First right answer wins a copy of The Wizards From Kansas "Still In Kansas" LP.I'll mail, out the LP next week after the Austin dust settles. This R&B artist released LP/CD's in six different decades as a solo artist and a member of a group.[/b] If there happens to be more than one, all correct answers will win an LP.

    as far as the soundtrack question goes, the answer is no...but I also don't know if she had records throughout six decades

    Does Sinatra count? He covered 7 decades, 30's-90's.





    He's an "R&B" artist, right?

    Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee did it too from 50's-00's

    Did Ike Turner release anything in the 80's? if so I want a prize too

    just checked he released an album called "Hey Hey" on red Lightnin' in 1984

    Pretty sure James Brown's first album was 1959 so I guess he counts as well.

    Man, can you guys count?

    6 decades = 60 years.

    1950 + 60 years = 2010
  • LamontLamont 1,089 Posts
    I was thinking the same, first George Clinton 7" released in 1956 but that's still only 50 years.


    Btw Ike's real name is Izear.

    My mental calculator is near on broke but it seemed pretty clear to me that Rock didn't ask for who'd had a career lasting 60 years, just who'd recorded in six different decades:

    1950's - 1st decade
    1960's - 2nd decade
    1970's - 3rd decade
    1980's - 4th decade
    1990's - 5th decade
    2000's - 6th decade

    Yeah, that's generally the way "played/performed in XX decades"
    is calculated, arbitrary as it may seem.

    So, yes, we "can count" we are just familiar with the style.

    They do it all the time with athletes, too - a dude who played
    major league baseball in 1969 and was on a team in 1990 was
    championed as having played in "4 decades" even though it was
    only 21 years.

    Ah, ok. Now it is well defined. Just the mathematician in me acting up

    How's about Allen Touissant

    OK...I'm out the door to Austin.....the way I figure George Clinton is correct as the question read that the artist released LP's as a solo AND as a member of a group. Ike is a stretch as his stuff was solo, him and Tina and with his BACKING band....same with Aretha, Ray and Little Milton......since I'm the one giving away the free shit I get to be the judge. If anyone has made a compelling argument for someone besides Ronald Isley and George C by Monday I will certainly consider.

    Whoever said Clinton PM me your mailing address.

    Out.

    If we get more than one go then, how about Solomon Burke, 50's through to present day, mainly solo but cut a single as the Soul Clan, who then released an LP on Atco which comped the two single sides and then filled it out with solo stuff from all the members. This is about a big a stretch as can be, so I'm not expecting a prize.

    Toussaint should count as he recorded solo and as a member of the Stokes, who released several 45s on ALON, including "Whipped Cream" (which was used as the theme to the Dating Game).
