RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #144 (GOLQ144) Congratulations to Barry Silk and team for another fine first-place performance. The Delphi Trivia Club was hot on their heels, followed by single-entrant high scorer Jamie Lubin. Team Asia, Antonio Torralba and team, Really Rockin' In Boston, The Gypsy's Caravan, and Ron & Sally Crandall were also members of the 400 Club. The mean and median scores were 301.2 and 315, respectively. Clearly recordings #01-#04 and #17-#20 were the tough ranges to crack, and my use of "alternate" artists confused many, but overall everyone did better than I'd predicted. Thanks to everyone who participated. Hope you had as good a time as I did! Howard has already posted GOLQ145.

This was the popular Columbia Records artist's final charted hit, but he is still recording 30 years later. Honest you do Honest you do Honest you do Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa You-ou-ou-ou thrill me I know you you you you thrill me Darlin', you-ou-ou-ou thrill me Honest you do #02) Brewer, Teresa: "You Send Me" (1957/58) [8] {-} An immediate cover with the same words (and almost exact phrasing) as sung in Sam Cooke's original recording. "Cooke," however, doesn't fit alphabetically here. As a reminder, may I call your attention to Section 8 of the GOLQ Rules: If a song has been issued as a recording with the given lyrics by more than one artist, and those recordings all fit the criteria for being on the quiz, then a correct response is one whose artist fits alphabetically between the artists of the adjoining actual answers. If you don't know which artist fits alphabetically because you have not identified the adjoining artists, you may include multiple artists in your entry, but you are guaranteed full credit only if you include an alphabetically appropriate artist. Thus, for example, here full artist credit (10 points) was given for the artist answer "Teresa Brewer" or even the response "Sam Cooke or Teresa Brewer." However, the artist answer "Sam Cooke" got no points - a misfortune befalling over half of all entrants. Sorry - I feel your pain. Well, I never knew I could want you, darlin', oh so much Now that you're gone, I dream of you and your sweet touch #03) Cline, Patsy: "So Wrong" (1962) [85] {-} Written by Carl Perkins. Backing vocals by the Jordanaires, with Floyd Cramer on piano. You're the object of my affections And if you have no objections I'd like to love you night and day #04) Cole, Nat "King", and the Four Knights: "If I May" (1955) [8] {-} The Four Knights were a North Carolina vocal group. Don't take this heaven from one If you must cling to someone Now and forever #05) Everett, Betty & Jerry Butler: "Let It Be Me" (1964) [5] {n/c} Originally a French song. First a hit for Jill Corey with Jimmy Carroll in 1957 and then The Everly Brothers in 1960. Both of these artists were alphabetically acceptable, so received full artist credit. I'll dry my eyes and comb my hair And I'll pretend you're never there Now you're gone the breezes blow so sadly You never could understand the love I wanted so badly #06) Faithfull, Marianne: "Go Away From My World" (1965) [89] {-} Her final charted hit. My love seems to grow There isn't any end to my devotion It's deeper, dear, by far than any ocean #07) Four Freshmen, The: "Day By Day" (1955) [72] {-} Originally a hit for several artists, including Frank Sinatra, in 1946. I'd put so much love where there is sorrow I'd put joy where there's never been love Then I'd give my love to you For you to keep for the rest of your life Oh, and happiness would surely be ours And that would be all right #08) Gaye, Marvin & Tammi Terrell: "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" (1967/68) [10] {2} One of their 11 pop chart collaborations. Terrell collapsed in Gaye's arms during a 1967 concert and died three years later of a brain tumor, not yet 25 years old. Gaye did not perform for months after her death. I'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I love to be free #09) Gore, Lesley: "You Don't Own Me" (1963/64) [2] {n/c} The New York City area native's first four singles (this was the fourth) all made top-5 on the pop chart, but never again - despite her many singles - would she have a top-10 hit. Wanna see my honey Wanna see her bad She's the best gal this poor boy ever had #10) Grammer, Billy: "Gotta Travel On" (1958/59) [4] {14} The country singer's only top-40 hit was based on a 19th century British tune. Throw in undependable, too Do my foolish alibis bore you? Well, I'm not too clever I just adore you #11) Jones, Jack: "Call Me Irresponsible" (1963) [75] {-} His second pop single, from the movie "Papa's Delicate Condition," starring Jackie Gleason. It won Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn the Academy Award for Best Song in 1963. Jones