in the meantime Wolf---Aaron Copland was an American classical composer. Which '70s band incoporated some of his work in their own music, and had a hit with one of his compositions?  Which band was it, and what was the name of this particular hit?  Plus Copland's other composition used that also sounded very good on their LP?

Sorry Paul, you got me there!Surprised

The group was Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Their Copland-written hit was Fanfare For The Common Man, and also they recorded his Hoedown which is, in my opinion, far better then his original version.

I didn't now that Lyn. I always thought Meatloaf was a sandwich short of a picnic, but I love his 'Bat out of Hell'

I hear Gary Glitter is about to be released, and I don't mean his music.

Dear old Freddie Mercury.

Actually I watched a documentary on him and Kenny Everett and it wasn't nice. But he did have a great voice.

I love the Bee Gees.

And ladies, have you ever heard of Emily Mitchelle? Great voice, sings and plays the harp.
