Musician Photo ID Needed

 
 
Reply Fri 24 Mar, 2006 06:57 pm
I have a photo with four 70's musicians - I can ID three, but the fourth has me stumped; I know, but the name is just beyond my mental reach (senior moment).

E-mail me at [email protected] and I will forward the picture for your assistance.

Thank you!

Just think about for awhile, then leave it. It'll come to you. We all have senior moments - they're usually temporary.

It's an e-mail attachment, and...gulp... I don't know how.

If someone wants to offer explicit instructions for a technologically-challenged individual, I'd be glad to.

c.i. Haven't you noticed though, that the more senior that we get, the less temporary the senior moments! Sad

I haven't seen the pic but my guess is it's Dave Van Ronk.

Is the guy on the left Crosby of Crosby Stills and Nash?

Don't think it's Crosby or Croce (but...?)

The other three are 70's singer-songwriters, I'm trying that as a lead.

Ooh, I think it might be Gordon Lightfoot!!

I looked at 'em side-by-side, not a bad match at all. (I recognized the name Gordon Lightfoot but wouldn't have been able to venture a guess at what he looks like, so I'm just going by pics.)

http://www.akh.se/lightfoot/2237.jpg

Similarities:

The hair (curly, perm-y)
The mustache
The straight-across eyebrows
Distance from eyebrows to hairline
Cheekbones
Width of face
Length, width, and straightness of nose

Plus, I found him by looking for a list of 70's singer/ songwriters, on which all the other guys in the pic appeared (a list of 12 or so).

I couldn't find a picture of Gordon laughing/ grinning (and couldn't make 2Packs' link work, maybe that is one), but stuff seems to line up really well.

Ticomaya votes for Gordon, too, on the other thread (the pic tutorial), with this for emphasis/ proof (the four of them did a benefit together):

(Don't question a portraitist on similarities between pics! Laughing)

Well, my response to the berm was:

John Denver-Harry Chapin--(not certain)--Robin Williams.

Sorry, but I didn't check out Jes' link. Somehow, I couldn't find a picture of Gordon Lightfoot that resembled any of that quartet.
