Clarion, a side issue: I also saw GW and the Ram Jam Band in Newcastle.  A great show.  I also saw Root and Jenny Jackson there, this time at The Quay Club.  They'd only done a couple of tunes when the police raided it for drugs.  I remember one young policeman trying to face Jenny Jackson into a wall and her turning round and saying, "We in bondage, man?"  It was the first time I'd gone to a gig with my girlfriend.  We've been together over forty years, now.  (The police left soon to try and get their drugs somewhere else.)

Chrissie was in the band that became The Damned, but was asked to leave.  Did Capt Sensible take her place?

Wow.  Could have been the same tour.  1984?  So did the gig carry on after the Police left?

I wish it was, then I'd be a lot younger!  1968, I think.  Yes, the gig went on....and so did we!

I'm new to this - so I'll start with something simple, please feel free to pull-me-up on any technical issues.

What are the two missing links between Cher (of sonny & Cher fame) and Five Star?

Is it something to do with their dad?  He was a session musician, and played with all sorts of big names.  His name was IIRC Stedman Pearson Snr.

I'm afraid not, but a good effort - Mr. Pearson Snr (in his time) a highly talented and sought after session man

As I'm new to this, do I have to start giving hints or clues at some time? - I seem to have killed this topic stone dead

It's had lulls while people have a think, so don't worry.  But clues are welcome whenever you like.

Nope. I can see the Cher bit - not sure about the Five Star portion.


A couple more geusses, and I will start giving clues.  :demon:

Cher says she was born in a waggon, though, but Five Star could have been on Tent records.

OK. From the original question, there are two missing links between Cher and Five star.

This should be the only clue you need, don't go as deep as lyrics or great grandparents twice removed .

Think songs and kin.

That should blow it out of the water, but the correct links would be appriciated, it's no good claiming that they all had the same breed of pet pooch that appeared on "Wonderdog's" " Ruff Mix"

1. Identify a song that Cher covered  (along with loads of others).
2. One of those "loads of others" - has kin that did the original version of a 5-Star song.

Have a geuss, next clue will be a video.

Can't think of any song by Five Star that was a cover version.  In fact, they wrote most of them between the band & producers AIUI.  But it's not my area of expertise.  I surrender.

By contrast, of course, Cher's immense back catalogue has masses of covers.
