I think Glen got this before you guys!studiotwosession wrote:The same recording as the original was re-released twice in the early 70s. In '73 it made the top ten again. Leon Russell was one of The Cryptkickers, and the Beach Boys did an excellent version of it.
Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Who wrote "The Tonight Show" theme? There are two writers credited. Name them both.

Paul Anka and Kevin Eubanks.

Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Paul Anka is correct Peter. However, I am still looking for the correct answer as to who is listed as the co-writer?

Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Kevin Eubanks seems to have composed the closing theme, Brian. Sorry to have mislead.

Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Peter, this was in fact a bit of a trick question.
Although Johnny Carson was given half the writing credits, the "Tonight Show" theme was actually a solo writing effort by Paul Anka.

Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
You sly fox.Talking of Sly Fox what was the hit they scored in the 80`s called? No Googling now!!!
Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Never heard of them Scott.
Here's another one for you. This may be tough. Questions can be answered separately if you wish.
In 1971 a hit song composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel won three Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Female Performer and it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks.
The writers were inspired by a poem by Lori Lieberman who paid tribute to a rock and roll star of the early 1970s.
1) Who was the first person that commercially recorded the song?
and
2) Who was the female singer of the hit version?
and
3) Who was the subject of the song?

Re: Rock and Roll Trivia
Scott,
Very well done, the song title is correct, therefore the singer who had the actual hit, is also correct. That leaves two questions that currently remain unanswered.
I looked Sly Fox up and let's just say......I was not impressed. It's no wonder I had never heard of them.
