After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

Yes Wot -- Elvis

Now, don't just guess - he recorded hundreds of songs, and this is not a well know one, sorry if I'm muddying the waters for you.

I suppose you could describe this singer as the King of the Road

Yes, it was that, wot but I am sure that was at number one so it can't be that.

King of the Road is what Elegran means?

Not HGTWWIHH --- you won't guess the song, you need to narrow the field down.

Ana, we cover a lot of songs from this singer.

I may have set this too difficult so from now on I will only dock you for wrong answers.

Ukeleles might cover that one where two guitars are competing, but I can't remember its name.

Elegran, not sure where you are going with that, this singer would have washed his hands of songs like that.

I'll be kind and ignore that question

The cigarette stubs were short, and not too big around. (That isn't another question, it is what I should have added to my last one)

Now what Country song would a bunch of ukelele players be likely to cover...? Hmm - no idea!

not Don Williams

The singer had many styles mainly country, blues, pop, ballads.

Does it involve cigarette stubs?

You also know it was a country song , it does have a blues theme to the lyrics

Hi Ana, should be getting dinner but I'll either help or hinder for a short while. Sadly my knowledge of Country singers is almost zero, only know the most famous.

Did this American singer also have hits in another music genre?

No, that was the Beatles.

Get the singer
You have the date it was written
It was on an album which must be after it was written
2 others recorded it before the most well known version
