You're very likely right about the Shirelles as I had a suspicion the Beatles had picked it up from someone else as a number of their early songs were. You're right of course about Paul Anka; an early Canadian singer/songwriter who did very well. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA	Posted at 03:41 on 27th July 2008 I didn't know he was Canadian, Paul. Which reminds me, one of my all time favorites is the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Do you know who did that one? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK	Posted at 03:55 on 27th July 2008 I think Paul Anka came from Ottawa, Ont. I think Lorne Greene was a Canadian radio announcer before he got slightly more famous as Ben Cartwight. Gordon Lightfoot, another. I know the name of the song Ruth, but can't recall who did it; I shall ponder then kick myself when I remember.... Or another---who played the guitar solos on early Beach Boy records; Stood in for 6 months on a tour with them as a Beach Boy too, then became quite famous in his own right---clue Ruth; think of Arizona towns in one of his songs later.

Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK	Posted at 04:02 on 27th July 2008 Your Canadian clue cracked it Ruth--Gordon Lightfoot --though my favourite of his has to be Sundown or Early Morning Rain in 2nd place. I think the most famous Canadian voice must be HAL in 2001? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Wasn't Dick Dale, was it Paul? I know he was famous for that surfer guitar sound. But I don't know. As for Arizona towns, I can only think of 3 songs that have AZ towns - By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Route 66 and Take It Easy. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Was around the time of Dick Dale but he was a session guitarist in L.A, and ended up on those early Beach boys records. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Winona and Kingman are in AZ too, Paul. Haven't a clue, Paul on the Beach Boys. It couldn't have been Glen Campbell. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK	Posted at 04:46 on 27th July 2008 It couldn't have been Glenn Campbell--but your right; it was actually, before he became famous in his own right and toured with them for about 6 months on stage earlier.
