RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #338 (GOLQ338)
Congratulations to our FOUR co-winners, each of whom had perfect scores:
Delphi Trivia Club; EJ'S & Co.; Village Idiots; and, DEC and Friends. Kudos
also to Will McCorry and Really Rockin' In Boston, who identified all 25 songs
in the main part of the quiz. Looks like The Beatles' "I've Just Seen A Face"
was not much of a tie breaker, in that every team correctly identified the
song, and it was one of only two songs that were identified by all.
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted the
April 2014 quiz (GOLQ #339).

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #338 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her tonight
#T1) Beatles, The: "I've Just Seen A Face" (1965)
Note: From their British album, HELP and their USA album RUBBER SOUL. I read
once where Capital Records didn't want to replicate the British Beatles albums
because they had too many songs on them, often 14 instead of the standard 12.
Instead, Capital would siphon off several tunes from each album and when they
had enough for an extra album, they'd release it. That is why the US listing of
albums differs from the Brits, e.g., BEATLES VI and YESTERDAY AND TODAY.
You left me here all alone
Hear me calling, won't you come back home
Love me like you did before
Now need I tell you more
#T2) Crickets, The: "Lonesome Tears" (1958)
Note: Flip side of The Crickets' version of "It's So Easy," which was pretty
popular in my Hartford area but, surprisingly, never charted on Billboard.
