My next quiz (whenever my turn comes up) will be an easier one for the majority of entrants. Congratulations to BARRY SILK, SCOOTER MAGRUDER & JOE HAERTEL on their victory & outstanding score. Excellent totals were achieved by the teams of JYRKI ILVA & PEKKA HALONEN, RON & SALLY CRANDALL and RICK & KATHY SCHUBERT. Special mention goes to The Gypsy's Caravan for the highest score, & a good one it was, *without* getting the theme! Thanks again to all teams/individuals who were brave enough to enter. Jyrki Ilva & Pekka Halonen have already posted GOLQ88 (due 2/27/96).

The Solitaires' version was used in the soundtrack of the movie "A Rage In Harlem."] [Howard Teitelbaum added that the Diamonds made a career out of doing white cover versions of black R&B artists' tunes] I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell She wasn't very glad to see me, that I could tell In fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too well #05) Everly Brothers: "Poor Jenny" (59) [22] [Rick Schubert mentioned that it was the B-side of Take A Message To Mary (GOLQ72); written by Boudleaux & Felice Bryant] [T.P. Uschanov added that probably to avoid moral panic, 2 versions of the song were recorded; in one, the party ended at 1 o'clock & in the other at 10 o'clock. Funnily, the former ended up on the original 45.] The world is such a wonderful place To wander through When you've got someone you love To wander along with you #06) Fabian: "This Friendly World" (59/60) [12] [Rick stated that it was from the movie (& also the B-side of) Hound Dog Man] I promise to always be true I promise to love only you So please stay with me oh my love And I-I will be ga-a-ay For time isn't really the matter at all 'Cause I know our love will never di-ie #07) Fireflies Featuring Ritchie Adams: "I Can't Say Goodbye" (60) [90] Take my arms, let them hold you (Take my love) take my eyes, let them show you I am yours my love 'til the end of tiiiiime 'Til the end ('til the end), 'til the end ('til the end) of ti-i-i-ime #08) Flamingos: "Mio Amore" (60) [74] {27} I laughed out loud when they told me That you had someone else But you're cheatin' heart has shown me That I was only foolin' myself #09) Connie Francis: "Many Tears Ago" (60/61) [7] Yeah, yeah, yeah Why don't you, you come to me when things go wrong Cling to me, whoa, and I'll be strong We can get along, we can get along #10) Etta James: "Trust In Me" (61) [30] {4} "What do you think of Vanguard one and Jupiter two?" "That was a pretty close game I thought for sure the Vanguard was going to take it" #11) Jose Jiminez: "The Astronaut (Parts 1 & 2)" (61) [19] [Ellis pointed out that it was comedian Bill Dana's Latin American character as interviewed by Don Hinckley. Dana would introduce himself: "My name Jose Jiminez; my brother's name Dennis He-Menace."] [Rick added that his real name was William Szarthmary; Team Asia, however, stated that his Hungarian last name is Szatmari] When he goes away, I'm never, no, no, no, I'm never lonely Oh, 'cause I know that he thinks of me only And no matter, no matter what my friends may say I'll keep on loving him anyway, oh yes I will #12) Theola Kilgore: "The Love Of My Man" (63) [21] {3} [Jyrki Ilva stated that Sam Cooke's manager J.W.Alexander introduced Kilgore to Ed Townsend ("For Your Love"), who suggested that she should record "Sound of My Man Working On a Chain Gang" (on Candix) as an answer to Sam's hit. Her next record was "The Love of My Man", a secular version of a gospel standard. The song was released on the Scepter subsidiary Serock, and it became her biggest hit in April 1963. After one great follow-up ("This Is My Prayer") on Serock she recorded further sides for KT (Kilgore and Townsend's own label - I believe that they were married), Mercury and some unreleased tracks for Stax. Townsend went on to produce Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" in 1973.] [written by Ed Townsend] Now another, another holds your hand And there's nothin', there's nothin' left for me And it hurts so much to see her stand Where I once used to be It breaks my heart when you walk by So near and yet so far #13) Brenda Lee: "The Grass Is Greener" (63) [17] [co-written by Barry "Who Put The Bomp..." Mann] Every single night you take me out with you (out with you) You always flirt around (flirt around) With someone new (do-do-doo-do) But I never criticize the tearful things you do (things you do) 'Cause I'm so afraid (so afraid) Of losing you (do-do-doo-do) #14) Martha & The Vandellas: "In My Lonely Room" (64) [44] Just the thought of her lips sets me afire I reminisce and I'm filled with desire But I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender How well I remember I'll always remember #15) Elvis Presley: "Such A Night" (64) [16] [Rick said that it was a #2 R&B hit for Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters in '54 (recorded 11/12/53); Dinah Washington also recorded it in that time frame; written by Lincoln "Lincoln Bo-Bincoln" Chase] [T.P. added that it was covered for the pop market by Johnnie Ray whose version was widely banned in the U.S., but hit #1 in Britain.] You've got all the boys Standing in line Tell me who do you love Girl make up your mind Make up your mind #16) Radiants: "Voice Your Choice" (64/65) [51] [At the time of this recording the Radiants consisted of Maurice McAllister, Leonard Caston and Wallace Simpson. The backing musicians included drummer Maurice White (later a member of Earth, Wind & Fire) and Sylvester Stewart (Sly Stone of the Sly & the Family Stone).] He's not so sweet And he's far from polite Hardly ever calls me And comes to pick me up late every night #17) Reparata And The Delrons: "Tommy" (65) [92] Chicks are makin' reservations for his lovin' so fine Screamin' and a-faintin', he's a-got 'em all waitin' in line Who is the coolest guy that is what am? #18) Charlie Rich: "Mohair Sam" (65) [21] [T.P. stated that his favorite version is the one made by blues star Slim Harpo in one of his last sessions before his death in 1970.] [passed away in 1995; written by Dallas "Elvira" Frazier] But I couldn't wait to get my time in I broke out, oh out the Nashville jail I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, whoa-oa now And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail #19) Johnny Rivers: "(I Washed My Hands In) Muddy Water" (66) [19] [Ellis commented that it was recorded "live" at Whisky A Go-Go & that it was a #8 C&W hit in '65 for Stonewall "Waterloo" Jackson] It's a long ride to Jacksonville No one will ever know the way I feel Will you be there, will you be there When I, when I get off the train, girl You see, you gotta be there, you gotta be there I just got to see you again, girl #20) Freddie Scott: "Are You Lonely For Me" (66/67) [39] {1} [Written and produced by Bert Berns, arranged by Gary Sherman, stated Jyrki] [#1 for 4 weeks on the R&B charts] I try everything I know, oh To make you wanna love me so, oh The only thing you do, oh Is try to put the hurt on me Can't you see what you're doin' to me? You fill my heart with a-misery With every breath and a-step I take I'm more in love with you #21) Seeds: "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" (67) [41] Now when she holds me in her arms, she sets my soul on fire And oh when my baby kiss me, my heart becomes filled with desire When she wraps her lovin' arms around me, almost drive me out of my mind I get funny little feelings inside of me, chills run up and down my spine My baby, she's alright My baby's clean out of sight #22) Soul Brothers Six: "Some Kind Of Wonderful" (67) [91] [Ellis recalled that it was written by their lead singer John Ellison. This was their only song to reach the Hot 100 & just for a week. It was also recorded by the Fantastic Johnny C, #87 in '68.] [Gregory Chambers & Ellis mentioned the Grand Funk cover which hit #3 in '75] [Rick added that it wasn't the same song as the Drifters' Some Kind Of Wonderful (GOLQ50)] I want so much to be The only love you see I fail each time I try To look good in your eyes, uh-huh #23) Frankie Valli: "I Make A Fool Of Myself" (67) [18] [written by Bob Crewe & Bob Gaudio] The warmer your kiss, the deeper you touch me, baby The deeper your touch, the more you thrill me-e-e It's more than I can stand Girl, when you hold my hand I feel so grand that I could cry-y-y #24) Jackie Wilson: "I Get The Sweetest Feeling" (68) [34] {12} [Jyrki noted that it was a top ten hit in the UK when reissued in 1972.] [co-written by Van "The Hustle" McCoy] Smiles from the heart of a family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream vacation And Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, and she can #25) Winstons: "Love Of The Common People" (69) [54] [Ellis pointed out that this was the last of just 2 Hot 100 songs for this Washington, D.C. soul septet. Also recorded by Paul Young in '94] [Team Oldtunes added that it was on a Waylon Jennings album circa '67] Tie-breakers: Oh, come on o-o-over (wah ooh) I want you to hold me tight Please ki-iss me baby (wah ooh) And make me know how much you lo-o-ove me-e (wah ooh) #T1) Channels: "My Love For You Will Never Die" (57) Let me forget her, don't mention her name You know it brings back that old burnin' flame It hurts to know that she don't feel the same My head is spinning (spinning, spinning), goin' 'round and 'round ('round and 'round) My head is spinning (spinning, spinning), goin' 'round and 'round ('round and 'round) #T2) Spiders: "Witchcraft" (55/56) {5} [an Elvis cover hit #32 in '63; written by Dave Bartholomew] _______________________________________________________________________________ My theme was that song #s 1-25 were in chronological order as to the dates they entered the pop charts.
