Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 02:29:01 GMT RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #113 Congratulations to six teams who tied for first place with perfect scores: MICHAEL FLINT, PEKKA & JYRKI, THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN, REALLY ROCKIN' IN BOSTON, L'EQUIPE and THE DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB! Two other teams tied for seventh place, missing only one-tiebreaker each: RON & SALLY CRANDALL, BOB STORCH; and THE COASTERS. In addition, two other teams tied for ninth place, each with 500 scores: THE LP'S (PAUL & LEN ELLIS) and JAMIE LUBIN & NORM KATUNA. Congratulations are also in order for two other teams! ANTONIO TORRALBA's team identified every song including both tie-breakers, but missed a perfect score with one minor imperfection in their entry. I know how they must feel with the outcome, since I've gotten several 499++ scores in the past. And ROGER NEUSTAEDTER who identified all 25 regular songs but had some of those pesky imperfections in his answers. It seems that some GOLQ single-game records have been broken: - Most number of perfect scores (500++) = 6 - Most number of 500 scores = 10 - Most number of scores >= 400 = 23 Now it's time for you to concentrate on GOLQ114: Rich Ardini, a member of Really Rockin' In Boston, has authored his first quiz and has already posted it. Hope everyone enjoyed the quiz! Thanks to all who entered! -- Barry _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: A "+" indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly; a "-" indicates partial credit; an "x" indicates a totally incorrect guess; a "." indicates no guess.

Additional instruments included Paul on piano and Ringo on chocalho (a cylindrical metal shaker). Mixed to mono & stereo on 12 Oct, but a separate mono mix for U.S. singles was made on 21 Oct. Released on 27 Nov as the nominal B-side to "I Feel Fine" (although this really was a "double A-side" record!). In keeping with then-standard practices for singles in the U.K. and U.S., this song was omitted from the Dec '64 U.K. LP ("Beatles for Sale"), but included on the Dec '64 U.S. LP ("Beatles '65"). Fare thee well, I know you're leaving For the new love that you found That handsome guy that you've been dating Whoa, I've got a feeling he's gonna put you down #02) Jerry Butler: "He Will Break Your Heart" (1960) [7] {7} The EJ's: Written by Calvin Carter, Jerry Butler, and Curtis Mayfield; produced by Calvin Carter. Butler and Mayfield had previously been partners in The Impressions. They reunited to write this song during a drive from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. According to Butler, the lyrics were inspired by their experiences with groupies over the years---but written from the angle of the local boyfriend who had to compete with a rock star visiting his town and romancing his girlfriend! Co-writers Mayfield and Carter sing harmony and play guitar, respectively, on the record. The song was later recorded by The Righteous Brothers (1966) and Tony Orlando & Dawn (a #1 song in 1975 under the title "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)"). Butler had a recent career in Chicago as a Cook County Commissioner. Rick Schubert: #1 on the R&B charts for 7 weeks. That handsome boy over there The one with the wavy hair I don't how I'm gonna do it But I gonna make him mine #03) Chiffons: "He's So Fine" (1963) [1] {1} The EJ's: Written by Ronnie Mack; produced by Bright Tunes Productions [The Tokens]. The Chiffons first and only #1 song on both the Pop and R&B charts. Mack had asked the four New York City high school girls to record demos of his songs. After much pavement pounding and door knocking, Mack was signed by The Tokens, who had a new production deal with Capitol Records. The Tokens brought the girls into the studio, financed the recording session, and played all the instruments. The song was rejected not only by Capitol but by 13 other major labels before Laurie Records picked it up. Mack, who had been ill from Hodgkin's disease, died shortly after the song topped the charts. "He's So Fine" is also famous for being cited as the source material in a plagiarism lawsuit brought against George Harrison and his composition "My Sweet Lord." Harrison stated that he was inspired by the Edwin Hawkins Singers' "Oh Happy Day," and didn't realize the similarity to "He's So Fine" until people mentioned it after "My Sweet Lord" was released. The judge found Harrison guilty of copyright infringement, although he ruled "it may have been subconsciously accomplished," suggesting Harrison did not deliberately plagiarize. After the brouhaha, there were these ironies: The Chiffons reunited in 1975 to record their own version of "My Sweet Lord," and Jonathan King recorded a satiric version of "He's So Fine" that featured a replication of the arrangement of "My Sweet Lord"! Neither of those charted, but three other artists did in the 1970s with their versions of "He's So Fine": Jody Miller (1971); Kristy and Jimmy McNichol (1978); and Jane Olivor (1978). Rick Schubert: #1 on the R&B charts for 4 weeks. I've got the records that we used