Same Name, Different Noise

The best part of a year ago I had a bright idea for a series. Now I'm not very reliable when it comes to keeping series going, so I thought I would pitch my idea to the acknowledged King of Series, Charity Chic, to see if he fancied picking it up. The Great Man politely declined, so I left it at that.

Until yesterday that is, when I found myself completely lacking in any inspiration for today's post and I decided to dust the idea off. This may or may not turn into a regular feature, who can tell? Not me that's for sure.

Anyway the idea was a simple one - two different acts with identical names. We'll have a double bill today just in case this turns out to be your lot. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you two Chords and the truth - or at least the truth as our pair of Willie Williamses see it. 

"Maybe Tomorrow" - The Chords

"Sh-Boom" - The Chords

"Ease Up The Pressure" - Willie Williams

"The Baa-Baa Song" - Willie Williams

Here are one of The Chords appearing on the UK's premier music show of the early 1980s.

    1. I'm sure that can't be true, not with your extensive collection

  2. I am on the case, and was momentarily excited when I discovered a soul singer by the name of June Sims,.... and was hoping that the Carry On actress by the same name had made a record or two.....

    1. No, identical performing names required, not given names.

      Having gone through my nerdy catalogue yesterday I reckon I have about 50-60 pairs. That said, for many of them I have just one track backed up on a CDR years ago that would take months to find. Eliminating those, maybe plus or minus 25
