The Rivileers / A Thousand Stars

 

None of these are literally about stars in the sky, but the word is in the title -

Tin Tin - He Wants to Be a Star
Hudson Brothers - So You are a Star
Dead or Alive - Special Star

 

Uriah Heep, Seven Stars:

 

Servants, The Sun, a Small Star:

 

Be-bop Deluxe, Quest for the Harvest of the Stars:

 

And if you think Be-bop Deluxe's effort is bombastic (it leans that way), wait until you hear this next one.

Russ Loader, Count the Stars:

Very nice,thanks. I just spent some time with
a friend who worked with Mark on one of his last cd releases and he said there was enough
material for another,so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Melanie "Stars Up There"

Radiohead - Black Star

 

Good one

 

the elegants, little star, a number one hit in 1958, if memory serves me right.

 

Stars on 45

PS, I'll be listening to most of what's been posted.

 

Never knew that! Buzz Cason as in the co-writer of "Everlasting Love"?

 

Funny that Linda Scott, whose name was ringing in my head when I saw the thread title, is already in this thread, but not for her signature song....
I've Told Every Little Star

 

Yep

 

Very cool. And it seems that this song inhabits a small galaxy of stage/pen names. It was written by Mark Anthony.
Who is really Tony Hatch.
