AHHH, I just saw a documentary about him. I'm getting ready to go out of town and this will drive me nuts. I can't remember his name but he influenced everybody. The doc is on Netflix.

I just got here - nice thread.
Too many clues on this one. Robert Johnson. I have seen a questionable video that some say is of him but I doubt it.
So, name the 80's movie where they try to find his "missing" song. Bonus, name the guitar player in the movie who works for the devil.

I remember reading that Clapton went through a phase where, if you didn't know who Robert Johnson was, he didn't want to talk to you.
I think I saw the same video you did... about 10 seconds, silent, black and white... it sounds like "experts" claim it's not him.
The movie was "Crossroads" with (The Karate Kid) Ralph Macchio. Scratch's guitar player was Jack Butler (Steve Vai).

Final song, #4, with its long coda (a repeat and repeat of the song's ending musical phrases) was recorded in November 1968--when The Beatles" "Hey Jude" was a hit, and may have been inspired by it with its long ending.
It's a song on an LP with an album cover that included images of a cake, rubber tire, etc.

What 80's movie did Kevin Costner appear in BUT it did not show his face or use his voice. It highlighted the Stones song above early in the film but did not include it in the first released soundtrack (for legal reasons?). The song started by being played on a church organ and then switched to using the Stones. The movie opened with a kid in a bathtub singing a 70's song by a group who got their name from a very cold night in the snow. I believe all the music in the film is from the 60's and very early 70's.
The movie was filmed almost entirely in a house an hour south of where I live and I have driven by it many times.

Ok kids , here is one for everyone in 1979 , yes 40 years ago . A tragedy happened in San Diego and a song was written about it . The song never made it to the top 40 in the U.S. but was on the British # 1 for 4 weeks . The state of California petitioned that the song not be played in the U.S. The lead singer that performed the song went on to become a Knight in England .

Name two members of a huge supergroup that formed shortly after Sunshine Superman that played on that record.

Speaking of Credence, the actual words are "there's a bad moon on the rise" and NOT "there's a bathroom on the right" (as many of us thought and sang for a long time...)

There are two more songs with some popularity that people may not know that they were originally French songs.
