GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #364 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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkpeUDbVAlE (Crystals, 1962)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OwaqeID7RA (Drifters, 1963)
The song's initial version was written by Mann & Weil, and was recorded by
both The Cookies and The Crystals in 1962. In its original form, the lyrics
describe someone still aspiring to get to Broadway. When Leiber & Stoller
needed another song to fill out a Drifters recording session, they worked
with Mann & Weil to revise the song into its now-familiar form, in which the
protagonist is already on Broadway, but struggling.
Team Asia noted a version by Dave Clark Five (LP track in 1964).

Songwriter/producer Sylvia Moy died 4/15/17 at 78. By 1965, Stevie's voice
had changed from his "Little Stevie" soprano, and Motown was preparing to
drop this 15-year-old has-been. Moy approached Berry Gordy and got him to
reconsider, on the condition that she could create another hit for him.
She and Hank Cosby fleshed out this song from a fragment Stevie played for
them. At the recording session, there hadn't been time to prepare a Braille
version of the lyrics for Stevie to learn, so she fed him the words via his
headphones one line ahead of the music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCmk6ZIPaa0
Arranger/conductor Arnie Goland had been long associated with Phil Spector,
before their inevitable falling-out. This song definitely has the familiar
"Wall of Sound" vibe, and its arrangement owes a good bit to "Be My Baby."
