Name groups/singers that changed their names I was looking in the Aurra thread and I remembered they were later called Deja. For a little while, Carlos Santana went under the name "Devadip Carlos Santana". Here are a few more examples:
The Moments - Ray, Goodman, & Brown The Jazz Crusaders - The Crusaders The Time - The Original 7ven Terrence Trent D'Arby - Sananda Maitreya The Primettes - The Supremes - Diana Ross & The Supremes - The Supremes Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship - Starship Santana Blues Band - Santana Johnny Cougar - John Cougar - John Cougar Mellencamp - John Mellencamp

Well, that was the idea, but threads get changed all the time here. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
