I must count differently than you, Kathy and Al. :confused:
I found Elvis at Posts number 8, 19, 25 and 41 for a total of 4. Seems like only the Eagles & Beatles had more.

Since this is a different day and I'm in a different mood, my 3 choices today are:

Eddie Floyd
Ray Price
The Casinos

Many won't recognize these but everyone probably knows songs they played but as recorded later by more well known artists. Can you guess the songs without Google? (Tom can't play..........he's a trivia expert!)

PS. Tomorrow I'm going to name: Blood, Sweat & Tears; Steve Winwood; and Booker T and the MG's. :wave:

mgjim 11-25-2011 07:59 PM

1. The Beatles
2. Creedence Clearwater Revival
3. Eric Clapton

Any many more!

CaptJohn! "Kiss me each morning for a millions years. Hold me each evening by your side. Tell me you love me for a millions years. Then if it don't work out. Then if it don't work out. Then you can tell me goodbye." Then the big B-3 solo! One of my all-time favorites! Someday we will play it together!

We saw Little Anthony and The Imperials about four years ago at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario. It was one of the best shows we have ever seen there! They are still all the original singers in their late 60s and have all been together since they were 17. They could sing and dance better than a lot of 20 and 30 year olds. Little Anthony hadn't lost a bit of his voice.
I wish they would come to The Savannah Center.

Something tells me the Electric Flag played at Monterey Pop Festival. Think they were a jazz/blues band. Otherwise I know little about them. And I think The Captain is pulling our legs about EF being one of his favorite bands. LOL

Very good! No joke from me. They've got organ, horns, drive, etc. Check out the album
'A Long Time Comin'.

Some of the songs were on the movie Easy Rider. Michael Bloomfield on guitar.

From youtube:
"Like Blood, Sweat, & Tears, and later Chicago, and Tower of Power, The Electric Flag, fused jazz, blues, R&B, and rock. It was one of the first groups to make use of horns. "Sittin' in Circles" composed by keyboardist, Barry Goldberg, and performed by singer and guitarist Nick Gravenites, is from A Long Time Comin' the debut album of the band. The album, released by Columbia Records in March 1968, reached #31 on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart, and is currently available on CD on the Sony label."

CaptJohn, by now you may have figured out that I sang with a couple brass rock bands back in the day, and one did "Groovin' Is Easy" by the Flag. Ahhh, the memories!

So jealous! I grew up three blocks away from the Beatles' first U.S. concert at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium and couldn't get a ticket. All I remember hearing from our front porch was all the screaming...
