RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #355 (GOLQ355) (Correction)
This correction is being issued due to an entry being inadvertently
left out of the original issue. Changes were made to the team
scoring list, individual song scores and song rating list. My
apologies to the Village Idiots for this oversight.
***************************************************************************
As this is being written it is raining here in NE Ohio. We need it, having had
a hot and dry July and August.
Thus was the inspiration for the theme: Wind and Rain. Every entrant ID'd it.
Congratulations go out to the five top scoring teams: DEC & Friends,
Dale Latimer, Delphi Trivia Club, The EJ'S & Co., and Village Idiots who
only (like everyone else) missed T2
I hope everyone had fun with this; thanks to all who entered.
Howard Teitelbaum has already posted the September quiz (GOLQ 356)

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #355 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The secret way you hold my hand
To let me know you understand
The wind and rain upon your face
The breathless world of your embrace
#01) Anka, Paul: "(All of a Sudden) My Heart Sings" (1958/59) [15] {-} <42><205>
Who's tripping down
The streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who's reaching out to capture a moment
#02) Association, The: "Windy" (1967) [1] {-} <93><225><306>
I may go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could
Go to working for
#03) Bare, Bobby: "Four Strong Winds" (1964) [60] {n/c} <212>
Well folks (he said blushing and shuffling his feet) it turns out that this is
actually a song that was not eligible due to the "re-use" rule. It was used
as a tie-breaker in GOLQ 334 (as by Ian & Sylvia) so it does not meet the 2 year
minimum time period criteria. Fortunately, all the entrants knew at least the
song title so I treated this as usual for scoring purposes. I am awaiting
sentencing for my crime at the hands of the GOLQ executive committee. I hope
they will temper justice with mercy, but I hear they can be pretty harsh.
Dale Latimer commented: Most commonly associated with Canadian folk icons
Ian & Sylvia, who (AFAIK) never charted with it stateside. The Brothers Four
bubbled under with it in 1963, while Neil Young took it to #61 in 1979.
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
Oh boy when you're dead
#04) Beatles, The: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" (1969) [8] {-} <126><258>
Team Teitelbaum: Written by John during their honeymoon. Only he & Paul appear
on the recording; John doing lead & rhythm guitar, and Paul bass & drums.
Now it will be
My favorite memory
That vision of you
Standing there
Oh, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
#05) Boone, Pat: "With The Wind And The Rain In Your Hair" (1959) [21] {-}
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
#06) Cascades, The: "Rhythm Of The Rain" (1963) [3] {7} <16><88><139>
Lead singer John Gummoe was born in Cleveland OH.
Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's gone
I don't know where she's gone
#07) Clark, Dee: "Raindrops" (1961) [2] {3} <22><120>
A heart beats softly
About to die
Wandering alone at night
Waiting for the
Storm to pass away
#08) Critters, The: "Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" (1967) [39] {-} <204>
And we went a little further
You wanna hear the rest of it
I might as well
The wind blew her hair in the street
#09) Diddley, Bo: "Say Man" (1959) [20] {3} <103>

In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still

Where winter winds had blown

Thunder, lightning, wind and rain
Love is storming inside my brain
#13) Hamilton, Roy: "Don't Let Go" (1958) [13] {2} <4><139><279>
Wind and storm
Gone's the sun
From the stars
My dark has come
#14) Hyland, Brian: "Tragedy" (1969) [56] {-}
Several entrants said they were not aware of this version, but the lyrics
pretty much duplicate the Thomas Wayne tune of 10 years earlier. If you have
not heard it previously, here is a Youtube link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXaq4xkxTd4
Caught up in a summer shower
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we`ll be caught for hours
Waiting out the sun
#15) Lovin' Spoonful, The: "Rain On The Roof" (1966) [10] {-} <36><192>

You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins
You're Spring to me, all things to me
You're life itselF

They say that I'll forget you
But I say I never will
#17) Mendes, Sergio, & Brasil '66: "Constant Rain (Chove Chuva)" (1966/67)
[71] {-}
A nod to the Olympic games in Rio.
Is it wetter underwater if you're there when it rains
Is it shorter to New York, than it is by plane
Between myself and I, I wonder who's the dumber
Is it hotter down south than it is in the Summer
#18) Pullins, Leroy: "I'm A Nut" (1966) [57] {-}
There was a time my love was needed
My life completed
My dreams come true
Then came the time my life was haunted
My love unwanted
All for you
#19) Rainwater, Marvin: "Gonna Find Me A Bluebird" (1957) [18] {-} <141><228>
The Hawk
The Almighty Hawk
Mister Wind
Takes care of plenty business
'Round winter time
#20) Rawls, Lou: "Dead End Street" (1967) [29] {3} <29><201><312>
Like the winds that bring high tides
You bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary
Barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black
Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell
#21) Robbins, Marty: "Devil Woman" (1962) [16] {-} <76><303>
Every time it rains it rains

I love your love,
All the things that lovers do now, baby,
I can tell
#25) Wind: "Make Believe" (1969) [28] {-} <139>
For (by ranking) a reasonably popular song I was surprised that not many
entrants recognized it.
Dale Latimer commented: Produced by Bo Gentry, co-written by Joey Levine
(Ohio Express, Reunion, etc.), lead vocal by Tony Orlando.
My sweetheart's name is Sally Brown
She used to live in Nassau town
In a jealous fight I shot a man
Now I have to run away to a far-off land
So I roamed and I roamed for a long long time
Trying to find peace of mind
#T1) Aleong, Aki: "Trade Winds, Trade Winds" (1961) [101] {-}
This song strongly reminds of of "Jamaica Farewell" See if you agree:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9IPPRA9BIY .
Dale Latimer: Much better known as an actor with 60 years of experience in
films and TV.
The lovely day we met
I still remember well
Who cared if it was wet
'Cause like the rain we fell
An April afternoon
#T2) Carson, Mindy: "A Rainy Day Refrain" (1950) [24] {-}
I included this song for a couple of reasons. It fit the theme and it happens
to be one first songs I can remember hearing on the radio often enough to
sing(?) to my mother (poor Mom). At four years old my vocal talents had not
yet come to full bloom. What I remember most is the "Da-dim Da-dum" part and
probably drove Mom nuts with it. Here is a Youtube link:

I had guessed that T2 would be tough, but thought that "Say Man" and
"Make Believe" would have been more recognized than they were. "I'm A Nut"
scored much higher on the country charts, so I thought there would be more
recognition carry-over.
