    I had to do some research. I didn't know that was Eddie Cochran (duh) and am clueless on Jane's Addiction
    1. Eddie Cochran -- Summertime Blues
    2. Mungo Jerry -- In The Summertime
    3. Jane's Addiction -- Summertime Rolls

    If someone else had them without research you can take it away.

    I first saw Jane's Addiction as headliners for The Rolling Stones in '89.
    They do a wicked cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and they also had bit parts in the movie "Point Break".
    You're welcome :D

    An easy one to start the weekend.

    Number one on the Top Ten at Noon on 105.7 KOKZ from 1971.

    Sunrise + knock * 3 = [band/song]

    Correct. It's hard to believe that was way back in 1971. I would have guessed at least 1975.

    The great days of AM radio.

    Not native + 32 degrees (and lower) = artist / song

    Different, but Same:
    Two Artists , One Song:

    Name the two artists labeled in 1. and 2.
    then name different song, of the same name, that each recorded

    1. Bradys' Butcher + Chef
    2. Sun King + Powerful Bicep
    3. "Huh? One Fantastic Orb."

    Sam Cooke & Louis Armstrong -- What A Wonderful World

    I heard something, but I'm not sure where, saying Armstrong's name was pronounced Lew-Iss and not Lew-ee. I didn't know that.

    3-way Mash-up (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs. Good luck and no wagering...
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and the Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    1. The Beatles
    2. Minnie Ripperton
    3. Joe Cocker

    I had to look at my Beatles collection to find their song, believe it or not. I suppose the other two artists were less prolific.
