THAT'S AN IMIMPRESSIVE LIST MY FRIEND,BUT DID YOU READ THE QUESTION?

By Ralph (209.240.198.62) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 09:52 am:

R&B,
I'm not even sure what you're looking for here. Care to clarify a little?

By R&B (138.238.41.118) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 10:06 am:

CERTAINLY RALPH,MY QUESTION WAS,IS THERE ONE ARTIST THAT USES I OR I'LL AT THE START OF A SONG AS MUCH AS SMOKEY,NOT JUST SONGS BEGINNING WITH I,BUT IT'S USE BY ONE ARTIST.HOPE THAT CLARIFIES FOR YOU AND MEL.SORRY IF MY MEANING WASN'T CLEAR.

By STUBASS (152.163.188.68) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 03:29 pm:

I DON'T KNOW IF I QUITE UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC...BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SONG..."I ONLY HAVE EYE'S FOR YOU"...THATS 2 "I'S" (I AND EYE) IN ONE SONG TITLE!!!...STU

By Soul Sister (65.43.153.219) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 11:45 pm:

To R&B; Ï Can't Stand To See You Cry" I used to love that song but can't remember who sung it, please refresh my memory. Thanks, Soul Sister Or was it Ï Can't Stand To See You Go"??

By Davie Gordon (193.122.21.42) on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 09:42 am:

What's so difficult about R&B 's question - he's asking if there's any writer other than Smokey wrote so may songs written in the first person
and whose title actually starts with "I"

If we start listing any song beginning with "I" we'll end up filling all this forum's available
space.

Perhaps it would have been clearer if, for example, he'd asked for a writer who was always using the word "Honey" in song titles.

Mel i saw on your list of 45s with the I & I`ll at the start of them,i noticed you listed a 45 by
the "Thompson Bros" on "WMOT" has this 45 got this song on the flip, "You brought love into my life"?, i thought this was from the late 70s early 80s,and with this not being your era as well :-)

Dave,
no thats a different flip side,
although I will admit that the record mentioned is a 70's record worth around the 4/500 mark.
My limit is around the 1974 era or thereabouts.
cheers
mel.

By Dave Fleming (62.253.128.5) on Monday, May 05, 2003 - 02:25 pm:

Mel thanks for that,are you sure though i just found out that "I saw the light" is "WMOT"# 5353,and i`ve got down on my wants list "T.Bros-YBLIML-Wmot#5353,unless it came out twice with different flips?,only till 1974 a,your missing out on some great stuff from 74 onwards,me i collect from 60s to 2003 :-)

By MEL&THEN SOME (217.14.178.61) on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:13 am:

Dave,
I have just double checked my list and you are right about the above record.
It now has no place on my wants or any other list.
cheers
