Singers Who Mention There Own Name In Their Song

[Kris Holmes]

I've got asong by Jackie Wilson & Lavern Baker - Think Twice, but it is XXX version, they both name each other frequently in the song but it's pretty serious swearing, so if your not easily offended I can send you the mp3. it seems to be an out take from the session when they recorded the real published version but this is a joking/crude version... be warned.....

[Guest Garry Huxley]

buggar me sheldon,

dont start the bhoy off again, you know what he's like with chapter 5!!. incidentally, someone mentioned about tyrone davis singing his name on several songs and so did eddie parker.....so how many others repeat that message?.....THATS A GOOD TIE-IN TO THIS THREAD.....WHO HOLDS THE RECORD FOR MENTIONING THEIR NAME THE MOST ON SINGLES,LP'S ETC.?

 

Probally J B or Bo Diddly as in fottage of old films and stage shows there was a lot of it espically Battle of the bands film with little richard, Wish i still had the old Bo diddly vid it was brill, more r&r than r£b Though.

[Ady Of Newark]

Spyder Turner - Stand By Me

Beat me to it Kev Thats my fav Goffin King composition. Superb song

  Yep, but only by 2 years Garry.

 

Agree, a suberb song. Played it out once and the promoter came rushing to the decks with "Is that Sam Hawkins?".  I thought he was taking the p!ss - due to the name check just having been sung.

When you mention Goffin & king to most soulies they reply "But are'nt they white" with a blank expression on face, I dont bother to explain anymore
