I haven't got a clue Julie but will be interested to see if anyone comes up with the answer.

Julie, I can remember someone was a telephone engineer but can't remember who it was:))

Yes Yes Yes.

I know nothing about him, but my best friend (who has generally horrific taste in everything) is a fan.

JIM CROCE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH 22 YEARS AGO, BUT HIS FAME ONLY GREW
Before releasing his first solo album, on ABC Records, Croce had been a telephone lineman, a truck driver, a construction worker, and an inner-city schoolteacher -- a background that powered his folk-flavored story-songs.


Double whammy -- a musician who died in a plane crash.

We could play "name a musician who died in a plane crash" ...


So -- was that he??


Uh ... oh. That was "22 years ago today" ... on September, 20, 1995.

So I guess he wasn't a singer in the 80s.

Wichita Lineman!

Oh, right, NOT looking for the song about a telephone man.

Was Glen Campbell a telephone man? No.1 tells me he was actually a respected session musician ... I learn these things on the chesterfield, most recently as we watch Elvis Costello do his interview show thing. Last up: Diana Krall. Canadian. Blee Ach. At least Céline Dion can sing a bit.

Wayne Fontana was a telephone engineer before he became famous.
...but this was before the 1980's

It wasn't Paul Young was it?

n...............stay off 13

yep Marion well done...............

Ray,Busby...............I remember the "twit" so well......................

Rosi...Have just look on Google and nothing saying he was.

Meri Wilson?


I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky do, shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin':
"Hey baby, put a phone in for me"
Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door, singin':

"Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...I've never done anything like this before!

From: "David Hayman"

This one was going round my head. Merri Wilson
