Questions (#16): Monday, May 26, 2008

Since I will be out of town on Monday, Memorial Day, I have posted the quiz early. I shall have the answers posted late in the afternoon on Tuesday. Good Luck and have a GREAT weekend!

1) Who are Tommy Reynolds (multi-instrumentalist), Joe Carollo (bass/vocalist) and Dan Hamilton (guitar/lead vocals)?
(10 points) 10

2) In the late 1960s, Brian Wilson made friends with this influential musician. He started to write songs for him and was also going to produce him and his newly formed group until the rest of the Beach Boys revolted (they wanted all of Brian’s talents and attention for themselves). What is the name of the band that Brian was writing for that eventually went on to have 21 Top 40 hits?
(10 points) 20

3) In 1971, Donny Osmond had a Number #1 hit with his cover of “Go Away Little Girl” (and I thought it ironic since Osmond was about 10 years old). Who had the original Number #1 hit? (Hint: He was much more mature).
(10 points) 30

Did you read the news

Do you know their names

Can you play their games

And coming down a bit too hard...

4. Oops, I know this song, but version I have heard is by The Four Tops. I am going guess that the song was about Steven Tyler. The single was credited to Utopia?

Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon? I know this album was inspired by the Wizard of Oz

I have to concur with Malcolm's sentiments. This was hard! I guessed quite a bit.
