You’re good, Johnny. My dad was in the music business and I absorbed a lot just from being around him. And I knew that Harry Chapin did in fact do a sequel to Taxi, but for the life of me I could not remember the title.
I am suitably impressed and I thank you for getting that “worm” outta my mind.
Hank Ballard and the Midnighters and Etta James (W/ Harvey Fuqua) had a back and forth thing going in the 50’s.
The Midnighters recorded “Work with me Annie” and Etta answered with “Dance with me Henry (The Wallflower)” the Midnighters then recorded “Henry’s Got Flat Feet.” They also recorded “Annie had a Baby” not clearly a response, but definitely a sequel.
There was a sequel to “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” called “The Devil Comes Back To Georgia.” It featured Johnny Cash and Travis Tritt on vocals and Charlie Daniels on fiddle.
Daniels also recorded a loose sequel to “Uneasy Rider” called “Uneasy Rider '88.” In it, the protagonist and friend make an ill-fated visit to a gay bar.
Marty Robbins followed his hit El Paso, a first person ballad about a cowboy with a doomed love “for the Mexican maiden” in “Rose’s Cantina”, with a sequel, El Paso City, in which the narrator is in a plane contemplating whether he is the reincarnation of the man from El Paso.
“Leslie Anne Levine” is a sequel to “We Both Go Down Together” (both by the Decemberists), according to the band. “Leslie Anne Levine” was written (or at least recorded) first, though.
