No. Steve Perry of Journey was famous at the end of the 70s, too. Perry joined Journey as their lead singer at the end of '77. He was the lead singer on the "Infinity" (Jan '78) and "Evolution" (Mar '79) albums and would certainly been considered a celebrity by the close of the decade.
No, he was one of the hardest. I took a punt that it might be him. Nor did I recognise Carson. They were not well known outside the US in the 70s, although Dangerfield did achieve international fame later.
Maybe Nixon’s VP who became President could be replaced by the other president of the 1970s so that quizzers don’t get two answers right with one guess.
People have to stop making ridiculous comments like this, I swear. If you know Elton John's birth name, then how would you not figure out the answer? You recognize his picture and say "That's Reginald Dwight. Oh, no THAT'S not working, what do I do now?!!" lol Do you get how dumb that sounds?
His known, famous name is Elton John. The character in that picture IS ELTON JOHN.
Be honest with yourself. What do you get out of nitpicking like this on Jetpunk? If you think it makes you sound smart, boy are you mistaken!
Agreed--and that's not a crime, even if the joke misfires. On a related topic, that photo of Stevland Morris must predate the 70s, before cornrows and all that.
That is NOT his ACTUAL name!!! It is his birth name. He legally changed his name in Jan '72. While his first hit single, "Your Song" was released in '70, it was released on his eponymous "Elton John" album as he was already using that name. I, therefore, submit that Reginald Dwight was never a celebrity in the 1970s... or any succeeding decade. Elton John was... and is.
I agree - I was furious (furious, I tell you) that it wouldn't accept Leslie King for Gerald Ford. So angry that I went outside and told everybody, "Gerald Ford's ACTUAL name was Leslie Lynch King!" And nobody cared.
I was sure to see Pierre Richard and didn't understand how I may have misspelled the name. It actually was Gene Wilder, but they looked very much alike.
Not the only similarity in this quiz...
