Someone mentioned Ed Ames. How many of you out there know that he was the original voice to Eyore in Whinnie The Pooh?
I just found out last year.
How about first "serious" music acts? I think that would have to be Fleetwood Mac and the song "Dreams",as well as the whole 1977,"Rumors" LP itself. My brother owned it but I listened to it (didn;t understand much of it) but I liked it.
I later found out that "Dreams" was the top song on my birthday in '77. Second serious would be The Police & then Tears For Fears in 1985.
