From: rns@npg-sd.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM (Rick Schubert) Newsgroups: rec.games.trivia Subject: RESULTS and ANSWERS: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #44 (GOLQ44) Message-ID: <6258@npg-sd.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM> Date: 30 Jun 93 17:55:23 GMT Organization: NCR Corp., Network Products - San Diego RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #44 (GOLQ44) Congratulations to the team of Barry Silk & Joe Haertel for their victory with the outstanding score of 460. Jamie Lubin was close behind, also with an outstanding score. Very good scores were achieved by the teams of Howard & Bonnie Teitelbaum, Ron & Sally Crandall, and Norm, Kathy and Carol, on what proved to be a harder quiz than I had anticipated (a quizmaster's common lament). I was correct, however, in my prediction that this quiz would be easier than GOLQ43 -- of the 12 teams that entered both quizzes (other than a change of quizmaster, there was a 100% return from GOLQ43), the average score for GOLQ43 was 123.42, while their average for GOLQ44 was 124.17. Further support of my claim is the fact that 6 of these teams scored higher on this quiz, while only 5 of them score lower (Dave Ewing wins the consistency award for duplicating his GOLQ43 score). Thanks to all who entered. Jamie Lubin, who had a 2-quiz rest as quizmaster, has already posted GOLQ45.

He and Marc Dashevsky added that the #1 cover in 1975 by Tony Orlando and Dawn changed the title to "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)." A number of people gave the latter as the title, for which I gave 5 points. Barry/Joe mentioned Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield, teenage partners when they were in the Impressions, wrote this song during a drive from Philadelphia to Atlantic City and that the song was based on Butler's "groupie experiences," where he apparently had one night stands on the road. Don added that this was actually a duet with Curtis Mayfield, who wrote the song and played guitar on the record. This song was #1 on the R&B charts for 7 weeks.] Oh, when I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord your love I'll keep If I should die before I wake I'll come back for you, make no mistake #03) Cathy Jean and The Roommates: "Please Love Me Forever" (1961) [#12] [Jamie stated that this was originally done by Tommy Edwards, #61 in 1958, as the flip side of "It's All In The Game" (GOLQ01). Bobby Vinton had a #6 hit with this in 1967.] At first I thought it was infatuation But, oo, it's lasted so long Now I find myself wanting To marry you and take you home #04) Cooke, Sam: "You Send Me" (1957) [#1] [Howard noted that this was written by his (Sam's, not Howard's) brother, Charles "L.C." Cooke. Jamie added that it was his 1st hit, on the charts for 26 weeks; it was also his only #1 hit. Barry/Joe provided the quote "Cooke is the world's greatest rock-and-roll singer... the greatest singer in the world" -- Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) after the Liston/Clay fight in Miami Beach, FL 2/25/64. This song was #1 on the R&B charts for 6 weeks.] Well you a-like-a me I a-like-a you When we get together Then we oo-be-oo-be-oo #05) Del Vikings: "Cool Shake" (1957) [#12] [The Dell-Vikings, who had a #4 hit with "Come Go With Me" (GOLQ22) early in 1957, split into 2 groups later that year, one retaining the name The Dell-Vikings and the other taking on the name The Del Vikings. "Whispering Bells" (GOLQ24) became a #9 hit by the Dell-Vikings (although it was recorded in 1956 by the original group) and was on the charts at the same time as "Cool Shake." "Cool Shake" was recorded with the Carl Stevens Orchestra with lead vocals by Gus Backus, who formed the Del Vikings. This song hit #9 on the R&B charts.] I'll tell you now love makes me, uh Makes me feel so good Just like I, I dreamed it would And I'm glad that I, I found you 'Cause our love is a gas and I know it'll last #06) Dion: "Love Came To Me" (1962) [#10] [Jamie noted that this was co-written by Dion. This song hit #24 on the R&B charts.] Yeah, we'll hop in our jalopy to a drive-in movie And never look at the show We're gonna hug and kiss Just like this And I can't wait to go-oh-oh #07) Francis, Connie: "Vacation" (1962) [#9] [Jamie stated that she just appeared at Trump's Castle, Atlantic City, 6/11-12 and that she earned 10 gold records & sings in 10 different languages.] You were better to me Than I'd been to myself For me there's you And nobody else #08) Gaye, Marvin: "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" (1964-5) [#6] [Barry noted that this was covered by Jr. Walker & the All-Stars (with parentheses around "To Be Loved By You"), #18 in 1966, but without these lyrics! James Taylor also used the parentheses for his #5 hit in 1975. Jamie added that Marvin Gaye married one of Berry Gordy's sisters and was a session