue: She was born in the mid 1930, her mum was afro-american and her father was from the Philipines.
Guest Kolla Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Hehe - well that was a short game! Yep, born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton, she recorded under the nickname that Johnny Otis gave her in the late '50s - 'Sugar Pie' DeSanto. Ok - 'guest's' turn now! [Mr Rimmer - was it you that forgot to sign in ? just a wild guess ] Bit of trivia on SugarPie - she wrote the beautiful track "My Illusion" and recorded it on Soul Clock. It was later covered by label-mates The Whispers ... but i still prefer her version
Haydn Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 She recorded for a very well known label Chess but what was the name of the label before it changed??????
Guest Kolla Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Haydn - was that who you were thinking off before ? Chess was previously called the Aristocrat Recording Corporation i think. Doesn't really fit well on a label, does it.
Haydn Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Yes thats it Kolla, I was torn between Eartha Kitt and for some strange reason Barbara Randolph came into my head. Leonard & Phil owned Aristocrat label and changed it to Chess in 1949, now that is a long time ago but it sure gives the label the edge on the RnB circuit( we don't want to go there again eh?) Haydn
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Hehe - well that was a short game! Yep, born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton, she recorded under the nickname that Johnny Otis gave her in the late '50s - 'Sugar Pie' DeSanto. Ok - 'guest's' turn now! [Mr Rimmer - was it you that forgot to sign in ? just a wild guess ] Er, yes it was me that forgot to log in. You lasted 24 minutes :-) I'll have a look round for a suitably obscure photo to post up
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Ok then, who's this.....you've got to get it in under 24 minutes
Mike Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Not a clue Dave but does for some reason have a r&b sort of look to me warm ?
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Clue No 1 didn't help then. Clue No. 2: Girlie's name
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 As if you couldn't guess, but that was me. Auto log in seems to have stopped working this weekend.
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Is it Wade Flemmons? Tooley Just got in from walk along sunny Scarborough seafront :o)
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Well done. Perfectly correct. The clues: No 1 - Earth Wind & Fire. No. 2 - Jeanette, and if nobody had got it, No 3 was going to be: Somewhere Else - That Other Place. Your turn
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 oops, let's see if the pic attaches itself this time............
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Clue Time: Born Chicago 1945. Not a great deal of money? Tooley
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Is it Bettye Swann ? Nope. Think about a predatory East coast fish................
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Denise Laselle (LaSOLE), lol Nope again. Next clue: One of her labels had plenty of stars cheers.
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Next clue: One of her labels had plenty of stars cheers. The label could be Constellation, so I'd guess at Holly Maxwell.
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Wand/Sceptor??? You need to be looking a bit higher than that to see these stars, Haydn. :o)
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 The label could be Constellation, so I'd guess at Holly Maxwell. Spot on Dave, One time stand in for Tina Turner. The "not much money" clue referred to One Thin Dime Cheers, Tooley
Haydn Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Ochhh!!! Mr Rimmer always beats us, I'm tellin' Mike, lol
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Dave make the next one easy for me , so i can play.............
Dave Rimmer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Back to me then. No clues to start with because it's a nice easy one.

Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Final brain rack before bedtime. Tangeers? Pretty sure that's not how the country's spelt though. I'll get me pyjamas. Tooley
Simon T Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'll have to find another now. Here we go Is it the Humprey Lyttleton Band, without Humprey? More clues please as I'm think, but have a few photos to quizz you with.
Dave Rimmer Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 The Contours? Janine x Well done Janine. Your turn. I'll have a guess now....Joanie Summers :-)
