GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #254 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (year[s]) [peak Pop] {peak R&B}
where "peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#01) Ray Anthony: "Peter Gunn" (1959) [8] {12}
#02) LaVern Baker: "I Can't Love You Enough" (1956) [22] {7}
#03) Big Brother And the Holding Company: "Down On Me" (1968) [43] {-}
#04) Andrea Carroll: "It Hurts To Be Sixteen" (1963) [45] {-}
For the week of 7/20/1963, the Chiffons were on the charts twice. Once
as uncredited backup singers on this song, as also as The Four Pennies
for #09 below.
#05) Dave Clark Five: "Because" (1964) [3] {-}
HT: Lead singer & keyboardist Mike Smith died several weeks before the
group's induction into the R&R HoF. He'd been almost entirely
paralyzed since a fall in 2003. Sax/harmonica player Denny Payton
died in Dec. 2006. The remaining 3 members - drummer Dave Clark,
bassist Rick Huxley, and guitarist Lenny Davidson, were in attendance
at the ceremony.
#06) Eddie Cooley And the Dimples: "Priscilla" (1956) [20] {-}
#07) Dyke And The Blazers: "We Got More Soul" (1969) [35] {7}
#08) Adam Faith With the Roulettes: "It's Alright" (1965) [31] {-}
#09) Four Pennies: "My Block" (1963) [67] {-}
See #04 above.
#10) Connie Francis: "Together" (1961) [6] {-}
#11) Happenings: "Goodnight My Love" (1966) [31] {-}
#12) Brian Hyland: "Hung Up In Your Eyes" (1967) [58] {-}
#13) Betty Johnson: "I Dreamed" (1956) [9] {-}
#14) Kinks: "Sunny Afternoon" (1966) [14] {-}
#15) Little Milton: "Who's Cheating Who?" (1965) [43] {4}
#16) Marvelettes: "Don't Mess With Bill" (1966) [7] {3}
#17) Johnny Morisette: "Meet Me At The Twisting Place" (1962) [63] {18}
Written by Sam Cooke.
#18) Elvis Presley With the Jordanaires: "It Feels So Right" (1965) [55] {-}
#19) Paul Revere And the Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay:
"Don't Take It So Hard" (1968) [27] {-}
#20) Bobby Rydell: "Wild One" (1960) [2] {10}
#21) Evie Sands: "Any Way That You Want Me" (1969) [53] {-}
Written by Chip "Wild Thing" Taylor. Evie had very bad luck. She
recorded his "Angel of the Morning" for Cameo Records in 1967, and in
its first week, it became the most requested song on the radio across
the nation. However, Cameo went bankrupt that week and couldn't deliver
the 45s for sale. Months later, Merrilee Rush released her version.
This single was caught up in litigation after a promoter stole a test
recording and had another singer release a competing version.
#22) Steppenwolf: "America" (1969) [39] {-}
#23) Temptations: "Don't Let the Joneses Get You Down" (1969) [20] {2}
#24) Caterina Valente : "The Breeze and I (Andalucia)" (1955) [8] {-}
#25) Billy Williams: "Date With The Blues" (1957) [-] {-}
All entrants were given credit for this flip side of I'm Gonna Sit Right
Down etc. The song is one of a few that, for some reason, are listed in
Whitburn, but not as a charted single, therefore making it ineligible for
these quizzes.
------------
Tie-breakers:
------------
#T1) Chants: "I Don't Care" (1963) [-] {-}
Sorry, a British Invasion recording that never made it across the pond.
This song does appear on multiple CDs of lesser-known British Invasion
artists, but it is perhaps a little too obscure for this quiz.
#T2) Buddy Miles/Jimi Hendrix: "Them Changes" (1969) [-] {-}
This was a live recording from the first set of a New Year's Eve show
in San Francisco. That arguably makes it the latest and final possible
GOLQ-eligible recording available, at least as far as U.S. recordings.
Buddy Miles died just a couple of days before Mike Smith. Credit was
given to anyone whose answer included one of Buddy, Jimi or Band of
Gypsies. This song was released multiple times in seemingly multiple
variations. Buddy was also the lead vocalist for the California Raisins
Heard It Thru The Grapevine TV commercial.
