Subject: A pictorial quiz - Paul is the winner !
Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 09/10/06 at 11:37 pm
Hi
Dunno how well this will work given I find it hard to get here regularly - but I will do my best !
Here are some pics of someone you know, or at least, have heard of (unless you have lived in a cave) ;D
Thing is, they were taken when the singer were sort of young...and they look different than those of you who know them would have been used to. I had never even seen this person look this way.
So - here are the pictures - the question is - WHO is it ?
I will come back to look at your guesses. If no-one gets it I was thinking of making it a yes/no quiz, that is, ask a question which can be answered by a yes or no answer - in the end someone will work it out !
Good luck ! :)

It DOES look like Ray Davies, that is a good guess. It is a wrong guess, but a good one ;D
You have the time period correct however ;)

Damn ! Also wrong but that was the other likely face that was going through my head ! :) Good try W-Dog !
The thing to bear in mind here is that the person didn't look like this when they became 'better known' shall we say.... ;)

Billy had big success here in Canada with "Over the Rainbow" in '65. I know him best though for "In My Room" which made it into the Top 40 in 1981. I have his album "East of Eden's Gate" :)

In all honesty I do not know - it was supposedly done live but is obviously lip synching - there is nothing in the background in the clip to suggest what show it is
