confused (calling Keith Floyd "Pink Floyd"); actually, there are some slips. Gillian Clarke has "Heartbreak Hotel on the gramophone" in 1955, but it wasn't recorded till 1956. Grace Nichols recalls Otis Redding reverberating each letter of R-E-S-P-E-C-T in 1965, which he didn't do on record (as Aretha Franklin did), only in some live shows. A poet who doesn't stumble, but who will send many readers to Google themselves, is Geoffrey Hill (1961).
