MY NAME, MY SONG
Previously Posted July 10, 2020
VA - This is My Name and This is My Song (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+ CD4 REPOST
What name did your parent(s) give you? We mostly all carry that name with pride all our lives but there are some who adopt a new name for professional or creative reasons. This compilation attempts to capture those many singer songwriters that have an entirely different stage name to their birth name. In some cases, these moniker shifts have made them became famous. There are even cases when a singer songwriter is addressed labeled as a mononym. In some cases, we don't even know their real names. To make this compilation more interesting I also included the following criteria to identify those artists.
- The artists must be a songwriter having written the chosen track.
- The track chosen must be written by an artist as a sole writer, either for self or another person's i.e., cannot be co-written.
- Tracks should be the artists first written song, either on an album or on a single, assuming a single precedes an album.
Here are 4 volumes of these artist who we may not know if we met and shared or first names. CD4 is only by a mononym's artist. Enjoy.

Wow! I don't think I could pronounce Enyas real name and wouldn't it be cool if George Michaels real name was Mickey Dolenz.
ReplyDeleteHi Dr Robert.
DeleteWhat a mix of artists and tracks by these not so famous (but extremely famous) names. Some hard to pronounce...
Lots of great music too.
Cheers.
Guess what, Dr Robert.
DeleteHis birth name was actually George Michael Dolenz Jr. (born March 8, 1945). Not Braddock as i have stated, Braddock was his stage name. My error.
Cheers.
Where did you get Micky Dolenz's real name from? His father was actor George Dolenz (Americanized form of his Slovenian real name Jure Dolenc), so Dolenz is obviously Micky's real last name (Braddock was apparently his stage name as a child actor).
ReplyDeleteHi gmortars.
DeleteI got the reference from digitaldreamdoor.com which states his real name as Braddock.
But I agree with you it was his stage name and that his real name was George Michael Dolenz Jr. (born March 8, 1945) son of actors George Dolenz and Janelle Johnson. Thanks for clearing that up.
Cheers.
