Ask a question of how 2 bands or 2 singers are connected.

 

Maximum 2 questions at a time please.

 

If nobody gets the answers after 4 days then post the answers

 

Two to start you off.

 

Can anyone remember the connection between these two bands - Rainbow and Whitesnake?

 

Also what is the connection between Small Faces and The Herd?

Cozy Powell was a member of both bands; or Deep Purple: Ritchie Blackmore formed Rainbow after leaving Deep Purple & David Coverdale formed Whitesnake after leaving Deep Purple.

 

Humble Pie: Formed by formerSmall Faces' Steve Marriott & former The Herd's Peter Frampton.

You beat me to it, I was going for both ex-members of Deep Purple...............

 

and Humble Pie formed by ex member of Herd- Frampton & Small Faces- Marriott.

 

 

 

Would be more difficult if we did this without googling it, what do people think?

 

But then again it is retro, for us who are no longer teenagers :lol: We should have the knowledge, but maybe not the memories :lol:

 

 

tbh my knowlege ...or should i say my memory, is starting to fail. for eg i totally forgot that it was the byrds that david crosby was in.... (pop quiz question)

Well I googled and got the connection (well that's what it's there for!). But it would be cheating to post!

The connection is keyboard player Blue Weaver.

He was keyboard player with Amen Corner - when they split he joined Andy Fairweather-Low's new band Fairweather (they had 1 top 20 hit in 1970 with Natural Sinner).

They had a flop follow-up and then split.

Blue Weaver then went on to replace Rick Wakeman in The Strawbs (remember Part Of The Union) when Rick joined Yes.

Later Blue joined the Bee Gees backing band.

 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!
