Sure. I think it was a Russian band, though. They were written up in
Time magazine shortly after the song was released, with a photo even;
maybe you could do a search though that route, but I don't know how
successful it would be...sorry.

The song is "Rasputin" by Boney M. It was apparently a huge hit
throughout most of the world (except the United States) in 1978. At
least my mom told me it was being played all over the place in Europe
that summer.
I enjoyed the song, even though the refrain was pretty sappy ("Rah,
rah, Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. Rah, rah, Rasputin,
there was a cat that really was gone..." No, I'm not making that
up...honest...)

Although, having watched a recent documentary on the man, it seems
that there was never any evidence of sexual impropriety on the part
of the Czarina, despite popular rumour. Rasputin was a religious mystic
with a reputation for his healing prowess and it was on this basis
that he garnered her affections when he successfully "treated" the
haemaphiliac heir, largely through prayer, though it was probably his
insistence that the doctors of the day be avoided and that the child
should have fresh air that was of real benefit.
Anyway, it all became too chummy in appearance and so the decorous

I would be the last person to know anything about pop-music (or music in
general, for that matter), but I am supposed to be an expert on all things
Russian here. This is "Boney M." I am pretty sure about that.
Let's try to search Web with that knowledge...

This is one of the groups I grew up to. It's all a load of pop crap, but

Oh. That must be why I was confused; I suspect the (alleged) banning was
mentioned in the article I remembered. I've never heard the song,
incidentally, which kind of surprises me since it was obviously fairly
popular.

Many followups have mentioned that this was done by Boney M, but I'd also like
to point out that Minneapolis Celtic rock-n-reelers Boiled in Lead do a great
cover of this on their newest album.

1. The song was called "By The Rivers Of Babylon".
2. It wasn't *semi*-religious; the lyrics were lifted from an
actual psalm. Don't recall which one, though.
So maybe pseudo-religious. :)

The Eric Carmen album that that song came from was a nearly perfect
bit of pop confection. I haven't been able to find it on
CD, which disappoints me. Thankfully I have two full CDs of
Scritti Politti to listen to.
My first single was "Hello, Goodbye" by the Beatles; first
album was Diana Ross & The Supremes, Greatest Hits Vol. 3.
"Someday.... We'll be together.... yes we will yes we will...."

"mr roboto"? i *loathe* that song. not only because it's styx, but
i spent most of first grade hearing taunts like "domo origato,

and the first record i bought was wham!: "make it big".
i think the first 7" i bought was "bohemian mods" by

The title of the single would be "As the Years Go By" by Mashmakhan, 1970
Sony Records (according to liner notes for Oh What a Feeling collection);
no idea what the album was called, thouggh.

Um, no, I think the title of the single would be
"In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)",
Zager & Evans, RCA Victor 74-0174. Although the
record doesn't say, if memory serves I'd guess
it was released in 1969, give or take 2 years.
This 45RPM (that's what singles were back then, BTW)
has the distinction of being the first (and only,
I think) *STEREO* 45 in the Elder's select collection.

It's simple. His mother had an 19 year gestation; and Arne made the
most of his enforced confinement.

It's that small country across the water; the one with the islands above
it.

There's that. Plenty of choice and almost-but-not-quite-legal.

First album was "Zing je moers taal". Poems by Dutch poets, set to music
by Dutch artists. First single was Pussycat's "Mississippi" (was that
ever released outside Europe?).

Gary Wright, formerly the keyboard player in Spooky Tooth (whose Big
Hit Single I can't recall the name of). I saw him open for Rick
Wakeman!

That would, likely, be ELO, Jeff Lynne's band. Unless there's another
"Evil Woman" song.

Bring back Gentle Giant! Wishbone Ash!! PFM!!! (Actually according
to alt.music.progressive, Progressive Rock never went away.)
Aside to Jess: The King Crimson "Live in Argentina" CD is great. Now
I'm sorry I missed that tour last summer. "Larks Tongue in Aspic
(Pt. II)" rocks!

Now you've gone and done it. I'm going to be trying to
remember this all day. I *think* it's "Evil Woman" but I'm not
sure.

One of the things missed so far in 70s revivals has been
progressive rock though, considering its later excesses (I mean,
the entire Yes "Relayer" album...yikes!), this may be
understandable.

There is (perhaps I don't have the title right). I think
Spooky Tooth did it first but a band named Crow also covered it.
