(If your blogger profile actually had some content behind it, I might not have made the gender mistake...my apologies! But then, has perhaps "dude" become gender-neutral?)Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-22803130936082745982008-12-29T15:37:00.000-06:002008-12-29T15:37:00.000-06:00Is it just me or should the girls from Bananarama ...Is it just me or should the girls from Bananarama have been on a poster for eating disorders? <BR/><BR/>Check out the following video on youtube to see Rossi in action-<BR/><BR/>"Status Quo-Hold you Back 1986"<BR/><BR/>I can find tons of him with a ponytail, but not braided.

The resemblance is definitely there. I should have investigated further. Did you find a photo of him with his hair done up in a ponytail, like the fellow in the video has? If so, that would clinch it.Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-59974409454256633232008-12-29T15:06:00.000-06:002008-12-29T15:06:00.000-06:00You are right.

Midge is wearing a grayish shirt with front pockets, and he's in the booth at 1:46 in the recording, singing harmony at 2:06 and putting his headphones on at 2:38.<BR/><BR/>But I think I've solved your mystery. I pulled a list up of the artists that were involved and eliminated all the females (including Boy George...grin)and artists that I already knew and then ran the remaining ones through google images.<BR/><BR/>*drumroll*<BR/><BR/>It's Francis Rossi of "Status Quo". His online pics sport that long hair and sideburns, not to mention his adorable "ham" personality. He also seemed to like to wear a suit or at least a dress shirt and a vest when performing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving me a mystery to solve while enduring a day in bed with the flu!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082068095401531576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-53766866224148008962008-12-29T13:54:00.000-06:002008-12-29T13:54:00.000-06:00Thanks for the guesses, Quin.

It could be Chris Cross; checking the photos I can find online, there is some resemblance there.Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-7031618858012882992008-12-29T11:11:00.000-06:002008-12-29T11:11:00.000-06:00I'll go out on a limb and guess either Chris Cross...I'll go out on a limb and guess either Chris Cross (Allen) of the band Ultravox or Midge Ure.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082068095401531576noreply@blogger.com