himself won the Best Male Vocal Performance Grammy in 1963, but for his ensuing single, "Wives And Lovers." (He'd won the same award in 1961 for his very first single, "Lollipops And Roses.") I gave my heart so easily I cast aside my pride But when you fell for someone else, baby I broke up all inside #12) Jones, Tom: "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (1967,1969) [6] {-} Only reached #49 on its first release in 1967, but two years later it fared much better on the heels of the successful "Love Me Tonight." Coasters: Same melody as Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra's "Wanderin'" (#11 in 1950). How's your father? How's your mother? How's your sister? How's your brother? How's your brand new limousine? 24-inch TV screen? #13) Kinks, The: "Mr. Pleasant" (1967) [80] {-} Written by Ray Davies. Oh, pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray Oh, pretty baby, now that I've found you, stay And let me love you, baby Let me love you I want you to want me I need you so badly I can't think of anything but you #14) Lettermen, The: "Goin' Out Of My Head/Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (1967/68) [7] {-} The Lettermen forged this medley out of alternating portions of Frankie Valli's #2 1967 hit "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (above lines 1-4) and Little Anthony and the Imperials' #6 1964/65 hit "Goin' Out Of My Head" (above lines 5-6). Sorry, no artist credit given for either Little Anthony and the Imperials or Frankie Valli. I did give half song credit for naming only one of the two medley songs. May old acquaintance be remembered And your cup of kindness filled #15) McGuire Sisters, The: "May You Always" (1959) [11] {-} Christine, Dorothy, and Phyllis had more than 30 charted hits from 1954 to 1961. Don't wanna stay here Don't wanna spend another day here Though I wanna split now I can't quit now #16) Miracles, The: "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (1962/63) [8] {1} Written and produced by Smokey Robinson. It's on the album "The Fabulous Miracles," Motown's first album to make the pop album charts. Team Teitelbaum: The Beatles recorded a cover version in '63. All you got to realize, baby Is day by day I love you more (I find no faults in you) But I can criticize #17) Moody Blues, The: "From The Bottom Of My Heart (I Love You)" (1965) [93] {-} Their follow-up to "Go Now!" Sung by Denny Laine, later of Paul McCartney's group Wings. This song was included in the quiz to be a real stumper; it was! Headin' down to the drug store to get a soda pop Throw a nickel in the juke box, then we start to rock #18) Nelson, Ricky: "Waitin' In School" (1957/58) [18] {12} One of his 17 top-20 hits while still in his teens. Coasters: B-side of "Stood Up." This song is being played as John Travolta's and Uma Thurman's characters enter the retro burger joint in the movie "Pulp Fiction." L'Equipe: With the great James Burton on lead guitar. Can't you forget that other love you knew? Within your angel eyes A world of dreams are there Yet I keep wondering If they are mine to share Oh, it's just not fair #19) Pitney, Gene: "Half Heaven - Half Heartache" (1962/63) [12] {-} From the album "Only Love Can Break A Heart." We'll take a little sunshine One loving cup Just a little sunshine And divide it up We'll have sweet tomorrows #20) Reeves, Martha, & the Vandellas: "(We've Got) Honey Love" (1969) [56] {27} Martha's last name got added to the group's title in 1967. Baby, the sun's light will be dim And it won't matter anyhow If morning's echo says we've sinned Well, it was what I wanted now #21) Rush, Merrilee, & the Turnabouts: "Angel Of The Morning" (1968) [7] {-} Reached #4 when redone by Juice Newton in 1981. Joe Haertel of Barry Silk et al.: Written by Chip Taylor, who also wrote "Wild Thing." And where it's gonna stop I'm sure nobody knows (Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) It gets a little wider (Nobody knows) Oh, it gets a little stronger (Hey, hey, hey) The feeling from each kiss, baby (Hey, hey, hey) Oh, it lasts a little longer, yeah #22) Temptations, The: "It's Growing" (1965) [18] {3} The fade-out lyrics to their follow-up single to "My Girl." Written and produced by Smokey Robinson. You get enough germs to catch pneumonia #23) Warwick, Dionne: "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (1969/70) [6] {17} "... When you do, he'll never phone ya!" B-side: "What The World Needs Now Is Love." Both sides are Burt Bacharach-Hal David compositions. No, not the same song as #12 above! Warwick earned the Best Contemporary Vocal Performance Grammy in 1970 for the album "I'll Never Fall In Love Again." Really Rockin' in Boston: Nice cover by Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach on the "Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me" soundtrack. Jessica