From there, everyone thought the name was so cool that somebody decided to name a band after it. That from Billboard, Oct 7, 1972. Another link I found, http://www.gluonics.com/rod-stewart/python-lee-jackson.shtml, says Stewart was just supposed to do a guide vocal at Peel's request, "To teach him how to sing it." The vocal was so good they never changed it, and Rod had forgotten about it . It was backed with "a really bad version of the Temptations' Cloud Nine, with me singing the wrong words." And apparently changed to Doin' Fine on the title. Hope that untangles it for you!CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-45503889520084044022015-06-05T15:34:59.744-04:002015-06-05T15:34:59.744-04:00I sure could have used that song today....I sure could have used that song today....CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-91729951930698280132015-06-05T15:34:34.018-04:002015-06-05T15:34:34.018-04:00Yeah, give him a big head.

However, 9 is about endings. Finishes. Completion. The getting something done number.<br /><br />I see that you shouted out about The Cardigans. Never was a big fan of Lovefool, and never heard the other song you mentioned, but I love The Cardigans. And they've gotten more play than you think, I do believe. In point of fact, they are the group on my Soundtrack post on Monday. And Wednesday. Strange, I know.

I guess I was also confused thinking that the group was actually under the helm of Lee Jackson, bass player with the group The Nice--I thought they were all the same. Now looking up on Wiki I see this is not the case. So where did the Lee Jackson part come from?<br /><br />I was going to make a joke that this group was Rod Stewart just recording under a different name, but then when I looked on Wiki I saw that was him singing on the cut you featured.<br /><br />I'm so confused now, but I was confused before so I guess everything is as it was. Arlee Bird is still Lee Jackson and Lee Jackson is still Lee Jackson and I'm still not totally sure about Python Lee Jackson.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br />Road trippin' with A to Z<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-21138245007489659912015-06-05T11:06:48.362-04:002015-06-05T11:06:48.362-04:00I used to have Godspell on cassette.

Thank goodness for Alice Cooper. :) I enjoyed hearing Python Lee Jackson featuring the distinctive lead vocal of Rod Stewart. Speaking of Aussie bands, I recently posted about Stonefield, the rock band made up of the four Findlay sisters. I love their classic Deep Purple inspired sound. Do you remember Big Pig, the Australian funk band that had a U.S. hit with "(I Can't) Breakaway"? Their edgy music video was a hit on the MTV style station where I worked.<br /><br />Thanks, Chris, and have a great weekend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
