Jessica Raine: Written by Tom Jones (not the singer) and Harvey Schmidt; this has become a standard. Team Corning: Also recorded by The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Cliff Richard, and others. Yeah, bring back Aw, bring back Oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me #02) Beatles, The, with Tony Sheridan: "My Bonnie (My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean)" (1964) [26] {-} From the album "The Beatles with Tony Sheridan and Their Guests." Recorded May, '61 (while Pete Best was still The Beatles' drummer) with vocalist Sheridan. Its flip side was "The Saints (When The Saints Go Marching In)." Also from that album was the single "Why," with flip side "Cry For A Shadow." Team Teitelbaum: Recorded in June, 1961 during The Beatles' second stint in Hamburg. At this session, the group backed Sheridan (a moderately popular British vocalist) on 5 songs and also recorded 2 without him ("Ain't She Sweet" and the instrumental "Cry for a Shadow"). The session was produced by Bert Kaempfert for Polydor (Deutsche Grammophon's pop subsidiary). Have I told you lately that I love you? Well, if I didn't, darlin', I'm sorry Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms, oh, when you needed me? #03) Bell, William: "I Forgot To Be Your Lover" (1969) [45] {10} The R&B singer's biggest single on Stax. You done started back doin' the things you used to do #04) Berry, Chuck, & His Combo: "Maybellene" (1955) [5] {1} This recording was a Grammy Hall of Fame Award winner. Seems I've got to have a change of scene Every night I have the strangest dream #05) Cocker, Joe: "Feeling Alright" (1969) [69] {-} Written by Dave Mason. And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody fear While the beggars stain the pavements with fluorescent Christmas cheer #06) Cream: "Anyone For Tennis" (1968) [64] {-} Theme from the film "The Savage Seven." When you said you loved me (When you said you loved me) And we could not be parted (We could not be parted) Right then I built my world around you (Built my world around you) I'm so thankful that I found you #07) Four Tops: "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" (1966) [45] {12} Written by Stevie Wonder and Ivy Jo Hunter. Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear She comes to me softly with crackers and beer Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' my ear Runnin' away with my mind #08) Goldsboro, Bobby: "The Straight Life" (1968) [36] {-} One of his 26 top-100 hits. Life is just a book of pages You've still got so many to fill in Don't put down what's happening around you Just because they told you it's a sin #09) Grass Roots, The: "Wake Up, Wake Up" (1967) [68] {-} Written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri. I spent seventeen years in West Virginia Eight more years just a-runnin' free But the girls back home in the blue gingham dresses Only heard one thing from me #10) Kingston Trio, The: "One More Town" (1962) [97] {-} The trio formed in 1957 and broke up in 1968. When he takes me in his arms The world is bright, all right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back on my knees someday #11) Lee, Peggy: "My Man" (1959) [81] {-} Originally a French song ("Mon Homme"). Performed by Fanny Brice (subject of the film "Funny Girl") in "Ziegfeld Follies of 1921." Barbra Streisand also recorded this song in 1965. Don't run away Stay with me, girl Without you all my world would tumble down And all my dreams would crumble 'round me Shadows would always follow me I need your love #12) Lettermen, The: "Sherry Don't Go" (1968) [52] {-} One of the harmonizing foursome's 20 top-100 hits from 1961 to 1971. These were - not unexpectedly - the least recognized lyrics on the quiz. By the flickering firelight Anyplace is all right Long as you are there #13) Martin, Dean: "In The Misty Moonlight" (1967/68) [46] {-} Dino's cover of Jerry Wallace's 1964 hit. Nothing else to make but breakfast and love We'll hang a little sign that just says, "Paradise, Population 2" #14) Mendes, Sergio, & Brasil '66: "Pretty World" (1969) [62] {-} A less successful follow-up to their biggest hits, "The Look Of Love," "The Fool On The Hill," and "Scarborough Fair," all covers of big hits. So after this song they went right back and covered "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" and "Wichita Lineman." I look at your pretty face And I fall in love with you, fall in love