Richard Harris sang the first version that I ever heard, Diana....a fabulous song!

Sue gets the brownie points!  Yes it is a great song but I only like the version done by Richard Harris. It's interesting though that I can't find that version anywhere, not even on i-TunesFrown

Ah don't worry, I'll soon have you all thinking/writing my way and then we'll need a translator to translate what we all say! Does that make any sense? Maybe not, but hey two glasses of weak wine and I'm anybody's....hic!

From a posting a bit back--I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock & Roll. I'd say it was Dave Edmunds.

A posting further back---ref: Marc Bolan.  His made up surname was from which music idol of his?  While you ponder that---i have a recording of a group playing in Germany called The Beat Brothers backing Tony Sheridan. Who were they better known as?

 Pink Floyd is named after 2 blues guitarists. Which ones?

Which year did Jimi Hendrix perform in Newbury, Berkshire?

Who took the micky out of The Shadows, recording "Cry For A Shadow"?

Hello Paul, I don't think I've ever welcomed you...Welcome!  I lOVE your avatar! What a great pic.  Unfortunately, I am not a Pink Floyd or a Jimi Hendrix fan so I can't even harbor a guess.  I don't even know what "micky out of The Shadows" meansEmbarassed  must be before my time. LOL!

Hi Diana, and thank you for your welcome. Apologies for Cockney rhyming slang accidentally appearing in one of my questions. In full---taking the mickey bliss---means to mock someone; in this case, a style of guitar sound of Hank Marvin and The Shadows who backed Cliff Richard, similar band to The Ventures or Tornadoes in the US a bit later on.

 I've only heard the song Diana by it's original writer/performer, Paul Anka. Not to give my age away, but it made No.1 in the UK charts in 1957--though I was very young, though heard it on US radio stations at the time.

The 2 blues guitarists were Americans, as the US blues was having a big influence in early--mid '60s pop music here when Pink Floyd, and other bands, were formed.

Glad you liked my avatar. Paul.

It'll be amended--by popular demand it seems--as soon as I can get rid of my little squirrel who seems quite persistant he doesn't want to go!
