Just joining this thread:

I also thought the lead singer of "Hot Child In The
City" was a woman as I did the singer of "Jackie Blue".

I thought the singer Garnett Mimms of "Cry Baby" was a
woman.]]> Mon, 17 May 2021 00:40:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58203&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58203 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58196&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58196 Author: EdisonLite

I agree with all 3 of the songs that C J Brown mentions - all would fit in that style I was mentioning.]]> Sun, 16 May 2021 00:31:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58196&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58196 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58191&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58191 Author: C J Brown

I share some of the music thoughts expressed above by
EdisonLite. I feel similar about his description of "Whan
Bam Shang a Lang" I would probably add Pilot and "It's
Magic" and Jig Saw with "Sky High". Plus "Bad Time' by
Grand Funk. If I think of any more I will find a thread
title and start a new separate thread. ]]> Sat, 15 May 2021 16:09:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58191&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58191 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58187&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58187 Author: EdisonLite

I, too, was hoping the Silver album would have more songs that sounded like "Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang" and was sad that wasn't the case. I really do like the aforementioned "All I Wanna Do" and also the ballad "Memory". All 3 of these songs were the only 3 not written by the band but picked by the record company president Clive Davis. All the rest of the songs on the album were written by the band members. Which told me I really didn't like the band - just the songs that Clive chose for them. :) I mean, without those 3 songs, I really didn't like Silver at all. Maybe I shouldn't admit this in public but I think "Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang" was my #1 song of 1976!

And speaking of that song, there was a certain type of poppy sound in records that I liked from 1972 (the year I started listening) to 1976. And I really felt that "Wham Bam..." was literally the last hit song that fell into that style. After that, there were still many great uptempo pop songs but none that were like my favorites from 1972-1976. I can't really put into words what that "sound" was, but I just never heard that sound again afterwards.]]> Sat, 15 May 2021 13:58:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58187&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58187 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58094&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58094 Author: Yah Shure

"All I Wanna Do" and "Trust In Somebody" were the two best songs that Poco never recorded. The two groups actually did have something in common: album covers designed by the late Phil Hartmann.]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2021 10:04:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58094&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58094 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9584&PID=58093&title=o-t-singers-that-sound-like#58093 Author: AndrewChouffi

Yes! but the cut before it on the album 'Elan'
("Strange Way") was published by Stephen Stills Music so
Stills' presence is closer than we think...

"Sweet And Sour" is a great song by the way.