drummer on the early hits of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. This song hit #4 on the R&B charts.] The hurtin's on me, yeah I will never be free, no, my Baby, no, no You gave a promise to me, yeah You broke it, you broke it #09) Guess Who: "These Eyes" (1969) [#6] Love, oh sweet love It's oh, oh so grand You will find since the beginning of time It has rooted in all the land #10) Harvey and The Moonglows: "Ten Commandments Of Love" (1958) [#22] [Harvey Fuqua, who was one of the 2 lead singers of the Moonglows, was the nephew of Charlie Fuqua of the Ink Spots. He (Harvey) also formed the Spinners in 1961. Marvin Gaye was a member of Harvey And The Moonglows and did the narration on this song (this does not count as having 2 songs by the same artist on the same quiz). This song hit #9 on the R&B charts.] Love, love, love Is what I could give ya True, true, love As long as I may li-iii-ive #11) Herman's Hermits: "Just A Little Bit Better" (1965) [#7] How can you talk to an angel? What words should you say? How can you talk to an angel up above? #12) Innocents: "Gee Whiz" (1960-1) [#28] [An uncharted version of this song (with slightly different lyrics than the above) was recorded by Bob & Earl. The Innocents were Kathy Young's backup group. Jamie pointed out that "A Thousand Stars" by Kathy Young with The Innocents (from GOLQ17) was still on the charts when "Gee Whiz" first charted. The UNM team was the only one to identify this song. This song hit #15 on the R&B charts.] Like I told you once before This fussin' and fightin' they'll be no more I will make this promise to you Just to prove my love is true #13) Jivin' Gene And The Jokers: "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" (1959) [#69] Saw you from my window My heart skipped a beat Gonna sit by your doorstep So that I can meet #14) Lawrence, Steve: "Pretty Blue Eyes" (1959-60) [#9] You ain't sayin' nothin' in my book 'Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook You left the others standin' with their hearts in vein And now you're comin' round tryin' to do me the same #15) Marvelettes: "Playboy" (1962) [#7] [Howard pointed out that the third line should end with "vain," although he said my lyrics may be more anatomically correct :-). Jamie added that one of the writers was Brian Holland of Holland-Dozier-Holland (who wrote more hits in the 60s than the Beatles) and that another was lead singer Gladys Horton. This song hit #4 on the R&B charts.] I've gazed at the White Cliffs Of Dover There's not a place I didn't see Now that my travels are over I wish you had been there with me #16) Nelson, Rick: "A Wonder Like You" (1961) [#11] [his first hit as Rick Nelson.] Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna have money She'll wanta be my e-ver-lo-vin' honey It won't be long, just wait and see #17) Orbison, Roy: "Up Town" (1960) [#72] And when you smile, the world is brighter You touch my hand, and I'm a king Your kiss to me is worth a fortune Your love for me is everything #18) Peterson, Ray: "The Wonder Of You" (1959, 1964) [#25, #70] [Several people gave Elvis Presley as the artist. In addition to the fact that he does not fit alphabetically, his version charted in 1970 (#9), which is outside the range of this quiz. Jamie noted that this was Ray Peterson's first hit.] Then one day she broke my heart Why did she make me cry She said to forget her But I never can And I'm sure that I'll never try #19) Playmates: "Jo-Ann" (1958) [#19] [They were originally called the Nitwits.] They say "beware," but I don't care I love you just the same You're an old heart-breaker and a mischief-maker But I'm wise to your game #20) Sedaka, Neil: "Little Devil" (1961) [#11] [Jamie noted that he organized the Tokens who went on to do "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (GOLQ18).] You'll find your fortunes falling All over town Make sure that your umbrella (Make sure your umbrella is upside down) #21) Skyliners: "Pennies From Heaven" (1960) [#24] [Barry stated that lead singer Jimmy Beaumont, from Pittsburgh, still performs with the 1993 incarnation of the Skyliners. According to Barry, he puts on a fabulous performance and Barry recommend anyone who has a chance to see them in concert do so! "Pennies From Heaven" was their second biggest hit (in terms of peak chart position), after "Since I Don't Have You," which was #12 -- "This I Swear" only hit #26. This was a #1 hit for Bing Crosby in 1936. Someone gave Frank Sinatra as the artist. Although he very likely recorded this song (and he would fit alphabetically), he never charted with this song. This song was the 89th most-recorded song (in terms of number of artists) prior to 1955. The song is from the film of the same name.] So hush pretty ba-ee-bay Doh-ow-oh-ow-oh-ow-oh-ow-oh-ow-oh-ow-oh-ow ooooh Yoooouuuu-oo #22) Stewart, Billy: "Summertime" (1966) [#10] [Barry stated that Billy Stewart, from