Tonight’s mystery artist when they appeared on the tonight show with Johnny Carson in 1987 both Johnny and the band leader got dressed up like the band. Think you know what they were wearing or who the band was??


Well I’ll give you a hint by telling you what they put on, that would be a hat, fake beards and sunglasses. Therefore any classic rock fan worth their salt knows the band was ZZ Top. When they appearance on the show they were backed by the show's in-house big band, led by bandleader Doc Severinsen, who wore a ZZ Top-style beard for the occasion, and Johnny donned matching ZZ Top-style sunglasses and hat. They performed their only single from the album Fandango ‘Tush’ a song that has no only brought the boys fame but that has been covered by Iron Maiden, Nazareth, Whitesnake, Joan Jett and Kenny Chesney to name just a few.
Here is tonight’s featured song.