to share And they still sound the same as when you were here The only thing different, the only thing new #04) Patsy Cline: "She's Got You" (1962) [14] {-} The EJ's: Written by Hank Cochran; produced by Owen Bradley. Cochran had previously written Cline's 1961 hit "I Fall To Pieces." A #1 hit on the country charts for five weeks, this was Cline's last single to crack the Top 40 on the Pop chart. Rick Schubert: Later recorded by Don McLean as "He's Got You". When he holds my hand I'm so proud 'Cause he's not just one of the crowd #05) Crystals: "He's A Rebel" (1962) [1] {2} The EJ's: Written by Gene Pitney; produced by Phil Spector. The only #1 song by The Crystals---but in name only, for the recording actually featured the vocals of The Blossoms with Darlene Love as lead. The song was intended for Vikki Carr, but Spector had other ideas. Spector assembled his "Wall of Sound" musicians at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles to cut the music for The Crystals, whom he was grooming as the first stars of his new label, Philles. But the girls, high school teenagers, were unwilling to leave New York. With the clock ticking, Spector hired the Blossoms, the top group on the L.A. session scene, for triple scale but no royalties. There were also notable performances by Larry Knechtel on piano and Hal Blaine on drums. Things went so well, Spector also had The Blossoms record the next hit accredited to The Crystals, "He's Sure The Boy I Love." Well I keep doing what she wants She's the captain of my soul #06) Diamonds: "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)" (1959) [18] {-} The Diamonds formed in 1954 in their hometown of Ontario, Canada. They were students at the University of Toronto: Stan Fisher(lead), Ted Kowalski (tenor), Phil Leavitt (baritone), and Bill Reed(bass). If only you would have kissed me The way that she kissed me And if only you would have loved me The way that she loved me But you didn't now she's with me #07) Ral Donner: "She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be)" (1961) [18] {-} The EJ's: Donner was born in Chicago in 1943. As a teenager he formed his first group, The Rockin' Five, and before he was 18 he had appeared in concert on stage with Sammy Davis Jr. at New York's Apollo Theater and on Alan Freed's "Big Beat" TV show. Donner's vocal style pegged him as an Elvis imitator throughout his career, an impression supported by the fact that his first hit was a cover of a 1960 "Elvis Is Back" album track, "Girl Of My Best Friend." Some fan magazines speculated that the singer was Elvis himself recording under another name! Donner was actually a huge fan of Presley, and he was used as the narration voice of Elvis in the 1981 documentary film "This Is Elvis." Donner died of cancer in April 1984. Just because I asked a friend about him Just because I spoke his name somewhere Just because I rang his number by mistake today #08) Connie Francis: "He Thinks I Still Care" (1962) [57] {-} The EJ's: Written by Dickie Lee. Although the original by George Jones ("She Thinks I Still Care"), from earlier in 1962, didn't make the Pop chart, it hit #1 on the Country chart. She don't know that she's a lucky girl Got the best thing in the whole wide world Got a love that's hard to find Got the boy I wish was mine #09) Lesley Gore: "She's A Fool" (1963) [5] {26} The EJ's: Produced by Quincy Jones. She loves her man And lets him know Every way she can Soul on soul Hand in hand Together #10) Tommy James & the Shondells: "She" (1969) [23] {-} Jamie Lubin: Group members Mike Vale & Tommy James, as well as producers Jeff Katz & Jerry Kasenetz were among the writers. Ron Crandall: Tommy James & The Shondells last top 40 hit. And when I kissed her A kiss that only meant goodbye #11) Jay & the Americans: "She Cried" (1962) [5] {-} Robert Aisenstein: Also a great version by the Shangri-Las (He Cried), Red Bird 053 (#65 in 1966). The EJ's: The first hit for the group formed by students from New York University, and the only one featuring the real Jay. After "She Cried," Jay Traynor left the group and was replaced as lead singer by David Blatt, who adopted the name "Jay Black." The Shangri-Las recorded a female version, "He Cried," in 1966, and in 1970, The Lettermen also covered the song. Mama doesn't like him cause he never cuts his hair Daddy doesn't like him cause he said he's heard him swear #12) Carole King: "He's A Bad Boy" (1963) [94] {-} Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Produced by Gerry Goffin. Every time I see her She don't even look my way Maybe she will notice me But then what would I say? #13) Gary Lewis and the Playboys: "She's Just My Style" (1965/6) [3] {-} The EJ's: Arranged by Leon Russell and produced by Snuff Garrett. Just as sweet as he can be And I don't care what the people say I'm gonna love him come what may #14) Marvelettes: "He's A Good Guy (Yes He Is)" (1964) [55] {NC} Jamie Lubin: Written & produced by Smokey Robinson. They say in every man You'll find a little boy And every now and then When he's happy or blue That little boy comes shining though #15) Jody Miller: "He Walks Like A Man" (1964) [66] {-} Written by Diane