I Had No Idea…
- The Five Stairsteps included a woman and she sang the first verse of O-o-h Child. I thought that was a guy…
- I thought that the lead singer for the Shocking Blue was a guy, too.
- Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s father was a member of the Main Ingredient.
- Kenny G. was a member of the Love Unlimited Orchestra. I thought he was an accountant.
The Five Stairsteps – O-o-h child
The Shocking Blue – Venus
The Main Ingredient – Everybody Plays The Fool
Love Unlimited Orchestra – Love’s Theme
Another tidbit about Shocking Blue is I think none of the band spoke a word of English at the time they recorded this song; I’m pretty sure it was sung phonetically. Did I imagine that or is that well known?!
I have heard the same thing.
