Good one Joey
Should I use the excuse that I was checking to see if we had any Deep Purple fans here? Nah. Every bass player loves DP don't they?

Here's the next one, it might be a little tougher.
Who wrote the Bangles first big hit "Manic Monday" using the pseodonym "Christopher"?

OK one more and then someone else can take a turn:
Between April and July of 1977 two actors who were then starring on separate hit shows on ABC television also hit number one on the pop charts. Which two singers/actors reached the top of the charts in 1977?

David Soul and.....augh!!! I'll have to resort to research!winston wrote:OK one more and then someone else can take a turn:

Research done:
What about Shaun Cassidy????? (Da Doo Ron Ron & starred in The Hardy Boys)
David Soul did "Dont Give Up on Us" - a song that would have made Air Supply proud, as well as the seminal cop show Starsky & Hutch.

Right... now for a question with an Aussie flavour.
Two Australian acts, a band (not Air Supply) and a solo artist (also a US TV star), had top ten hits in the US in '81.
The solo act and a founding member of the band had a connection that stretched back to the late '60s...
Who was the solo act?
What was the name of the band?
What was the connection?
