If Arnold had not entered, it is unquestionable that we would be talking about the two time winner Chris Dickerson. When he won it was announced to a chorus of boos from the audience. Arnold had only decided to compete the day before the tournament. There are many who feel that Chris was screwed out of the 1980 tournament, which was won by Arnold and is widely regarded as the most controversial win in the tournament’s history. Not only was Chris the first openly gay Mr Olympia, he was also its oldest winner.
Though Chris only won one tournament (1982) and is perhaps not as well known as some of the other more illustrious names, he absolutely deserves to be on this list. It just means that in this author’s humble opinion they are the best winner of Mr Olympia. Just because the winners are in this order, it does not necessarily mean that number 1 is a better bodybuilder or person than number 8. We will also look into other factors that make the individual stand out.Īs with all lists of this type, this is based on personal opinion and is therefore subject to much debate. Instead it will look into several different factors, yes number of wins is important, but we will also look at what the winner did for Bodybuilding, and whether they achieved mainstream popularity. In this article we will be assessing the top ten winners of the prestigious Mr Olympia Title, this won’t be a straightforward “ who won the most” articles. It has been running since 1965 and was first won by Larry Scott, who also won the 1966 contest before retiring.īut with all due respects to Larry Scott, the competition really kicked off in 1967 when it was won by Sergio Olivia.

I especially can hear her in the lyrics "I swear there ain't no Heaven and I pray there ain't no Hell, but I'll never know by livin' only by dyin' will tell." Then she passed away but her music lives on. Laura Nyro - she had an album out, lots of good tunes, "Stone Soul Picnic, Eli's Coming" and more. I like their treatment of the song better, not as dreamy. The Bellamy Bros do a decent conversion of Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic". Glenn Campbell's signature tune is almost equal to John Hartford's original. I like the You-tube vid of "She's Not There". Acoustic 12-string, I think.Īnother cover band so great you'd never call them that - Santana. We Five did something similar with Ian and Sylvia Tyson's "You were On My Mind". The Byrds turned Dylan's folk tunes into folk rock hits, thanks partly to the Rickenbacker electric 12-string, but also better vocals with harmony. She is very well rounded, booth as a performer and as a person. I could easily give you 100 others which were recorded in the last 20 years or so that are every bit as good as if not better than the originals.Įxperience is what you gain when the results aren't what you were expecting.ĭolly has written hundreds of songs. It's impossible for this group to make a bad recording! To me, this is even better than the original!įoxes and Fossils: all their stuff is excellent, if you've never heard them before start out with Dedicated to the One I Love and Mr. The Swing Dolls with the Ten West Orchestra: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, I'm certain the Andrews Sisters would approve. They figured out how the Beachboys did it and duplicated the multi track recording process perfectly. Both covers of the Beachboys, and every bit as good as the originals. The Fendertones: Do You Want To Dance, and Shut Down. You can find all the ones I'll list here on youtube and watch/listen. There are plenty of covers of originals every bit as good as the originals, and some are even better.
Here are a few that will quickly change your mind.
