Yes! It’s Trivia Tuesday for Feb. 26th. And, as you all know, Trivia Tuesday is brought to us by the fab folks @ Omnivore Recordings! Your number one destination for only the Tastiest music on the planet! Additionally, once more this week, Omnivore will award a free very Groovy CD to the first reader in with the correct answer to this week’s question! But, before we get to this weeks question, we want to recognize the two brilliant readers who weighed in on last weeks question, which was: What Lennon/McCartney song shares the same title as one of The Dave Clark Five’s many hits? The Answer is, “Because” But you knew that, dintja? last week Fred Vogel knew that and he was first in with the correct answer, as was Ron Wood, However Fred beat Ron, by just a few minutes! So Fred Vogel is last week’s recipient of the Omnivore CD! Congratulations once more Fred, and it’s a new week Ron, so another opportunity to nail the Trivia Quiz!

Rick, I look forward to participating. YOU KNOW, BUDDY, I LOVE THE 60’S.. I hope you are doing well…
The first song to jump out at me was “Who’s That Lady” by the ISLEY BROS. I habe always liked the guitar intro AND the guitar TONE…JUST GREAT!! Others I recagnized are: “Time Has Come Today” by the CHAMBERS BROS. “Unchained Melody” by the RIGHTOUS BROS. “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any More” by the WALKER BROS. “Flowers On The Wall” by the STATLER BROS. “Cryin’ In The Rain” by THE EVERLY BROS.
These tunes took me back to H.S. and into the beginning of the GREAT SOCIAL UPHEAVAL at the end of the 60’s!!!
Good questions…the wood
Hey Wood,

3. The Isley Bros. — This Old Heart Of Mine
4. The Righteous Bros. — Unchained Melody

Hey Libbie Jo,
WAY TO GO! You did in fact nail the question and got all 6 correct!
However Steve W., Mark C. And Jimmy got in just a couple minutes before you!
But big congrats “From Me To You”
Rick
Close enough to be near the winner’s circle. For some reason this song list got me thinking about Johnnie Ray, the 60s singer with the sob in his voice, who had the mega hit “Cry.”. I thought he recorded “Heart and Soul” but couldn’t find the evidence. I saw him perform in Vegas once. He could sing!
I had ’em except for Everly Bros. I see now that it’s Cryin in the Rain. I’ll have to Youtube it. I can’t hear it in my mind.
Hey D.
Very Good!
Quite frankly, I’m surprised at the high number of readers who answered the entire question so quickly and correctly! I personally thought the question was much more difficult!
What the Hell Do I know?
Rick

Furthermore, you nailed the question! Well Done! However Steve W. Beat you by 7Minutes!
Thanx Jimmy, don’t be a stranger!
Rick
And for extra credit, I’m Your Puppet is by brothers James and Bobby Purify
Excellent Steve, and for EXTRA, extra credit, can you name the remaining 5 artists who had hits with the remaining 5 titles?
1) “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
2) “Baby I Need Your Lovin’” Four Tops
5) “Heart and Soul” Is this the same song that every piano student learns as a duet? Many artists recorded this, including Dean Martin and Mel Torme
6) “I’m Your Puppett” James and Bobby Purify
7) “Just My Imagination” Temptations
9) “The Way You Do The Things You Do” Temptations
Hey Steve,
Wow! You absolutely nailed ALL SIX!
And, to answer your question about “Heart and Soul” ? YES! It is THAT “Heart and Soul” we included it because it was a huge hit for Jan and Dean ( a duet not a brother act) from 1961
By the way, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael with Lyrics by Frank Loesser. Hoagy initially envisioned it as a more “Updated and Jazzy” rendition of “Chopsticks” Hoagy originally thought of it more as a piano exercise rather than a hit song! But what does Hoagy know?
Steven, You are all over it all the time! The Puppets, yes! Libbie Jo
