Must be "This Masquerade" then. Would never have found it without the precise years, I know some of his other songs (without knowing who's songs they were), but not this one. Thanks for giving us this challenge, I learned about another great musician I never had an idea about. Reply #6721. Jan 17 17, 5:57 PM |

Your are right - I really like Leon's version - George's is more harmonious but Leon is the man. Saw him live in Australia in the 70s and he was fantastic... Reply #6722. Jan 17 17, 6:22 PM |

Look for one of the most iconic rock songs of the 70s. First recorded by a band, but today attributed to one member in particular. That one member is a big rock star. Reply #6723. Jan 18 17, 11:36 AM |

Guess..."Stairway to Heaven?" Reply #6724. Jan 18 17, 12:29 PM |

Sorry, not the right one... The song in question is not only iconic because of the music, but also because of the stories about it, how it was written, who it was written for and what came out of it all. Reply #6725. Jan 18 17, 3:02 PM |

Hey Jude? Reply #6726. Jan 18 17, 4:17 PM |

Sorry, no. Hey Jude was released before the 70s. And it is not Beatles song, but one Beatle is involved in the story about the song. Reply #6727. Jan 19 17, 2:04 AM |

You are correct in that George Harrison is somewhat into;bed in the story about the song. Reply #6729. Jan 19 17, 2:41 PM |

Woa! What a whimsical action by the spell checker..."into;bed" should have been "involved". :D Reply #6730. Jan 19 17, 2:43 PM |

Sorry, no. The song is not sung by George Harrison, but he and his then wife were involved in the story around the song. The song is sung by another famous British musician, who happens to be one of the best rock guitar players. And he does not belong to Dire Straits. Reply #6732. Jan 21 17, 4:17 AM |

Yes, Vee,Layla... It was written by Eric Clapton (and a friend) who was in love with Pattie Boyd, who at that time was married to George Harrison. Actually some ten songs were written about Pattie - by Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Ron Wood. Reply #6734. Jan 21 17, 4:29 PM |

Thank you. She was of course also married to Eric Clapton. This is a song from an English group. The song was a hit in the mid sixties. It's not The Beatles! Reply #6735. Jan 22 17, 7:54 AM |
