:shrug:

 

I don't know the current singer/songwriters

Well she's been singing awhile, and she sang backup on tour with MJ back in the eighties, so it's not some really young person. I guess what I mean is that she is a current artist.

:hmm: Sheryl Crow?

Yup!

Now, who was the first act born in the 60s to have a number one hit in the US?

 

:hmm: Marie Osmond? Nah... can't be... if she's my age then she was born in 1959.

 

No, it's not Marie Osmond. Another clue: though her song was perched atop the Hot 100, preventing a fivesome from scoring their first (which by the way would have been their only) number one song, this group managed to block her and her band on the Billboard 200 with an album whose title is similar to a Celine Dion hit minus an S. :msn-wink:

Kim Wilde born November 18, 1960 had a number 1 hit.

but strictly from a first one to have a number one hit and be born during the 1960s, that would have been Whitney Houston, born in 1963 who was the first of those born during the sixties to hit the top of the charts... and yes I did look up this information by going year by year (1970 - 1994) through the list of #1 songs and verifying year of birth.

Well, Kim Wilde did have a number one single in 1987 with "You Keep Me Hangin' On", and Whitney Houston is technically the first SOLO act to be born in the 60s and hit number one in the 80s, but as credited vocalist, she's not the first act that did it. There are two more, and they got full credit on the songs they took to the top. ;)

Well whoever they are they had to have been born between January 1, 1960 and November 17, 1960 if you are talking with respect to earliest date of birth. And you have specified that you were talking about a female... Edited by celinedionsfan

The youngest was, and the other was born in 1963. ;)

I give up... I have gone through the list again and can't find the answer.

Whitney Houston first hit number one on October 26, 1985 with "Saving All My Love For You." Prior to her, George Michael (born in 1963) was credited as a featured artist on Wham!'s number 1 "Careless Whisper," which hit the top in February 1985. Now regarding my previous clue: "though her song was perched atop the Hot 100, preventing a fivesome from scoring their first (which by the way would have been their only) number one song, this group managed to block her and her band on the Billboard 200 with an album whose title is similar to a Celine Dion hit minus an S", it was Joan Jett (born 9/22/1960) with her group the Blackhearts who hit number 1 with "I Love Rock & Roll" in 1982, preventing the Go Go's "We Got The Beat" from hitting pole position. Their album was "Beauty And The Beat." :) Edited by luisma4

But Joan Jett was NOT born in the 60's and that was part of your clue about the 1st act born in the 60s, was it not?!

:unsure: so you don't count 1960 as part of the 60s? :unsure:

Not when more than one place lists her year of birth as 1958!

:wacko: How weird! I just looked at Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles book to verify and he lists her birthdate as 9/22/60. :wacko: Wikipedia lists it as 9/22/58. Mmmmmm

Internet Movie database also lists the year as 1958 :hmm: indeed!

 

So you got your question from looking at books?!

 

Oh say it ain't so... cause all the questions I've asked have been things that I know and really do remember... not things I look up!!! And I know that Steve and Brenda are both asking questions about what they know and remember!! If you've been looking up information and then asking questions, then you're really not playing fair!

 

After all... this is the I REMEMBER... topic not the "Let's Look stuff up and ask questions about it" topic!!

Yeah! :blink: I'm looking at my Top Pop Albums book and it also lists it as 9/22/60. And every site I look up on the Internet lists it as 1958. :wacko:

Let's forget about Joan Jett and call it a tie. LOL :thumbsup2:

No I haven't. I am an avid music fan and collector. I just did it for reference. I'm sorry that I made you mad, I was here just to have some fun.

You didn't make me mad... I just wanted to be sure we were all playing the same way... from our memories because otherwise... I don't think it is as much fun... Edited by celinedionsfan

Yeah, it's easy to just look up things on Google or IMDB but it's more fun if you just try to remember it, even though at times this can be difficult! :laugh:

 

This group started in the late sixties, had most of their success in the 70's, had a few hits in the eighties and still tours. Their lead singer left in the early eighties for a solo career and had several hits on his own at that time, some as duets with female singers.

One interesting fact about them was that their album titles, to this day, have been named, in order, by numbers from when they began their career. The name of the band is also part of the title. Their main guitar player died in the late 70's or early eighties. :hmm:

Wow, I would not have thought that someone would have guessed Zeppelin, but I could see how you'd think that with my clues.

 

The main lead singer who left and had some successful hits in the eighties sang the theme song for the movie "The Karate Kid." I've never heard much from him nowadays. It's an American band and they have a lot of musicians.

Joe esposito? what band was he in?

I'll give you a BIG hint. The name of the band is also the name of a major American city!
