could it be joe cocker?

[sportsnut]

it is indeed from that quiz judge nutmeg i cannot run marathons or anything like that so every since my grand daughter was born about 3 months prematurely 10 years ago i have tried to do this very testing quiz with friends and family sponsoring me per answer for charity so if the only draw back to that is making my self look a clown in your eyes its a small price to pay and yes i will no doubt be back looking for more help before fridays deadline

des o,connor. careless hands 1968 ,the skye boat song 1986 . good luck with quiz !

[sportsnut]

nice shout holly but his first top 10 hit has to be in 1969 so not des

[rockyracoon]

Johnny Cash's first UK top ten was in 1969, I can't find anything for the 80's though

I have put David Bowie for this, hoping the setter has made a mistake and overlooked his '93 hit. I have read one or two articles that state his last top 10 hit was in '86, and the setter may have read these.

thanks curly chris but the quiz is a hard taskmaster and it is very rare that the questions are wrongly phrased but its getting near to guessing time thanks again i was starting to feel like billy no mates
