RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #443 (GOLQ443)
There was a four-way tie for first place. Congratulations to The Delphi Trivia
Club (first to submit an entry), Tri-State Trivia, The EJs & Co., and the
Village Idiots who tied for first place with perfect scores. Barry Silk and
Vito & The Salutations were close behind.
The tie-breakers were by two of the earlier artists of the late-60s
singer-songwriter genre.
The lower-charting songs in the quiz apparently received more airplay where I
lived near Boston than in other parts of the country. One AM station in
particular, WBZ, played longer 45s and album cuts, such as #19, Tim Rose: "Hey
Joe", and Tom Rush: "Urge For Going" and "Circle Game".
The average score was 444.
Teams that submitted Puzzler answers are Delphi Trivia Club, Team Teitelbaum,
Will McCorry and the EJ's & Co. The complete Puzzler solution is below. And
thanks to Bob Bluestein for continuing to provide these puzzlers.
Thanks to everyone who entered. GOLQ #444 has been posted.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #443 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
#01) Armstrong, Louis, and The All Stars: "Hello, Dolly!"
(1964) [1] {n/c} <39><164><259>
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
#02) Bee Gees, The: "To Love Somebody" (1967) [17] {-} <123><304>
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can't play the game of life to win
#03) Byrds, The: "Goin' Back" (1967) [89] {-} <128>
QM: The song was the last track chosen for the Notorious Byrd Brothers album.
David Crosby had wanted his song "Triad" (later by Jefferson Airplane) to be
the choice instead. David Crosby was no longer a Byrd when this album was
released.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
#04) Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Bad Moon Rising"
(1969) [2] {-} <24><167><290>
Looking through my window at the freshly fallen snow
That sparkles as it tumbles upon the street below
And the crackle of the fire is laughing in my ear
And the room is warm and sleepy
#05) Cyrkle, The: "I Wish You Could Be Here" (1967) [70] {-} <146><266>
QM: The Cyrkle had six charted singles which peaked, in succession, at
2-16-59-70-72-98.
This song was co-written by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley of the Seekers.
She would wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
#06) Day, Bobby: "Over And Over" (1958) [41] {F} <35><109>
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
#07) Essex, The: "Easier Said Than Done" (1963) [1] {1} <12><111><202>
You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky
And taught me how to use it as the years went by
To tie up all your problems and make them look neat
And then to sell them to the people in the street
#08) Four Jacks and A Jill: "Master Jack" (1968) [18] {-} <32><234>
Those bragging words that you were mine
Of that there was no doubt
Sound empty now since half my life's walked out
#09) Four Preps, The: "Big Man" (1958) [3] {9} <27><114><190><284>
QM: In my early memories of listening to Top 40 radio, hearing the two-piano
intro to this song always caught my attention. Lincoln Mayorga, essentially the
"fifth" Prep, played on one of the pianos. He would later be known for the
sparse piano arrangement in "Love Letters" by Ketty Lester.
It's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
Uh, if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
#10) Gaye, Marvin: "Ain't That Peculiar" (1965) [8] {1} <10><86><136><341>
QM: From Youtube, a recorded rehearsal version of this by Fanny.
https://youtu.be/imZUqkPlUaQ?si=pkQFtKUIiTpq9I9k
Saw a man walking upside-down
My TV's on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that
#11) Hombres, The: "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)"
(1967) [12] {-} <72><158><219>
Two girls for every boy
#12) Jan & Dean: "Surf City" (1963) [1] {3} <52><195><260>
Our love's our precious secret
A beautiful thing apart
There is no need for prying eyes
To look into my heart
#13) Knight, Sonny: "Confidential" (1956/57) [17] {8} <34><258>
TP: I first heard this on the Fleetwoods debut album, "Mr. Blue".
Where is this someone, somewhere
Meant for me?
#14) Lee, Brenda: "I Want To Be Wanted" (1960) [1] {7} <72><164><310>
QM: Odd personal memory. In the summer of 1960, I heard "I'm Sorry" constantly.
On the year-end chart for my local station, it was #1. But at #4, there was
this song. And I had never heard it once on the same radio station that fall.
It was an odd way to be introduced to a song.
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
#15) Nelson, Rick, & The Stone Canyon Band: "She Belongs To Me"
(1969/70) [33] {-} <104><212><306>
Where do all the hippies meet?
