quaver= a musical trill

Who wrote Jackie Wilsons First solo hit, "Lonely Teardrops"?

Thanks Dys, I still had to go to Webster's for trill. Sarah Vaughn, was the master of that.

Jackie Wilson wrote it himself , I think

Nope...hint; Very prominent name, but not a singer

Mr Motown- Berry Gordy

Which group sang these words and the name of the song please ?

" When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
One... Two... Three... Four "

Way to go Hiama!

Well, sheeze, Boo. Way to go where? No one has answered hiama's question on that "one to three four" song yet. All I can thing of is "Land of a Thousand Dances' ...La, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la One two three four.

Well he finally answer my question, so I don't feel like such a meanie. As for his...I haven't a clue.

Boo, hiama is an illusive wizard. Don't you know that by now? What author wrote this:

In the Desert

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter", he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

Only Bo knows.

All the Fine Young Cannibals ?

WRONG! laughin' my arse off here....

I guess by now, you know I can't resist those openings.

Resist, Boo. Resist. Now had you ask me to sing St.Louis Blues on my other thread, I could have done it with or without T.S. Eliot--with a bang and not with a whimper?

We give Letty, you've stumped us.

Stephen Crane, Boo. He's best known for his novel The Red Badge of Courage. Few people realize what an awesome poet he was.
