I'm starting a new question.

One British number one hit single contains in its lyrics the title of the subsequent number one hit single. Name them both.

Manfred Mann used 'Jupiter' from Holst's Planets Suite for 'Joybringer'.

Hey Jude and Don't Let Me Down? (Don't know if the second one was a number 1, but it is with me!)

Don't turn around by Aswad contains the word "Heart"

Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry

The following number one was "Heart" by the Pet Shop Boys according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_singles_from_the_1980s_%28UK%29

It seems likely there are other examples?

Q:
Which Canadian musician is credited with coining the title of OMD's album Architecture and Morality?

Joni Mitchell?

Celine Dion?

d.

Sounds more like KD Lang.

Quisling · « **Reply #1657 on:** 16 June, 2011, 05:25:37 pm »

Not Joni, Celine or KD I'm afraid

Clue, the person you're looking for IS female, and at some point was also a member of The Associates. She also designed a record sleeve for New Order.

Cool lady!

clarion · « **Reply #1658 on:** 16 June, 2011, 05:29:46 pm »

No nicknack. Architecture & Morality was about 1980, so kd was just a kid.

edit: x-post w/Q

Martha! Of muffin fame. No idea what her surname is.

Actually, that wasn't it, but you can have it.

I was going for Bohemian Rhapsody followed by Mamma Mia.

Quisling · « **Reply #1661 on:** 16 June, 2011, 06:58:30 pm »

@Kirst - thank you

@ Clarion - spot on, Martha Ladly it is.

clarion · « **Reply #1662 on:** 17 June, 2011, 09:26:36 pm »

OK. Apologies for the delay. I was quite questionless till now.

Who played on a UK No1 tribute to the leader of his former band?

clarion · « **Reply #1663 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:23:38 pm »

Clue 1: He played sax

Clue 2: Although the song about him got to No.1, the artist hymned barely troubled the UK singles chart, but was a very popular live performer, and had two very successful live albums.

jogler · « **Reply #1664 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:26:08 pm »

Gerry Rafferty?

clarion · « **Reply #1665 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:29:11 pm »

No, but a reasonable guess, though not close stylistically. His biggest hit was within two years of the song in question.

jogler · « **Reply #1666 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:36:35 pm »

Junior Walker?

clarion · « **Reply #1667 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:39:14 pm »

No. And I don't recall Junior Walker being in any other band than the All Stars. The chap you're after is not the named artist on the record. He is/was a member of the band.

jogler · « **Reply #1668 on:** 18 June, 2011, 06:41:01 pm »

I'm just guessing.Can you tell?

Peter · « **Reply #1669 on:** 18 June, 2011, 07:32:22 pm »

It's not Beefheart (and therefore Ry Cooder) is it? Don't recall RC having a UK No1 but I saw Beefheart live at the GoGo in NewCassell and he was great.

BlackSheep · « **Reply #1670 on:** 18 June, 2011, 07:49:35 pm »

I would have initilly geussed Paul Carrack, but he employs the services of his excelence Steve Beighton.

So I'll go away and think on it

clarion · « **Reply #1671 on:** 18 June, 2011, 09:01:31 pm »

Both excellent guesses, but not right, I'm afraid.

Peter · « **Reply #1672 on:** 18 June, 2011, 09:26:40 pm »

Clarion, is everyone involved British, pretty please (like Heckstall-Smith and Clapton)?

Adrian · « **Reply #1673 on:** 18 June, 2011, 09:32:12 pm »

Does it involve Gino?

clarion · « **Reply #1674 on:** 18 June, 2011, 09:36:38 pm »

Adrian, it does! Well, Geno, in fact.

I'll give you that.

Jeff Blythe, saxophonist for Dexy's Midnight Runners on their 1980 No1 'Geno', about Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band, was previously in the Ram Jam Band (although I don't believe he was on any of their records). Jeff 'JB' Blythe, interestingly, was first called Geoff Blythe, but changed his name. Rock & Roll, eh?

I have seen Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band in concert (the first gig I ever worked), along with Root Jackson & the GB Blues Company, and Ruby Turner. I have never seen Dexy's live.

Your turn.