Hilderbrand. When he pets me He's sweet and gentle It just gets me Honest and truly I'm sentimental #16) Platters: "He's Mine" (1957) [23] {5} Several people mentioned that Zola Taylor sang lead on this song, which was a rare occurrence. Taylor also sang with Shirley Gunter and the Queens before joining the Platters. Jamie Lubin: Surprisingly (along with My Prayer) was on the charts longer (23 weeks) than any of their other hits except for The Great Pretender. Denis Menard noted this was "B" side of "I'm Sorry". Rick Schubert added: Charted higher on the R&B charts than the "A" side, "I'm Sorry" (#5 vs. #15), but lower on the Pop charts (#23 vs #11). She even kisses me like you used to do And it's just breaking my heart #17) Elvis Presley: "She's Not You" (62) [5] {13} Written by Doc Pomus, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. She comes in colors ev'rywhere, She combs her hair #18) Rolling Stones: "She's A Rainbow" (1968) [25] {-} Sometimes a man might wanna cry Sometimes a man might wanna die You wondered why you're standing all alone #19) Searchers: "He's Got No Love" (1965) [79] {-} Written by two of the Searchers: Chris Curtis and Mike Pender. Well she was walking down the street Looking fine as she could be, hey hey Well she was walking down the street Looking fine as she could be, hey hey #20) Sir Douglas Quintet: "She's About A Mover" (1965) [13] {-} The EJ's: Written by Doug Sahm; produced by Huey Meaux. Really a Tex-Mex border group, but during the British Invasion, producer Meaux gave them an English-sounding name and used the phrase "Merseybeat" to describe their music. The hype worked, resulting in this and a few other hits. Covered in 1968 by Otis Clay. Lead (Sir) Doug Sahm (Saldana)is still active today and touring, leading his own band and as part of The Texas Tornadoes with his old Quintet compadre Augie Meyers, plus Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez. We have a date nearly every night Cause I can't do without her I love the way she walks I love the way she talks I love everything about her #21) Swingin' Medallions: "She Drives Me Out Of Mine" (1966) [71] {-} The EJ's: A follow-up to this South Carolina group's frat party- garage anthem "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)." That was it for them; they were a two-hit wonder. The song was covered by the contemporary frat party-garage band The Skeletons on their 1987 album "Rockin' Bones" and their 1991 CD "In The Flesh." No one else could ever kiss me the way he does at night And no one else could ever hold me the way he holds me tight As long as he wants me By his side I'll be #22) Irma Thomas: "He's My Guy" (1964) [63] {NC} Jyrki Ilva: First, the song was written by Van McCoy, who also wrote hits for many other artists, including Gladys Knight & the Pips, Ruby & the Romantics, Barbara Lewis, Betty Everett, Jackie Wilson, Chris Bartley and Brenda & the Tabulations, and went on to have a huge #1 hit with "The Hustle" in 1975. During her Imperial years (1963-66) Irma Thomas recorded at least three other songs by him, "Times Have Changed", "It's Starting To Get To Me Now" and "Some Things You Never Get Used To".

All song titles started with "He" or "She" variations. The theme was identified by almost everyone! _______________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized. The third number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Song Avg. Title ---+-----+----+------------------------------------------------------ 1 #01 20.0 Beatles: "She's A Woman" 2 #05 18.9 Crystals: "He's A Rebel" 3 #03 19.1 Chiffons: "He's So Fine" T4 #24 18.6 Turtles: "She'd Rather Be With Me" T4 #18 18.6 Rolling Stones: "She's A Rainbow" 6 #04 18.4 Patsy Cline: "She's Got You" T7 #02 17.3 Jerry Butler: "He Will Break Your Heart" T7 #17 17.3 Elvis Presley: "She's Not You" T7 #20 17.3 Sir Douglas Quintet: "She's About A Mover" T10 #09 16.8 Lesley Gore: "She's A Fool" T10 #11 16.8 Jay & the Americans: "She Cried" 12 #13 16.4 Gary Lewis and the Playboys: "She's Just My Style" 13 #08 15.0 Connie Francis: "He Thinks I Still Care" 14 #07 13.6 Ral Donner: "She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be)" 15 #23 13.2 Johnny Tillotson: "She Understands Me" 16 #06 11.8 Diamonds: "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)" 17 #22 11.4 Irma Thomas: "He's My Guy" 18 #14 11.3 Marvelettes: "He's A Good Guy (Yes He Is)" 19 #25 11.1 Dale Wright with the Rock-Its: "She's Neat" 20 #12 10.9 Carole King: "He's A Bad Boy" T21 #15 10.5 Jody Miller: "He Walks Like A Man" T21 #19 10.5 Searchers: "He's Got No Love" 23 #21 10.2 Swingin' Medallions: "She Drives Me Out Of Mine" 24 #16 10.0 Platters: "He's Mine" 25 #T2 9.5 Monkees: "She" 26 #10 8.6 Tommy James & the Shondells: "She" 27 #T1 7.3 Beach Boys: "She Knows Me Too Well" As you can see, there was a very high "recognition" rate for most of the songs in this quiz. Many songs were probably identified (and guessed correctly) because of the theme -- which is what I expected! My guess is that without the theme, songs #12,14,15,16,22,23,25 wouldn't have been identified by as many teams. _____________________ Barry Silk (barrys@cais.com)
