I'll also add Howard Jones to this group, born Feb 1955. I was astounded to see how young Sexton is. -- nm - Max Oct 19, 12:10 5
- That was easy ... he was known as a prodigy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:11
- Seriously? That was the easy one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:10 3
  - I knew he was the youngest, but 1968? That makes him 16 when he got his hit. I thought only Debbie Gibson was that young. -- nm - Max Oct 19, 12:12 2
    - Yup. SRV assisted him. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:14
    - he was the Johnny Lang of the 80s. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:13
(also, Beat So Lonely isn't on the actual SKOW soundtrack release) -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 12:08 3
- right. "prominently featured within the movie." -- nm - Max Oct 19, 12:09 2
  - "on the Some Kind of Wonderful Soundtrack" - hachiko Oct 19, 12:11 1
    - yes, um, on the sound track as opposed to on screen -- nm - Max, grasping for straws Oct 19, 12:13
Mentioned Carrack's former band helps. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:07 1
- Er. "ing" -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:07
Yes! -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:07
My dumbness showing....I know 2 of those. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 12:06 6
- I knew all but the last two off the top of my head, but remembered them after googling. -- nm - Stephen Oct 19, 12:10
- you are difficult. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 12:07 3
  - Nah, I'm just not a music guy unless it's everywhere. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 12:08 2
    - true, it's not as if you didn't recognize Bruce Springsteen. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:09 1
      - Yeah, I'd have to be a real dumbass to not know a Br.....oh. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 12:10
- I don't know Carrack. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:07
your dates confuse me. - Andie Oct 19, 12:05 2
- birthdates? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 12:05 1
  - ooooooooh, then that would make sense. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 12:07
I could understand someone not knowing Robbie Nevil. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 12:05 14
- Nevil was ubiquitous on the radio there for a while. -- nm - David Oct 19, 12:14
- *disagrees* Kershaw -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:09 12
  - i saw him in *concert*. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 12:13
  - wouldn't it be good - hachiko Oct 19, 12:12 10
    - They are all easy, just saying he was least. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:12 9
      - I dunno, his song was just redone recently by some pop princess? - groiny Oct 19, 12:13 8
        
        I liked Nevil, so I am biased. C'est La Vie, Dominoes, What's It To Ya, Back On Holiday. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:16 2
        
        I liked What's it to ya better than any of those others. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 12:17 1
        
        Agreed. - Spawn Oct 19, 12:19
        
        YM Gwen Stefani? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:15 4
        
        this is what I was thinking of. nmbl -- (link) - groiny Oct 19, 12:19 [youtube]
        
        she did "It's My Life". i dont' think she covered Kershaw. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 12:17
        
        I don't think so. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 12:16 1
        
        oh, I was thinking of It's My Life. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 12:21
i think your dates are a little off -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 12:05
