The "An Artist Once" and "A Song Once" Game

[Solitaire1]

It's time for another game. I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as the last game.

The rules are simple:

- Post one song by one artist/act (videos are encouraged but not required)

- Each artist/act can only be used one time.

- Each song can only be used one time. Other versions of the same song by other artists/acts are not eligible.

- Added (13 Jan 2020): Please include the name of the song and the artist/act in the text of the post. This will help everyone identify which songs and artists/acts have already been used.

- Added (13 Jan 2020): If you mention two or more artists and/or acts in a post (such as in the case of a duet) both are no longer eligible in future posts.

- Added (13 Jan 2020): If two or more different songs have the same name but are different songs, each can be used but it must be confirmed that they are different songs.

- Added (13 Jan 2020): Different versions of the same act can be used as long as they have different names.

- Added (16 Jan 2020): Individuals who were former members of a band can also be used as solo artists. As an example, each member of The Beatles can also be used as a solo artist. Likewise, members of one band to form a new band or join an existing band can also be used with the band. As an example (mentioned by another poster), George Harrison can be posted as a member of The Beatles, as a solo artist, and as a member of The Traveling Wilburys.

- Added (13 Jan 2020): Parodies of songs may be used as long as they are significantly different from the original song and the parody has a different name.

- Winning The Game: The game will continue until no one has made a valid post for 5 full days (if the last post is on a Monday, Tuesday is the first full day, Wednesday is the second full day, and so on). This will give everyone adequate time to post. After the 5th full day without a valid post, the last person who made a valid post will be the winner.

I will start with: "I Need To Be In Love" by the Carpenters (my favorite song):

Note: By the above rules both the Carpenters and the song "I Need To Be In Love" are no longer eligible for future posts in this thread.

What about bands with artists who go solo? Are they considered separate acts, allowing both to be posted?

Ex: Beatles --> John Lennon

What about solo artists or artists who leave bands to form anther band? Are they considered separate acts, allowing all of the artists and the bands to be posted?

Ex: Beatles --> George Harrison --> Traveling Wilburys

Thanks
