Team Asia, The Delphi Trivia Club and Jamie Lubin & Barbara Cruse all achieved excellent scores, and there were also numerous other teams that did very well. As many entrants pointed out, the theme of our quiz was "groups" - all songs were performed by a group. Bob Bluestein has already posted GOLQ144. Thanks to all who entered!

The lyrics of this version are also slightly different: "Early in the morning we'll be starting out Some honeys will be taking the scene" If I kiss your lips I'll be at your command #02) Chantels: "Maybe" (1958) [15] {2} The song was later recorded by the Three Degrees and Janis Joplin, among many others. They all say we're not meant to be lovers That we'll get along just fine Like sister and brother, oh yeah #03) Charmettes: "Please Don't Kiss Me Again" (1963) [100] {n/c} The record was the only chart entry for this black girl group. I felt so happy I almost cried #04) Crystals: "Then He Kissed Me" (1963) [6] {8} Written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector. Their biggest international hit (#2 in the UK, #1 in Australia). I'm brokenhearted now Since we have parted now My mind wanders now and then #05) Earls: "Remember Then" (1962/63) [24] {29} This catchy uptempo doowop song was the first (and only) national hit for this Bronx vocal group. He makes me do things I don't wanna do He makes me say things I don't wanna say And even though I wanna break away I can't stop saying I adore him Can't stop doing things for him #06) Exciters: "He's Got the Power" (1963) [57] {-} Written by Ellie Greenwich and Tony Powers. The song was a #15 hit in Australia. Well, before the light Hold me again With all of your might #07) Five Satins: "In the Still Of the Nite" (1956,1960,1961) [24,81,99] {3} Recorded in the basement of St. Bernadette's church in East Haven on a Christmas night in 1955. Originally the flip side of the single, "The Jones Girl", was meant to be the A side. She's been good to me But she gets hurt oh so easily #08) Fleetwoods: "Lovers By Night, Strangers By Day" (1962) [36] {-} Written by John Gluck Jr and Neval Nader. Don't know what to do Never met a woman, girl, like you Guess my inexperience shows #09) Four Seasons: "Little Boy (In Grown Up Clothes)" (1965/66) [60] {-} Their last chart entry on the Vee Jay label. We've survived the hard blow And I want you to know That you'll face us at last And I know you will give consideration Shall we perish unjust Or live equal as a nation? #10) Impressions: "This Is My Country" (1968/69) [25] {8} Written by Curtis Mayfield. One of their many civil rights songs. There's a crack up in the ceiling And the kitchen sink is leaking Out of work and got no money A Sunday joint of bread and honey #11) Kinks: "Dead End Street" (1967) [73] {-} Hit #5 on the British charts. Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city #12) Lovin' Spoonful: "Summer In the City" (1966) [1] {-} Written by John Sebastian. L'Equipe noted that this was the group's first #1 and first and only million selling single. All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day #13) Mamas & the Papas: "California Dreamin'" (1966) [4] {-} L'Equipe mentioned that this was their first million selling single. The song has also been a hit for Bobby Womack (#43 in 1969), America (#56 in 1979) and the Beach Boys (#57 in 1986). If the ten most beautiful women in the world If they wanted me I'd have to say no 'Cause I belong to my baby #14) Masqueraders: "I Ain't Got To Love Nobody Else" (1968) [57] {7} Although this song was the only pop chart entry for this Texas soul group, they did have five hits on the Billboard soul charts between 1968 and 1980. There's an interesting article on the Masqueraders at the web address http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/1268/raders.html This page also includes "I Ain't Got To Love Nobody Else" in real audio. I will take you away with me as far as I can To Venus or Mars #15) Miracles: "I'll Try Something New" (1962) [39] {11} Written by Smokey Robinson. The song was later recorded by Diana Ross & the Supremes & the Temptations, whose version hit #25 on the pop chart and #8 on the soul chart in 1969. Sandman will be coming soon Singing you a slumber tune #16) Mystics: "Hushabye" (1959) [20] Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. Also recorded by the Beach Boys. Yes I'll