OK, so no-one knew that the last “Name That Tune” was Joss Stone singing “Right To Be Wrong”. It was certainly a hit this side of the Atlantic, but maybe never crossed the great Duckpond, I dont know. Its always a little difficult to know which songs were hits in the USA when living in a different continent. Ah well…

Todays song is another I’m not too sure of… over here it was a massive hit a few year ago, but on your side? Give it a try

Oh, isn’t it greaaattttt!!!! Fooled you all, well almost…. Most of the players that answered the last “Name That Tune” thought that I was looking for Randy Meisner “Never Been In Love”, some thought that the mystery artist was Randy Crawford. The only 2 (TWO!!) players that got the answer right were: (big round of applause) Spnnrn and Trish and Todd (who count as one person).
The answer was: Randy Edelman - Uptown Uptempo Woman, a great song indeed!!
Todays offering may be a little easier…

So, did I catch you out on that one then? Nobody got all the answers correct, in fact only two players answered at all… Kudos then to Spnnrn and Mike (daddyo) for knowing that the title of the song was “We can work it out” from The Beatles. No-one recognised the singer in the clip, the late but great Steve Marriott with Humble Pie, from the Street Rats album.
By the way, doing a feature on Humble Pie got me to thinking about who is the greatest British Rock Vocalist of …

So, that last one certainly caught your imagination….

At this point I would like to take a moment to introduce a new and exciting band to you. I heard them at a concert I went to at the end of May …

Well my problems with access to the Internet turned out to be more serious than I thought, and I still don’t have full access, but it’s enough I think to carry on with Name That Tune, even though I must tell you that I still dont have access to the statistics, so there’ll be no standings published today.
