Hello and welcome to bradx's rock n roll photoquiz #2.
Maybe a mite trickier than Monday's, I don't know. Well - actually it is - there's one chap who I don't know - and I've got the answers!.
Once again - sorry for size and quality of pics.

No prize I'm afraid - just bask in the glory.

1.


2.


3. For a bonus point - do you know this guy's real name?


4.


5.


6. Just the guy signing his contract. Don't need the other 2.


7.


8.


9. A jolly crew here. There's at least 4 famous faces in the crowd.
Can you spot any of them?


10. Ok - here's a tricky one. I don't know this guys name so you would be helping me out here if you can get it. I know who he played with though - what band did he play in?

Shit, a LOT trickier. I knew most of the last ones but this...wild guess at Nr. 1 being Link Wray ?

1 - Marvin Rainwater
2 -the Fleetwoods
3 - Conway Twitty[Harold Jenkins]
Bonus: Do you know who was the first artist of hit records to change his name to a combination of 2 texas towns?

No - not Link Wray... good guess though.

Yeah - it is a bit harder. The last one was all done in about an hour though - so this is a tester. I reckon Duckpin will come in and mop up B)

1. yes - Marvin Rainwater. Great artist... 'Boo Hoo' is an alltime classic.

2. Not Fleetwoods, no.

3. Correct - yes Conway Twitty/Harold Jenkins - not such a great name for a rocker. He was rockin before he went into country anyway. No - I don't know who else put pins into a map? Who was it? Buddy Holly?

5 - Flamingos[?]\
7 - Del Shannon
8 - Platters

5. No - not Flamingoes. This is tricky one imo. There's a trick in the photo anyway (clue!)

7. Yes - Del Shannon
8. Yes - The Platters

Doing well DP

Correct so far
1. Marvin Rainwater
3. Conway Twitty/Harold Jenkins
7. Del Shannon
8. The Platters

Is 2 Ted Heath - I believe he had an orchestra!

{Bit before my time, all this! :( }


Edited - No 4 not No2 ! :banghead:

6 The Big Bopper. Another guess but he seems to fit the chunky type.

2. Not Ted Heath, no. (or did you mean 4 ...as that is the big band/orch?)

Yes - sorry - it is a bit ancient.

6 - Johnny Burnett?

9. Is that the young Franz Kafka in front ?

6. Not the Big Bopper now (although he was in the last one). That guy is one of the all time greatest ever rockers.... (bit early for clues but never mind) :rollover:

Sorry, meant No 4 - Ted Heath.

I'm wrong I suppose! :ohdear:

6. Johnny Burnette. As I was just saying - one of the greatest ever rockers. Pity he sold out abit in his later career. His early stuff still does it for me.

9. Franz Kafka :lol:

4. Not Ted Heath no - this lot made only one big hit I think (off the top of my head like).. .it still gets played today but like on TV ads n stuff.

btw - 4 and 9 are UK ...

# 5 - post McPhatter, pre Ben E King Drifters?

9. Cliff Richard standing behind Franz ?

No 9 - chap with black tie - is it Billy Fury?

9. Johnny Ray right in back (behind Cliff) ?

5. The Drifters (+ their pianist) ... that was the tricky bit
well done DP

1. Marvin Rainwater
3. Conway Twitty/Harold Jenkins
5. The Drifters + pianist
7. Del Shannon
8. The Platters

Billy Fury is the one behind the guy with white/shirt black tie. No ? And not Johnny Ray. :wacko:

No - sorry!

There's 4 famous names here. All uk. Not all are musicians. Ummm... one is better known for something else - although he did have hit records.

no.9 - Sorry - no Cliff's, Furys or Rays in sight!

The answer to my poser: This guy from New York nasalized his voice, picked two Texas towns, had[maybe]the first ever million seller: Vernon Dalhart - sorry don't know his real name

9. Jim Dale in the middle?

Other than that, I ain't got a bloody clue about the rest.
Cool pix again, bradx! B) :beer:

Born 'Marion Try Slaughter' - no wonder he changed his name :blink:

Adam Faith - the one I thought was Fury (black tie, No 9) ?

9. Jim Dale, white shirt black tie ?

Oh, he's just read mine! :rolleyes:

:lol:

#2 - the Teddy Bears [?]

no.9 - yes Jim Dale in the black tie. Well done sir!
The other famous ones are 2nd from left (the black guy)
the guy on Jim Dale's right
and
the guy in the glasses

thanks bradx - I'll try and remember that!

DID NOT, YOU CHEAT !

Anyway glasses in 9. Liberace.

Yes - The Teddy Bears - with Phil Spector lookin runty on the right. Well done.

So far then it's
1. Marvin Rainwater
2. The Teddy Bears
3. Conway Twitty. Harold Jenkins
5. The Drifters + pianist
6. Johnny Burnette
7. Del Shannon
8. The Platters
9. a. Jim Dale (3 others to get - the black guy, the guy on Jim Dale's right and the next to him with the glasses)

please give an acoounting of the ones needing answers

:lol:

What's wrong with #10? He's got tiny legs! :o

you put it in before I got on - Thanks!

We are after - 4, 9 (3 more to get in that photo - but hard for you DP as they are UK) and no.10

10 has got tiny legs - I don't know his name... I would like to know.
What band did he play for? Really hard question - but you will enjoy the rest of the photo when you see it. its a good shot of a classic old time rock n roll outfit - looking quite contemporary in some ways.

I think you've answered it right there BK :lol:
