Well whoever it was had or has a great voice and band, sounds like a soul jazzer like Lou Rawls or someone like that, sounds live also to me. Almost sounded like a low pitched Otis Reading. Great falsetto.

I thought the same, Bob - someone like Otis Redding.

I think Peter had it right near enough Blood Sweat and Tears

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:46 am**

Steppenwolf - No.
Otis Redding - No.
BS&T - No.

Next clue: Had one FM radio "hit."

Mark is anybody likely to have heard of them outside of West Coast area

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:40 am**

Oh, I certainly hope so.
"West Coast" was just a hint.
I didn't mean that they/he/she were just a regional artist.
Definitely famous, as these things go.
I wanted to reveal last night but Sheena asked for more time.
Will end suspense and reveal later today after one more clue.

I do have a feeling they (he?) are from either Texas, or probably California, judging by the sound, and i also do have a feeling i know them, but... aah! i was even thinkin' ZZ Top, but... no, i doubt it...

Next Clues:
It is a band.
Some members within the band are related.

The Nolan sisters!!!

OK, how about the Chambers Brothers?

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:23 am**

Well, there were two brothers in the CCR lineup, but it wasn't them...
Allman Brothers? Guess not...

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:43 am**

Not the Allmans; they were from Georgia (the American Georgia, that is).

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:50 am**

Doobie Brothers?..
Oh well, nevermind - just kiddin'...

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 8:14 am**

PAUL GOT IT!
Chambers Brothers!!
Last clue was going to be: bi-racial.
(Their one "hit" was "Time (Has Come Today)"
Great, great song.

Here is the CD with "Sympathy For The Devil"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000051NT0/102-2422994-1269719?v=glance&n=5174

I have no idea why the CD is called "Live 65."
SftD was written until around '68.

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 8:21 am**

YES! What do I win?

I thought I heard something in the voice that was reminiscent of the lead vocal on "Time . . . "

Hey, not just another pretty face here!
