Very good scores were turned in by the (Ron) Crandalls, the Schuberts, team Teitelbaum & w/o Jamie featuring Terry & Lynne. Team Dorin & team (Norm) Crandall had good scores as well. In addition, team Dorin were the only team to identify song #04. Some of you identified a couple of my "threads," but this time I used a lot of them (probably too many). Every song, including tiebreakers, was identified by at least one entrant. Thanks to all who entered. Ron Crandall, fresh out of semi-retirement, will post GOLQ39 on 2/18/93.

The Blues Brothers (Saturday Night Live's John Belushi & Dan Ackroyd) did a slavishly imitative cover of this tune #14 in '78/'79. They got Steve Cropper & "Duck" Dunn to back them, as on the original, & Belushi even inter- jected "Play it, Steve!" at the same point in the song. There was also an instrumental cover by Ramsey Lewis #49 in '67] [Rick mentioned that this peaked at #1 on the R&B charts] [5th song in the quiz with "soul" in the title/lyrics & 3rd song in the quiz with "soul" in the title which also peaked at chart position #2 in 1967] What happened to that funny face My little tomboy now wears satins and lace #20) Neil Sedaka: "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" (61/62) [6] [Lynne Hellmers, of the w/o Jamie team, reported that Neil appeared last weekend at the Claridge in Atlantic City] [song performed by Neil last month at the Inauguration in Washington, D.C.

Smith: "Little Green Apples" (68) [2] [Howard said there were 2 other charted versions in '68: Roger Miller #39 & Patti Page #96 (her last charted record)] [Don Fausett & Phil added that O.C. Smith covered Roger Miller's version] [Rick pointed out that it peaked at #2 on the R&B charts] [4th song in the quiz with a fruit in the title/lyrics/artist & 7th song in the quiz with "big" or "little" in the title/lyrics/artist] Has a kiss so sweet It knocks me off my feet She makes my life complete Who has my mind in a kind of a haze?

Couldn't accept Frankie Laine as Rick pointed out that his version hit #4 in 1947] [Rick added that in 1947, it hit #2 for Sammy Kaye, #10 for Martha Tilton & #13 for Woody Herman. The Flamingos did it in '53. The last 2 lines of the Dion & The Belmonts version are: To feel the warmth of your lips Pressing on mine (whoa whoa whoa whoa) Since I was unaware of the possible differences between the Channels' & Dion & The Belmonts' versions, I still accepted either group as valid] [in honor of Valentine's Day, 6th song in the quiz with "love" in the title/ lyrics] Well I ain't teasin' (talk to me baby) You better stop your freezin' (alright mama) If you want-a romancin' (okay sugar) You better learn some dancin' (mm-mm-mm-mm) #TB2) Etta James: "The Wallflower" (55) [Ron noted that it was an answer song to "Work With Me Annie" by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters] [Rick added that the Henry was Hank Ballard & that the male part was sung by Richard Berry with background vocals by The Peaches; this version was played in the movie "Sister Act": it was the 1st song Whoopi Goldberg played on the juke box when the nuns went into the bar.
