Good morning and yes it’s time for an all new SMS trivia Quiz for Tuesday October 15th! Brought to us each week by all the Groovey people at Omnivore Recordings! Your perfect destination for all the music you didn’t know, you didn’t know. However, since we had no trivia quiz last week, this week we’re cutting straight to this week’s question!
Here is your brand new Trivia Question: In the 1960’s “The Motown Sound”“was literally everywhere, it felt like every other record on the radio was another Motown hit! From his “Hitsville” offices and studios in Detroit, Barry Gordy Jr. turned his dream into an American institution! All things considered, up here in the palatial office s and studio’s of Sixties Music Secrets we believe it’s time to shine some light on Mr. Gordy and MOTOWN! Let’s begin by asking you to give us the title of Motown’s first hit record ? We’d also like you to tell us the name of the Motown Super Star who also served as the Vice President of Motown records? Finally, give us the name of the only successful WHITE band signed to Motown?
In summary, here’s what we need:
1) Give us the title of Motown’s first hit?
2) Give us the name of the Motown Super Star who also served as the Vice President of Motown records ?
3) Give us the name of the only successful WHITE band signed to Motown records?