Washington DC, was nicknamed "Fat Boy" because he weighed 300 pounds and that he was also called "Motormouth" because of his ability to create wild trilling effects (as demonstrated by this song). Barry added that it was written by George Gershwin and that Gershwin would probably regard this version as blasphemy, which is why Barry considers this to be a great version! Jamie also noted that it was co-written by George Gershwin and that Rick Nelson version hit #89 in 1962. It is from the musical "Porgy & Bess." Sam Cook had a #81 hit with it as the flip side of "You Send Me." Many versions of this song have been recorded (it was the 5th most-recorded song from prior to 1955), but this is perhaps the most unusual one and very likely the only one to have these exact lyrics. This song hit #7 on the R&B charts.] Night after lonely night We meet in dreams As I run to your side You wait with open arms Open arms that now are closed, to me #23) Vinton, Bobby: "Blue On Blue" (1963) [#3] [Jamie pointed out that this was written by Burt Bacharach.] Well, now she's my cutey My tutti-frutti My heart, my love My bathing beauty #24) Wilson, Jackie: "Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want To Meet)" (1957) [#62] [Jamie noted that it was his 1st solo hit (previously he was a lead singer for the Dominoes) and that his birthday was 6/9. Jamie and Ron both added that one of the writers was Berry Gordy, Jr. Jamie also said that Jackie Wilson was discovered in 1951 by Johnny Otis and that this song hit #6 in the UK.] I don't know what it's all about I can't begin to figure out what to do so I leave it to you Only know that when you're 'way from me Nothing satisfies the need in me #25) Young Rascals: "A Girl Like You" (1967) [#10] [I originally numbered this as #20 because I forgot to note that this was one of the songs they recorded before changing their name from The Young Rascals The Rascals. I hope everyone saw the corrected order that I posted.] I'm through with my old love I loved her through and through I'm searchin' for a new love Can that new love be you? #TB1) Harptones: "A Sunday Kind Of Love" (1953) [#--] [There have been many versions of this song, from Jo Stafford's #15 Pop hit in 1947 to Reba McEntire's #5 Country hit in 1988. Jan & Dean hit #95 on the Pop charts in 1962, but I've never heard their version and felt that the Harptones' doo-wop version was the definitive one with respect to R&B/R&R music. Many versions do not have the above lyrics, which are the introduction to the Harptones' (and others) version. Barry/Joe noted that lead singer Winnie Winfield was nicknamed "Sultan Of Smooth". Jamie added that one of the writers of this song was Louis Prima.] Remember the dance I held you so tight The Satins were singing "In The Still Of The Nite" You gave me your heart and your love undying Now I'm alone, I'm sitting here crying #TB2) Penguins Featuring Cleve Duncan: "Memories Of El Monte" (1963) [#--] [Joe noted that this was (co-)written by Frank Zappa (later of the Mothers of Invention) -- his first important song - a tribute to the site of the most famous doo-wop shows on the West Coast. Jamie quoted a source that said that this was from 1962.] ______________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized.

An unintentional tag-along to my theme was: "Summertime," which is titled similarly to both: "Summertime Blues" (by Eddie Cochran on GOLQ01) and "Summertime, Summertime" (by the Jamies on GOLQ08) A related (and intentional) mini-theme was the use of "A Wonder Like You" and "The Wonder Of You." ______________________________________________________________________________ The remaining information was provided graciously by Jamie: From WCBS-FM NY/NJ/CT listener-voted surveys of the top 500 songs of all time: Song 1991 1983 1979 1972 *comp ------------------------------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- You Send Me #252 #327 #396 #208 Love Came To Me #490 Ten Commandments Of Love #108 #170 #353 #106 #140 Pretty Blue Eyes #365 Playboy #433 #363 The Wonder Of You (Elvis' version) #14 #70 #43 #289 **#22 Pennies From Heaven #150 #195 #251 Blue On Blue #223 A Sunday Kind Of Love #137 #56 #146 * compilation of all 10 top 500 lists (1972 & [1975 thru 1991--odd years]) ** made all 10 top 500 lists ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From WCBS-FM NY/NJ/CT listener-voted 1992 survey of the top 101 artists of all time: #6 Roy Orbison #12 Dion #14 Connie Francis #18 Jackie Wilson #22 Rick Nelson #31 Skyliners #33 Harptones #44 Neil Sedaka #47 Sam Cooke #54 Moonglows #63 Dell-Vikings #66 (Young) Rascals #73 Penguins #79 Marvin Gaye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From WCBS-FM NY/NJ/CT listener-voted 1993 survey of the top 101 doo-wop songs all time: #12 A Sunday Kind Of Love #74 Pennies From Heaven -- Rick Schubert (rick.schubert@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM)
