It really Helps when you get the artist right

Have you ever listen to a song on radio and automatically assumed it was one artist/group when it was another.?

For instance up to recently I thought "Natural High" was sang by the Delfonics and I went to practically every record shop looking for the song and of course it was proving difficcult to find. lol I later found out it was by Bloodstone and that did help finding the record. biggrin

giggle It helps when you're looking through 45s and find the right song title. You could be walking out with the wrong song! eek

There are many songs that people assume are by one artist but are actually by another. Two examples I see all the time:
"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks, not Alanis Morrissette
"I Swear" by All 4 One, not Boys II Men

How bout a story from yesterday at work.

I had the speakerphone on while I was on hold... the music was "Don't Get Me Wrong"

My co-worker (the one who switched my David Bowie with his DMX cd) says "Hey, who sings this?"

I'm like, "The Pretenders" cool

He's like.... "No! The Pretenders are TWO GUYS!" confused




Me: " neutral You're thinking of The Proclaimers..."

I remember during the 70s when I was very young and there was so little RnB/Soul groups that were really well known in the UK. I thought;
"The Best of My Love" by the Emotions, "Sweet Dreamer" by the Sweet Inspirations and even Prince's "I wanna Be Your Lover" were by the Jacksons/J5. lol Talk about Ignorance being bliss..
