portion of one title). So much for #T1 being a tie-breaker: EVERY team
identified it!
As always, thanks to everyone who entered. Rich Ardini has already posted
GOLQ 390.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #379 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
#01) Anka, Paul: "You Are My Destiny" (1958) [7] {14} <51><180>
If by chance we meet someday
Am I supposed to talk a while
Or turn my head and walk on by
This heartache can never end
‘Til you're in my arms again
#02) Ann-Margaret: "What Am I Supposed To Do" (1962) [82] {-} <173>
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beating on that big bass drum
#03) Baker, Lavern: "Saved" (1961) [37] {17} <107>
Note: Covered by Elvis as part of a medley on his 1968 TV "Comeback Special,"
and also featured in "Smokey Joe's Cafe, the musical highlighting many of
Lieber and Stoller's songs.
You won't really fall in love
For you can't take the chance
So please be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance
#04) Bennett, Tony: "The Good Life" (1963) [18] {-} <->
I've got your memory
Or has it got me
I really don't know, but I know
It won't let me be
#05) Cline, Patsy: "She's Got You" (1962) [14] {-} <113>
He's with a beautiful chick
Every night of the week (pretty slick)
We're two poor hung up souls
Girls won't touch with ten foot poles
#06) Coasters, The: "What About Us" (1959) [47] {17} <105>
You're the breath that I take
You're the stars in my heaven
You're the sun when I wake
#07) Darin, Bobby: "You're The Reason I'm Living" (1963) [3] {n/c} <37>
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
#08) Day, Doris: "The Party's Over" (1956/57) [63] {-} <->
Note: Tribute to Doris, who died this month at age 97. The song comes from
the musical, "Bells Are Ringing." I first heard it on my Everly Brothers
1961/62 album, "Instant Party."
Oh, I am so blue
When I think that you
Were once my own
My heart, how it yearns
The flame still burns
But I'm alone
#09) Dion And The Belmonts: "A Lover's Prayer" (1959) [73] {-} <123>
Note: Flip side of "Every Little Thing I Do"
When your luck is batting zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it
#10) Fisher, Eddie: "Heart" (1955) [6] {-} <->
Note: Although Eddie Fisher was my intended artist, I inadvertently overlooked
that The Four Aces version, which peaked at 13, also qualifies. Full credit
was given to the teams that listed The Four Aces as the artist. Jessica
pointed out this song was originally from the 1955 musical, "Damn Yankees."
You better ask your mama
Tell her everything is alright
#11) Four Seasons, The: "Sherry" (1962) [1] {1} <97><253>
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
#12) Herman's Hermits: "I'm Henry The VIII, I Am" (1965) [1] {-} <9><253>
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
#13) Horton, Johnny: "Battle of New Orleans" (1959) [1] {3} <20><276>
My darling
If I hurt you, I'm sorry
Forgive me
And please say you are mine
#14) Martin, Dean: "Return To Me" (1958) [4] {-} <173>
And another thing I
Would like to clarify
Is how can farewell be fair
#15) Miracles, The: "What's So Good About Good-by" (1962) [35] {16} <184>
Note: Shouldn't the correct spelling be, "Goodbye?" (Just asking for a
friend -- ha!)
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
#16) Peter & Gordon: "A World Without Love" (1964) [1] {-} <19><101><305>
He never drank water
He always drank wine
#17) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Stewball" (1963/64) [35] {-} <125>
And when life has lost its meaning
And my dreams have been shattered by time
You touched my hand and baby you made me see
There's a future for me
#18) Pozo-Seco Singers, The: "I Can Make It With You" (1966) [32] {-} <137><324>
Note: My mistake. I included this song as a tribute to Don Williams, founding
member and subsequent C&W star, who I THOUGHT I read had died this month.
However, I recently learned he actually died in Sep 2017. Don't know where I
got my erroneous info, but I apologize for any frustration or inconvenience I
may have caused. In any case, RIP Don.
I said, the first day I met you
Someday, I'm gonna catch you
Now you're here, and baby I love it
So come on and give me some of it
#19) Roe, Tommy: "Jam Up And Jelly Tight" (1969/70) [8] {-} <7>
Wearin' her perfume, Chanel Number Five
Got to be the finest girl alive
#20) Ryder, Mitch & the Detroit Wheels: "Devil With a Blue Dress On & Good
Golly Miss Molly" (1966) [4] {-} <81>
Note: Five points off for omitting "Good Golly Miss Molly," which is half of
the title and the medley
Oh my love, oh my love
I cry for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping
While I long for your touch
#21) Seekers, The: "A World Of Our Own" (1965) [19] {-} <50>
Note: Delphi Trivia Club noted that, in April, The Seekers performed for the
last time with their original members, which could qualify this song as my
second tribute song. News to me, thanks to the DT Club!
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
#22) Tillotson, Johnny: "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'" (1962) [3] {6} <37>
And they are mine
While tropic breezes play
While palm trees gently sway
#23) Williams, Andy: "Lips Of Wine" (1957) [17] {-} <85>
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And now with my lovin' arms around you
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
#24) Wilson, Jackie: "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher" (1967)
[6] {1} <31> <212>
Oh, well I met her at the station
She had her baggage in her hand
Oh, well I met her at the station
She had her baggage in her hand
I said, "I love you pretty baby
I'll make you happy if I can"
#25) York, Rusty: "Sugaree" (1959) [77] {-} <98>
------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
A love that should have lasted years
#T1) Beatles, The: "For No One" (1966)
Note: From their "Revolver" album. Everyone identified this song.
You say you want to hold me
And stick to me like glue
Well, hearin's deceivin'
Seein's believin'
#T2) Presley, Elvis, with the Jordanaires: "Make Me Know It" (1960)
Note: Opening song from "Elvis Is Back" album, his first collection of new
songs after having been released from the service. Song is a personal favorite
that I think would have made for a great single--much better than "Stuck On
You," IMHO.

especially Dean Martin's #4 hit, scored down with my stumpers by Ann-Margaret,
Dion & the Belmonts, and Rusty York.
