Mission Complete – Thanks everyone!
I think John Mackie got the answer before Araminta. All these people recorded the song “Blowing in the Wind”.
I have chosen this version because it was the version that I bought at the time.

Boadicea's Chariot 
2 is Miriam Makeba, 3 is Dolly Parton, and 9 is Marlene Dietrich. All of the pictures are singers or those who have sung professionally.
Mornin’ Boadicea
At first glance
3 – Dolly Parton
9 – Greta Garbo
12 – Elvis, obviously
13 – Stevie Wonder
15 – Bob Dylan
OZ
Yes, Oz, you are right. I wasn’t sure if it was Greta Garbo or Marlene Dietrich, so I went with Dietrich.
Wow! You two are quick off the mark!
So far – all right!
They are indeed, Christopher – but that’s not the answer I’m looking for!
Seems like Dietrich was a good call 🙂
#4 is bugging me. Wassername?….. Smokes cigarettes….., friend of Bogart?….
OZ
#4 – Lauren Bacall
OZ
Amendment to my confusing #4…
3. Dolly Parton – Christopher.
9. Marlene Dietrich – Christopher.
12. Elvis Presley – OZ
13. Stevie Wonder – OZ
15. Bob Dylan – OZ.
They aren’t all singers!
And not Lauren Bacall!
Erm, Boadicea, Ma’am, you may wish to have a look at the caption of #13 and then delete this comment. 🙂
OZ
Bearsy had already pointed out my error OZ – but thanks anyway!
Is #1 Arthur Miller?
OZ
11 The Boss, one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, apologies for cluttering your comments but I simply just had to 😉
No OZ!
Absolutely right – Soutie!
Boadicea, that song was 1986, I was single, living in Jhb, working for a proper company (I started my own in ’86) Hard to believe that it was 25 years ago!
G’day Boadicea
Not really here. Just logging in to thank Pseu for her advice re my condition.
But, since I’m here anyway, #5 is Marianne Faithfull.
Off for my early morning hobble to fitness before settling down to watch the Bokke play the Welsh.
I have to take my exercise this morning because we are expecting the remnants of Hurricane Katia to arrive this afternoon and there would be gale force winds blowing whichever road I was walking down.
Joan Baez’s was the best, in my opinion.
I’ll be back full time in due time.
Hi John – good to see you here, albeit temporarily!
You are right about Marianne – and I suspect you have ‘The Answer’ to my question 🙂
Look forward to your return !
#10. Bobby Darin.
Yes JW!
Yas!
I’ll take a guess and say are all these artistes appearing on a charity compilation album?
No that’s not the answer JW!
No.7 is Duke Ellington.
I think I know what they all have in common; the answer is Blowin’ in the Wind?
Oops just read the thread, and Mr Mackie seems to have answered your question. 🙂
Woke up especially to watch the Bokkies vs the sheep-botherers.
Is #14 Glen Campbell?
OZ
I know! They’ve all done time in Germany? 🙂
Yes Araminta – Duke Ellington.
You seem to be pretty good at getting my links – but I think John Mackie did get the answer first this time! I was tempted to include Peter, Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio and the Seekers – but I thought that they might be too much of a clue.
No OZ – not Glen Campbell!
And No Janus – no German link
#6 Same Cooke?
BUGGER, Sam!
Morning, Boadicea.
Yes, I do seem to be quite good at spotting links. I could attribute this to sheer genius, or my encyclopaedic knowledge of the music and film industry, but this would be dreadfully inaccurate!
The truth is I use all the various resources at my disposal, or in other words, I cheat! I do have the decency to allow others the opportunity to answer, and I certainly have no intention of revealing my devious methods, but I bet Bearsy, and a couple of others know. 😉
I shall refrain from answering your next, until the following day. 🙂
FEEG
That’s Right!
Araminta
This is supposed to be fun – and I’ve never had a problem with people ‘researching’ the answer!
2 Odett Holmes
I know, Boadicea, but I was feeling a tad guilty, I decided to ‘fess up.
Actually, I was not being entirely serious, but I just had this feeling that I’d rather be a good “researcher” than a mine of useless information about subjects of which, in reality, I know little, but are useful for the odd fun quiz. 🙂
Almost, PB. Quick, google her name before Boadicea comes back. 🙂
Odetta
Spot on PB!
Araminta
I’ve always reckoned that it’s being able to find information that’s important!
4 Judy Collins
Right again PB!
Seems to have slowed down a bit, so I will have another go. Is #8 Neil Young?
FEEG – It is!
1 Chet Atkins
Nah! that there @1 is Alfred, Batman’s butler.
OZ
There’s certainly a resemblance OZ – hair colouring’s different though and I don’t recall Alfred singing or playing a musical instrument.
Peter’s right!
14 Haven’t the foggiest!
Peter
It seems that no one else has either! I’m off to bed – if no one has got the name by tomorrow morning I’ll have to admit that I’m the only person who’s ever heard of the guy!
Having noticed that Boadicea appears to have stumped the team with this one, I decided to do a little ‘research’ of my own.
#14 is of course that very famous American rock singer, guitarist and composer who would you believe started his career with that famous American outfit The Golliwogs. Must be true Wiki says so 😉
He of course shot to fame with CCR, remember Proud Mary and Hey Tonight? The latter being a favorite during the speed sessions at my local ice rink back in the day.
After writing all that I hope my ‘research’ proves correct, so I’ll venture John Fogarty
PB of course was pretty close with his #43 🙄
Hello Soutie – should have included one of those emoticon things 😉
Peter, Soutie and Boadicea.
🙂
Time spent in reconnaissance, sorry, “research”, is seldom wasted.
Now where have I heard this before. 🙂
Hello Araminta – It was your answer at #21 that ‘gave the game away’! 😛
Sorry Boadicea. This is a bit of a tenuous cop-out if you ask me. In all likelihood all these people have at one time or another sang White Christmas or the Happy Birthday song. 🙂
I’m just peeved that even on his sick bed Mackie can beat me
Well done Soutie!