with you every time I see you #15) Orpheus: "Can't Find The Time" (1969) [80] {-} A big hit in the Boston area, whence the group hails. The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang #16) Presley, Elvis: "Jailhouse Rock" (1956/57) [1] {1} The title song from the movie. Everyone recognized these lyrics. The world was dark, and God made stars to brighten up the night But God who put the stars above, I don't believe made those lights #17) Price, Ray: "City Lights" (1958) [71] {-} The country singer whose sole pop chart top-40 single was 1970's "For The Good Times." He did however have several country chart #1's, of which this recording was one. Also acceptable was Debbie Reynolds, who had a 1960 version. Heaven knows I've missed you Count every leaf on a willow tree Count every wave on the stormy sea #18) Rivieras, The: "Count Every Star" (1958) [73] {-} Also acceptable was Linda Scott, whose 1962 version hit #41. Donnie and the Dreamers' version hit #35 in 1961. Regrets, I've had a few But then again too few to mention I did what I had to do #19) Sinatra, Frank: "My Way" (1969) [27] {-} Arranged by Don Costa. Old Blue Eyes took the "final curtain" on May 14, 1998 at age 82 after having made over 1,800 recordings and having won 9 Grammys in his lifetime. Everyone recognized these lyrics. Jessica Raine: Originally had French lyrics; English lyrics were written by Paul Anka. I'm livin', livin', livin' life With all its ups and downs I'm givin', givin', givin' love And smilin' at the frowns #20) Sly & the Family Stone: "Sing A Simple Song" (1969) [89] {28} Sly was originally the leader of Sly and the Mojo Men. The Mojo Men later had 3 top-100 hits, including "Sit Down, I Think I Love You." They lived right down the road from us In a shack just like our shack The people worked the land together And we learned to count on each other When you live off the land you don't have the time To think about another man's color #21) Springfield, Dusty: "Willie & Laura Mae Jones" (1969) [78] {-} Written by Tony Joe White. From the album "Dusty In Memphis." "The White Queen of Soul" died of cancer on March 2, 1999. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire in the hospital shortly before her death - just two weeks before her scheduled induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Bruce Springsteen and Sir Paul McCartney. Trousers draggin', slowly draggin' through the street Yes, I'm walkin', but I'm walkin' without feet I'm not finding fault at all With what's too big and what's too small #22) Streisand, Barbra: "Sam, You Made The Pants Too Long" (1966) [98] {-} A humorous Milton Berle rewrite of "Lawd, You Made The Night Too Long." Said that he would come back In a year or two Told me not to cry He'd always be true He said, "Fear not, my sweet But have faith in me For I'll return From o'er the sea" #23) Tassels, The: "To A Soldier Boy" (1959) [55] {-} The quartet's only charted single. Oh my angel Come back to me And I will love you Till eternity #24) Tillman, Bertha: "Oh My Angel" (1962) [61] {-} Her only charted single. They'll tell you that their love is true Then they'll walk right over you Now, girls, you should know these things right off the bat #25) Velvelettes, The: "Needle In A Haystack" (1964) [45] {n/c} This quintet formed while at Western Michigan State University. They got their break in 1962 when Berry Gordy's nephew saw them perform and invited them to audition for Motown. They were signed to Motown subsidiary label V.I.P., and this song became V.I.P.'s first hit. ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? #T1) Taylor, James: "Carolina In My Mind" (1969) [118] {-} Sweet Baby James' first charting single. After the success of "Fire And Rain," this single re-entered the charts in late 1970 and reached #67. The Gypsy's Caravan: Crystal Mansion also had a version make the charts in 1970. But I still love you I've been hurt Like this before, yeah You're not teaching me a new thing #T2) Zombies, The: "Whenever You're Ready" (1965) [110] {-} This single, written by keyboardist Rod Argent, wasn't a big hit in the British quintet's home country either. ============================================================================== ========================= ======= ROCK 'N' ROLL A-Z PUZZLER ANSWERS ========================= ======= Kudos to these members of the Puzzler Honor Roll (20 or more answers correct): Andrew E., Joanne P, Randy Price, and Team Teitelbaum.
