February 10, 20179 yr "If you believe in forever Then life is just a one-night stand If there's a rock and roll heaven Well you know they've got a hell of a band... " I always loved that old Righteous Brothers song. First of all, do you know the six rock and rollers commemorated in the '74 hit song? While you are pondering that one, I'll pose the following question to you: If you passed away today and entered into the pearly gates of Heaven, who would be the six rockers who passed on before you that you would hope to see jamming away in Heaven's band??? Karen Carpenter Brad Delp(Boston) Dan Fogelberg Freddie Mercury Elvis Presley Warren Zevon Maybe opening for them: Conway Twitty Robin Gibb Paul Davis Terry Kath Gerry Rafferty Bob Welch

February 10, 20179 yr It'd be interesting to hear some songs co-written by Buddy Holly and John Lennon...

February 10, 20179 yr Author Otis Redding Marvin Gaye Roy Orbison Karen Carpenter Bobby Darin Clarence Clemons I love this interpretation of Dylan's "If Not For You" by Bobby and one of my crushes as a teen, Helen Reddy. These two had some kind of chemistry. LOVE IT ! Edited February 11, 20179 yr by Science Friction
February 10, 20179 yr Author Mack, you are the expert on Darin, so let me ask you something. It may just be me but Bobby reminds me of Harold Jenkins(aka, Conway Twitty). As I watch this clip of him and Helen, I can't help but notice the similarities. Bobby's sex appeal, his unique method of delivery, the way he carries himself... puts me in mind of Conway. Again, maybe just me. I bet those two dudes could have had any woman they set their sights on.
February 11, 20179 yr Author I can see the similarities. Have you seen "Beyond The Sea" with Kevin Spacey? No, I haven't.
February 11, 20179 yr No, I haven't. Spacey directed, produced, starred, and co-wrote the screenplay.