Raine: From Bacharach and David's only stage musical, "Promises, Promises." Live free and beauty surrounds you The world still astounds you each time you look at a star #24) Williams, Roger: "Born Free" (1966/67) [7] {-} Omaha-born, Juilliard-educated pianist William's version of the title song from the movie about Elsa the Kenyan lioness. The song won the Academy Award for Best Song (Matt Monro sang the film version, but his recording only reached #126). There were many incorrect guesses of Andy Williams here; sorry - Andy never hit the pop charts with this song. I'm looking for someone who's not make-believe And doesn't mind giving so that she may receive There must be somebody somewhere around That's looking for someone to give pound for pound #25) Wilson, Jackie: "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend" (1960) [15] {1} #1 for 4 weeks on Billboard's R&B chart. The flip side of "(You Were Made For) All My Love," which reached #12. ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ From 5 o'clock in the early evening 'Til 6 o'clock in the early morning I could squeeze you Will all of my might If I can love ya 'Til the broad daylight #T1) Brown, Ruth: "It's Love Baby (24 Hours A Day)" (1955) [-] {4} One of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer's 19 top-10 R&B hits in the 50s. Also #2 for Louis Brooks & His Hi-Toppers and #10 for The Midnighters in 1955. This was unsolvable except for The Gypsy's Caravan's successfully naming the artist. I'm not talkin' about your pigtails But I'm talkin' 'bout your sex appeal I hit the road and I'm gone What's my number? #T2) Simon & Garfunkel: "Baby Driver" (1969) [101] {-} B-side of "The Boxer." Both recordings are from the album "Bridge Over Troubled Water," The Grammys' Album Of The Year in 1970. Team Teitelbaum: Don't know if the rest of the song is autobiographical, but the opening line, "My daddy was the family bassman," refers to Paul's father, Lou Simon, who was a session bass player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recog- nized.

Answers ---- ---- ---- ------- 1. "It's just entertainment, and the kids who like to identify their youthful high spirits with a solid beat are thus possibly avoiding other pursuits that could be harmful to them." - Bill Haley (although several guesses of Alan Freed were certainly good ones) 2. "It's generally thought that I discovered Diana Ross and the Supremes. Strictly speaking, that's not quite true. They discovered me." - Berry Gordy, Jr. (commenting on the Primettes' - soon to be Supremes - persistence in signing a deal with his newly-formed Motown) 3. "Audiences are very much like the kids at Tommy's Holiday Camp. They want something without working for it." - Pete "I smash guitars because I like them" Townshend 4. "Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me." - Elvis "The Pelvis" Presley, justifying his shocking (for the 50s) movements 5. "It took people like Elvis to open the door for this kind of music, and I thank God for Elvis Presley." - Little Richard 6. "What's kept me going is the same thing that got me to write 'Surfin' all those years ago. I wanted to write joyful music that made other people feel good. Music that helps and heals, because I believe that music is God's voice." - Brian Wilson (upon The Beach Boys' induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame) 7. "We like this kind of music. Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes." - Charles Hardin "Buddy" Holly 8. "Art Tatum - he was a genius. And Einstein. Not me." - Ray Charles 9. (Commenting on her group's big hit:) "Though we were starting to have definite confusion in different cities, I think the writers were inspired mainly because of this to try and get people to dance and be happy rather than riot." - Martha Reeves (of Martha & the Vandellas, on the subject of the 1964 Marvin Gaye-William Stevenson composition "Dancing In The Street") 10. (In response to the recording session producer's offer, "If there's anything you don't like, tell me, and we'll try and do something about it.":) "Well, for a start, I don't like your tie." - George Harrison (responding to producer George Martin during The Beatles' first EMI recording session) Congratulations to The Coasters, The EJ's & Co., Oldtunes, and Team Teitelbaum, who all identified 5 or more quotes, and especially Ron & Sally Crandall, who got an impressive 9 of 10. Some final rock 'n' roll-related quotes: "I was raised in the Bronx ... you could say I was forced up." - Dion "Pop music is sex, and you have to hit them in the face with it." - Rolling Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham "Let's face it, rock and roll is bigger than all of us." - Disk jockey Alan Freed ______________________________________________________________________________ -- Bob Bluestein
