And the Light Bulb Comes ON!

Having been born in 1947 and growing up in the 50's, 60's and 70's I listened to a lot of, what is now known as classic rock n' roll.But I just listened to it not paying much attention to who the group was or who was in it, except for a few. Now I spend a lot of time at answers.com checking on people who's name rings a bell. I learned, along with many others, that a lot of the mega stars of today started out as members of other bands and groups many years ago. Some were studio musicians and song writers for others and a few recorded their own material.
This blurb was triggered by Creature's finding out some history about Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly. Some others with an interesting history are: Kris Kristopherson, Paul Anka, Roger Miller, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson. If you check out the history of many recording artists you may find some surprises linking song writers and performers.

Later.....
