Identify Rare Early 80's Song From Melody Only

Identify Rare Early 80's Song From Melody Only

Postby Phiterk » Wed Jul 31, 2019 2:55 pm

Hi Everyone,

I've been searching for this song for years and I only have the melody which I have reconstructed here with a synth lead: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

It's either late 70's or early 80' which I had on 45 back then. I vaguely remember the vocals sounding like a "Jon Anderson" but it's definitely not Yes. May have the word "Doctor" in the title or verse. it's one of those obscure songs that may have charted at that time.

Thanks,

Mark

if you haven't found the title yet it's "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" by Jon and Vangelis. So you were right with Jon Anderson.

YESSSSSSSSSS! Finally, someone got it! I pulled that melody from memory 38 years ago and somehow remembered the Jon Anderson voice. Never heard it anywhere since.

A massive THANK YOU to frndofo for solving this mystery!
