Artists Mentioned In Reunion's "Life Is A Rock"

An ad hoc group of studio musicians (including Joey Levine) got together in 1974 and recorded this fun song.  Along with mentioning many songs, disc jockeys and record companies, the lyrics include mentions of the following artists:


Archies
David Bowie
Brenda and the Tabulations
Bonnie Bramlett
B.B. Bumble and the Stingers
J.J. Cale
Johnny Cash
Ray Charles Singers
Clapton
Sam Cooke
John Denver
Doris Day
Dr. John
Fats Domino
Duane Eddy
Lesley Gore
Dale Hawkins
Jay Hawkins
Ronnie Hawkins
Ides of March
Lonnie Mack
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Mungo Jerry
KISS
Harry Nilsson
Donny Osmond
Osmond Brothers
Peter, Paul & Mary
Wilson Pickett
Pock
Righteous Brothers
Johnny Rivers
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Rolling Stones
Leon Russell
Carly Simon
Joanie Summers
Steely Dan
Johnny Thunders
Ritchie Valens
Edgar Winter
Link Wray
ZZ Top

So, you say, if a song mentions all of those artists, plus record labels, disco jockeys and songs, it has to be about five or six minutes, right?  They recorded it in 3:19, which is part of what makes it fun, although the album version (featured here) is longer and includes more references:

Beatles
Aretha Franklin
Albert King
B.B. King
Freddie King
Randy Newman
Freda Payne
Simon & Garfunkel
Conway Twitty
Bobby Vee
War
