Magic Sam/Magic Slim/Guitar Slim/Lightning
Slim/Lightning Hopkins/Screaming Jay Hawkins/Howling
Wolf...One guy seems to lead your mind to another
guy and so on. You know these blues guys are aware of
each other and must be doing this on purpose. Just
like all the "King" guitarists from Pt 1.
Revisited: I know I had this in Pt 1 but...
Brian Jones/Mick Taylor/Mick Jones/Ron Wood...Of
course Ron Wood looks like Rod Stewart (Ron,Rod
similar names) and they were both in The Faces! And
there were two Mick Joneses!! Anyway, now add to this
the esteemed Mott the Hoople rocker Mick Ronson. He
has the Mick thing going from the Joneses and Taylor
and the Ron from Ron Wood. Yikes! Then there's another
Ron with a short last name, Ronnie Lane, who was in,
you guessed it, The Faces!
Men Without Hats/Men At Work...Haven't heard from
them in a while. If they hit the road together they
can call it the Men Without Hits/Men Out of Work Tour
WhiteSnake/GreatWhite/WhiteLion...Be careful here.
You don't want to pin the nightclub fire fiasco on the
wrong guys. It was the 2nd group by the way. That's
still a tough one to come to grips with because it was
so senseless and avoidable.
Boyz2Men/B2K/BelBivDevoe...Did all these R&B boy
groups have to start with the letter B? Not only from
the same musical genre but they sounded and looked
alike too.
The Dells/The Delfonics/The Del Vikings...Del
Shannon's above the fray Thank God. He's a solo artist
and not a group name so I don't confuse him with them. "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" with this entry? I
hope not.
Frankie Valli/Franki Avalon/Frankie Laine...We'll
leave Sergio 'Volare' Franchi out of this.
Jerry Vale/Bobby Vee/Bobby Vinton...Too many
easy-listening white guy V singers out there.
Otis Rush/Otis Clay/Otis Spann/Otis Day (&the
Knights)/O.V. Wright...All these Blues R&B Otises
you keep running into. Or is it Otisi plural? I worship Otis Redding though so I don't confuse him with anybody!
Henry Mancini/Ray (Boom Boom) Mancini/Rocky Marciano/Rocky Graziano....How did the guy who wrote
the Pink Panther Theme get mixed up with a bunch of
pugnacious pugilists? I dunno but I still get screwed
up.
Richie Havens/Richie Valens/Johnny Rivers/Jimmy Rodgers... If you happen to buy a greatist hits package of one guy thinking it's the other guy, don't despair. All 4 of these accomplished troubadours are worth having in your collection anyway!
Brenda Lee/Peggy Lee/Shirley Lee....all singers! But
they lead to Michelle Lee actress and then Sara Lee so
now I'm hungry. Want cheesecake. Bye.
