The song is obvious.
Who is the artist?
Sheena . . .?

Afraid the song is not obvious to me Mark

Sympathy For The Devil is as far as I can go at this point.

I know the song well, but the artist.....

At some points it sounds like an Aussie singer from the era - Doug Parkinson - but I don't recall him being into the the high-pitched screamin' stuff!

Definitely "Sympathy For The Devil". The artist - I know who it isn't!

Reckon it's Batman Ozzie Osbourne

My first impression was that it was David Clayton Thomas. But I have never heard him sing this song.

Me?! No idea...
To me, it sounds a bit like "Fortunate Son" by CCR, both musically and vocally... or vice versa... but i'd bet this is not John F., albeit sounds similar at times (i mean screams), and very familiar, too.

Yes, it is most certainly Sympathy for the Devil.
I'll give 45 minutes longer for artist (so you won't have to go sleep tonight not knowing).

That's unfair, Mark! Too little time, and you haven't even given hints as to if it's a UK or a US artist...

Okay, a shot without aiming: Bryan Ferry? Doesn't sound much alike, but...

sowhat · Post by **sowhat** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:21 am

...or Brian Jones?..
Not Ozzy, i suggest, albeit it would be cool if it was him...

OK, I'll give you more time.
American.
"Artist" can also mean a group, band, etc.

Skrew?..
Or are we talkin' 60s?..

More hints:
60s
USA West Coast
