Talk:John Anderson (singer)

Untitled

Swingin' is Undeniably Anderson's "Signature Song."

Yeah, maybe, my vote goes for 'Seminole Wind'...beautiful stuff... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.127.163.203 (talk) 18:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I put that Anderson is probably most likely best-known for "Swingin'". Someone else added "Money in the Bank" and some other song to that sentence. I'd like to know the rationale for this. "Money in the Bank"???? Just HOW is John Anderson "best-known" for that lame song? And the other song, either? "Swingin'" was BY FAR his signature song. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Anyone who says otherwise most probably knows absolutely nothing about one of my favorite country singers, John Anderson. Slater79 (talk) 04:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

John Anderson is currently 54 years old and the best song ever written was by him seminole wind!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.3.236.162 (talk) 22:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I say 'Seminole Wind'. It's the ONLY song I can remember from him that used to be played on the radio in the 90's, plus it's a double platinum selling album, and 'Swingin' is not even on that album. That's enough evidence for me. Mzanime (talk) 19:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Swingin' is in fact his signature song, no disrespect to "Seminole Wind" which is also very good but if you're talking strictly 90s then his signature song for that decade is probably "Straight Tequila Night" since it brought him back to mainstream country charts after a long absence.--Lost Fugitive (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Plagiarism

I can tell, quite easily, that a couple of sentences were plagiarized, WORD-FOR-WORD, from another source. Slater79 (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