wine and dine you Take you anywhere you wanna go And when the night is over I don't wanna see you no more #17) O'Jays: "One Night Affair" (1969) [68] {15} Written and produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Jerry Butler also charted with this song in 1972. This old airport's got me down It's no earthly good to me 'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground Cold and drunk as I might be #18) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Early Morning Rain" (1965) [91] {-} Several people noted that the song was written by Gordon Lightfoot. Funniest sound I ever heard And I can't understand a single word #19) Rivingtons: "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" (1962) [48] {-} Howard Teitelbaum mentioned that the Trashmen combined this song and another by The Rivingtons, "The Bird's the Word," for their bizarre medley hit, "Surfin' Bird." Now she's here and there With every man in town Still trying to take me For that same old clown #20) Rolling Stones: "It's All Over Now" (1964) [26] {-} Recorded at the Chess studios in Chicago. The song had been a minor hit for the Valentinos (on Sam Cooke's SAR label) a few months earlier. He said, "baby try to see (try to see) Baby understand (understand) Baby you're for me Won't you take my hand" But I pushed him far away (far away) Wouldn't let him near Pushed him far away Now I'm wishing I could hear him call me #21) Superbs: "Baby Baby All the Time" (1964) [83] {n/c} The only charted record for this black West Coast vocal group, who had several fine releases on the Dore label. Mike Weaver said that in his opinion they would have deserved more attention. Smiles have all turned to tears But tears won't wash away the fear That you never ever gonna return To ease the fire that within me burns #22) Supremes: "Come See About Me" (1964) [1] {n/c} Also recorded by Nella Dodds (on Wand), whose version was actually released first. Baby, baby, is there no chance I can take you for the last dance All night long yeah I've been waiting Now there'll be no hesitating #23) Troggs: "With A Girl Like You" (1966) [29] {-} The record was a number one hit for the group in the UK. Treat each man as your brother And remember that each man's grief is your own #24) Van Dykes: "No Man Is An Island" (1966) [94] {24} The Van Dykes were a vocal trio formed in Fort Worth, Texas in 1964. Their singing style on was clearly influenced by the Impressions. I got so sick of having sleepless nights I went and told my dad #25) Who: "Pictures Of Lily" (1967) [51] {-} The record hit #4 on the British charts. TIE-BREAKERS: Said you went to see your girlfriend, I can't understand You come back with dollar bills sticking all out of your hand Whatever kind of game you have played, you must have played it hard Blackjack or poker, baby you must have monkey part You come home in rage, your eyes all red Hair sticks straight up on top of your head I ask what's wrong with your beautiful bit of hair You tell me you got it messed up when you was 'round there #T1) Du Droppers: "I Wanna Know" (1953) [-] {3} This raunchy r&b song was the group's first RCA single and also their biggest hit, which was listed as #13 in Billboard's "Top R&B Hits of the Year". "We ran a contest on this song," related group member J.C.Ginyard in 1978, "and gave a prize to the one that wrote in the best letter of what they did when they [were] 'round there..." The Du Droppers next recorded an answer song to their own hit, "I Found Out (What You Do When You Go 'Round There)", which also hit #3 on the R&B chart and ended up as the #39 R&B song of the year. There was also another answer record, "You'll Never Know" by Eve Foster (on Atlantic), which apparently took a female point of view to the story. See the stars come falling down from the sky Gently passing to kiss your tears when you cry See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face See the rain hide away disgrace #T2) Yardbirds: "Still I'm Sad" (1965) [-] {-} This very unusual song is an early example of psychedelic rock. In the UK the song was the flip side of "Evil Hearted You" - the single was a two-sided hit, peaking at #3 on the British charts. In the US it was issued as the flip side of "I'm A Man", which was a #17 hit for the group. _______________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized.
