Shall we wait for Bob to return and confirm a correct answer, or should I just go on with an incredibly-easy one, and re-visit Bob's if necessary?

I answered my own question.... Go for it, guys, it's easy-peasy!

 

 

We have a WINNAH!

 

 

When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

Yep, it was a stretch and way to obvious so I had something else in mind.

This country sound came from someone who had a tremendous influence on him, even though he really never knew him.

His signature look came as a result of hiding something.

 

We'll, this one too, was not the song I was thinking of.

This famous rock and roll oldie has been recorded by many artists, including one that died shortly thereafter, and another version who the songwriter approved the first changes ever, memorializing a schoolhouse shooting, killing both children and teacher.

I personally have several things in common with this original writer and singer I'll reveal once correct. Pop too!

 

Stairway to Heaven

 

Drew,

See Post #875.

Pop

 

Okay to help bump...

So this entertainer, as a stout republican has created such a controversial position as to have a major media source, eliminate a very popular tune off of their broadcasts.

 

Bump#2...

This songwriter and singer was criticized many times by his grass root followers after he picked up and performed with an electric guitar.

A nice feature on CBS This Morning today.
