TOM ADAMS, SEAN ANGLUM, RICK CRANE, JUDY JULIAN and ED TOUTANT. They
both achieved perfect scores to tie for first. The other teams in the
first tier were the team of BARRY SILK, SCOOTER MAGRUDER and JENNY McCAW,
the GYPSY'S CARAVAN, the DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB, and the COASTERS.

#01) Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass: "Taste Of Honey" (1965) [7] {-}
#01 was originally "The Lonely Bull". It was quickly replaced, because
only The Tijuana Brass are listed as artists for it, before most teams
had downloaded the files. Credit was given for either answer.

#T1) Janis Martin: "My Boy Elvis" (1956) [-] {-}
Known as the "female Elvis Presley", together they combined for 152
entries in the 1996 Whitburn (Elvis had 151, Janis 1). She did get to
meet him twice. From the "Loud, Fast and Out of Control" boxed set.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ186/GOLQ186-T2.mp3
#T2) Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra: "The Last Time" (1966) [-] {-}
The Verve: "Bittersweet Symphony" was a mega-hit in the summer of 1997.
It came about when Richard Ashcroft first heard the symphonic version of
"The Last Time" that had been released in the 60s by something called the
Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra (he was an early producer of the Stones)
and felt it could be turned into something outrageous. So he looped four
bars from the track and went to work. However, as it was becoming an
international hit, Allen Klein, the lawyer for the label that put out
the original version, ABKCO, sued over the sampling that was done.
All the principals from the 60s version were sent copies. Jagger and
Richard chose not to get involved. Oldham was truly impressed by the
song, but left it in the hands of the lawyers (he would also sue two
years later). The eventual result was a 50-50 royalty split.
Unfortunately for the Verve, that meant 50% for Jagger and 50% for
Richard. They were also added to the publishing credits. Ashcroft
called it the best song the Stones have done in twenty years. More
complete descriptions of the above events can be found on various Verve
and Rolling Stone websites. The above was paraphrased from one of them.
JL: Verve's version was on the soundtrack for "Cruel Intentions"
GT: The last track from the album, "The Rolling Stones Songbook".
