viewtopic.php?t=1535
Identify each one as Dead or Alive. Then take a guess on what the theme is for today. Don't overthink the theme -- if it can't be summed up in one or two words, I'll leave you a hint in the intro. Today's theme probably requires two words, but no more than that. This game will be open until Tuesday at 6 am Central time.
1. John Mellencamp
2. Rosemary Clooney
3. Perry Como
4. Tony Bennett
5. Doris Day
6. John Lennon
7. “Little Eva” Boyd
8. Paul Anka
9. Sam Cooke
10. Marvin Gaye

Unless there some more sophisticated theme regarding some aspect of pop music, in which case it's going clear over my head. Duh.

Theme: You probably want something more specific than just "singers" or "musicians", but I can't think of anything specific. I'll just say ten singers who have never been in my kitchen.

Edited to put spoiler and to say I know Sam Cooke is dead, but my fingers walked the wrong direction.

Not sure of the common link other than musicians. I'm guessing that is something much more difficult

Other than the fact that they're all singers/musicians (which sounds too simple), I have no idea....

I'm pretty sure that the answer is that they all either had or liked big wookusses.
The tip-off to me was the Doris Day clue, since Sly Stone was her boyfriend for awhile.
My fall-back position, though, is that they're all singers.
