Song or Artist with a number or ordinal number

[Bigboote]

Robert Johnson, for sure, and have you heard Barbeque Bob (Hicks) He was a slide guitar bluesman and, yes, a cook from Georgia. Good stuff!

Brilliant. I'd never heard of him.

I had to find a Bbq Bob song with a "number" but the rest of is album is really good too. I've played my CD again and again over the years. Check out the others on YouTube. Here's another seldom heard 20's guitarist Blind Willie Johnson...yes another Johnson. The video here from 1927 is terrific too. (Sorry, but 1927 is a number, please excuse my OT violation)

This group was the bomb in my high school days and trigged a spate of copycat "girl bands".

You know you're for real when you go live at the Apollo and it's well received. Great lead vocal by Gioia Bruno.

On the theme of all-female groups ...

This takes me back to those sophomore year dances that were an odd mix of fun and awkward.

Another great oldie but goodie. I was in middle school when this came out.

 

[Ozimoto]

A very pretty song.



From the album "First Take" so somewhat of a twofer.

I was thinking about this song. Never posted it.

Here's a great piece of space-cadet music from Eno.

Great! Something for my outdoor Halloween display. How did you find this? And not know Barbeque Bob?

I've owned the album, since it came out in 1978. I think I own everything Eno did before the mid-80's. It's no accident that he's a Knight of the Realm since he (paraphrasing Miles Davis describing himself) changed the course of music two or three times.

I did ask my brother, a blues afficianado (I'm a prog rock/folk guy/Eurometal guy) about Barbecue Bob, and he's heard of him but hadn't heard anything by him. He enjoyed the song you linked and was gonna look up more stuff by him.

I was pretty indifferent to Hall and Oates back at that time, but I've grown to appreciate them since.

I checked my cd racks for a Brian Eno cd I remember having, without luck, but I did find my Deuter and Jean-Michel Jarre cds among the Windham Hill group. 40 years ago! Yikes. This was one of my first and favorites...

From the legendary Egyptian chanteuse Umm Kulthum.

Song title translates as "A Thousand and One Nights".

Without looking back thru the thread, there have probably been a few classical pieces. Almost limitless options with ordinal numbers (Beethoven's 5th, etc.). Here's something, not the full piece, just the finale. Kaboom!

To be honest, I have some difficulty in appreciating Near Eastern music. Perhaps Amr Diab, and Anoushka from Egypt or Turkey's Suzen Aksu are easier to listen to, but others are unfamiliar to me. Maybe I should explore more artists, to be fair. One singer from Israel does have a voice I like, Chava Alberstein, is pretty well known in Europe. This song is very moving, if you listen to the translation, or speak Yiddish. It's worth a listen. She introduces it in English. (Sorry for OT misstep)

Here’s another Israeli band with a song that technically meets the thread title:

I had to reach way back in the memory banks for this one:

Here's Frank Zappa's and Captain Beefheart's tribute to the US bicentennial:

With the latest unfortunate death I was reminded of one of my favorites my band played in college:
