OK. They performed at Woodstock.

But didn't appear in the movie.

Moloko · « **Reply #984 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:25:04 pm »

Creedence Clearwater Revival? Can't remember all the acts in the movie, even though I've got the movie.

hatler · « **Reply #985 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:36:27 pm »

Ta dah !!!

And Dicky Mo has it. I was about to post that they outsold the Beatles in 1969 and 1970.

Moloko · « **Reply #986 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:39:40 pm »

I've got a number of CCR in my MP3 collecshun. Not knowing how they faired in the U.S. charts was the killer.

Moloko · « **Reply #987 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:44:57 pm »

Name Donovan's highest charting single combining the U.S. and U.K charts, and the guest guitarist on it.

Moloko · « **Reply #988 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:51:14 pm »

I've got to do a Captain Oates.

It's a easy-peasy quickie, so 'get it' and do carry on.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #989 on:** 07 February, 2010, 02:54:46 pm »

Mellow Yellow. George Harrison.

(total guesses)

Moloko · « **Reply #990 on:** 07 February, 2010, 04:50:08 pm »

No and no.

I've just had to amend the question because of the U.K. and the U.S. charts. Sorry, my bad.

Jennifer juniper. Guess the guitarist - Jimmy Page (it usually is!)

It must be true then. Yes, it's Jimmy.

I thought the song would've been guessed first though.

Did I get the song right then?

If so, here we go...

Which singer's management allegedly rejected Labi Siffre's "(Something Inside) So Strong on the grounds that it was "too black" (leading Siffre to record it himself instead)?

The film Johnny Was was filmed partly in Belfast and Stiff Little Fingers sang Bob Marley's Johnny Was and they are from Belfast. DOn't think Green Day are from Belfast, is Florence Machine ?

Nah, she's from saarf Lunnon innit. Used to see her all the time in TWFKAML's former local.

A clue for y'all

The singer was a lady

Martin · « **Reply #996 on:** 09 February, 2010, 09:48:39 am »

Joan Armatrading? ( I just have a ear fly of her singing it)

citoyen · « **Reply #997 on:** 09 February, 2010, 09:54:17 am »

1st guess: Joni Mitchell

2nd guess: Joan Baez

jogler · « **Reply #998 on:** 09 February, 2010, 10:10:41 am »

gladys knight

Martin, jogler - I'm interested in the thought process that leads you to suggest Joan Armatrading and Gladys Knight when the complaint was that the song was "too black". Or is it one of those trick questions?

In which case, I'll have another guess: Diana Ross.
