First in with all the right answers was the man who is “The “Win” in Winogradsky Mr, Steve “Win” ogradsky! following Steve was the ever accurate Mr. Jeffery Conroy! Wrapping things up was the feverishly fast Mr. Fred Vogel! Way to go gents one and all!
But now it’s time for the brand new SMS Trivia Quiz for Tuesday Oct. 11th! Take a look at these seven Mega hit song titles:

5) “Up On The Roof”
6) “One Fine Day”
7) “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”
There you go, 7 huge hits from the Sixties that we all know like our own names! but, here’s the drill, one of the title’s shouldn’t be included on this list, yes all the songs listed share a huge common element except one!

Additionally, once you’ve identified the title that doesn’t belong, add a title of your own choice that does qualify to be on the list!

Hey Mark!
Of course I know who Susan Allanson is! In fact I may have seen you playing with her! I have a very dear friend, Clint Holmes who performed a number of shows with Susie in Las Vegas, way back in the 80’s I believe and I flew out to Vegas t o see Clint’s show and Susie, I believe was “The Co Headliner” If you were her bass player back in those days I may have seen you! It was back in the 80’s or 90’s and I think the venue was “The Flamingo” Please let me know if I recall correctly?
And, of course you nailed the question!
Cheers!

Great question.
All Goffin-King songs. Im gonna GUESS “Take Good Care of my baby” doesn’t belong. Not sure if G-K song or not.
Under the Boardwalk?
Have no idea on last question.
Actuallu I think “You’ve Lost that loving feeling” is not Goffin/Kin but Phil Spedtor. All the rest Clark got.
Hey Jim!
Always great to see you on the site! And yes you correctly answered part of the quiz!
Thanx,
Rick