#16) Orlons, The: "South Street" (1963) [3] {4} <51><159><213><267>
QM: Their label, Cameo-Parkway, was in Philadelphia. Their acts would often
perform on American Bandstand, also in Philadelphia, especially when there were
cancellations. This added TV exposure helped several of their acts to achieve
greater chart success. But two events in February 1964 began the decline of
Cameo-Parkway. One was American Bandstand moving to Los Angeles, sharply
reducing the TV exposure. The other was the Beatles appearing on Ed Sullivan.
The arrival of the British Invasion was the death knell for many 'pre-Fab' acts
of the early 60s, including the Orlons and other artists on these two labels.
Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
And on the way down, she met a turtle dove
Said, let's go rockin'
#17) Preston, Johnny: "Cradle Of Love" (1960) [7] {15} <40><170><276>
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
#18) Reeves, Jim: "He'll Have To Go" (1959/60) [2] {13} <18><153><256>
Every night I'm there
I'm always there, she knows I'm there
And heaven knows, I hope she goes
I find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes
It's dying now, she knows I'm crying now
And every night I'm there, I break my heart to please
#19) Ryan, Barry: "Eloise" (1968/69) [86] {-} <164><255>
QM: This song reached #1 or #2 in just about every country that charted music,
except the United States and Canada. Written by his brother Paul, after he
visited Richard Harris and heard an early version of MacArthur Park. According
to Wiki, the song's success, despite its length, was an argument Freddie
Mercury used when lobbying for Bohemian Rhapsody to be released as a single.
One hundred men will test today
But only three win
#20) Sadler, Ssgt. Barry: "The Ballad Of The Green Berets" (1966) [1] {-} <21>
Well, better listen girl to what I'm telling you
You better listen girl or we are through
You better stop all your foolin' around
Stop your runnin' all over town
#21) Seeds, The: "Pushin' Too Hard" (1966/67) [36] {-} <15><209><281>
QM: Despite its relatively low chart success at the time, it has since become
an enduring anthem of 60s garage-band music. Lead singer Sky Saxon died on the
same day as Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
#22) Stuart, Chad, and Jeremy Clyde: "A Summer Song"
(1964) [7] {n/c} <4><94><272>
As we stroll by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
#23) Tymes, The: "So Much In Love" (1963) [1] {4} <5><92><199>
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight
Suddenly, I found
I was heaven bound
#24) Vaughan, Sarah: "Broken-Hearted Melody" (1959) [7] {5} <9><172><288>
It was late and snow was falling as the shoppers hurried by
Past the girlie at the window with her little head held high
They were closing up the toy shop as I hurried through the door
Just in time to buy the dolly that her heart was longing for
#25) Worth, Marion: "Shake Me I Rattle (Squeeze Me I Cry)"
(1962/63) [42] {-} <179><303>
QM: Released at Christmas in 1962, it never caught on as a Christmas classic.

Tie-Breakers
------------
I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long, I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange
To walk away alone
#T1) Rush, Tom: "No Regrets" (1968) [-] {-}
QM: Several teams noted Shirley Bassey as the artist. It has been covered by
many artists besides Shirley, with the Walker Brothers reaching #7 on the UK
Single charts in 1975. Tom's first album, The Circle Game, included songs
written by then lesser-known artists like Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and
James Taylor. The album cover featured a Linda Eastman photograph. While this
song did not achieve the same level of fame as #T2, it has also been recorded
by many other artists and is considered a standard in the genre.
Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start, like in a game
You could have stayed, outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
#T2) Sainte-Marie, Buffy: "Until It's Time For Me To Go" (1965) [-] {-}
QM: Buffy was in the news as I was preparing this quiz. Her indigenous Canadian
roots were being questioned, as it now appears she was growing up in the town
right next to mine in the Boston suburbs of the 60s. "Universal Soldier" gained
her some early attention, but other songs received only sporadic airplay. This
one has become a true classic, with now over 100 cover versions. Neil Diamond
reached #53 with his version in 1970.

Now I'm worried because I have a brand new record and it's called
"Crazy".
The letters of one column of the solved grid rearrange to spell PATSY and
of another column, CLINE. The letters of one column of the completed Clue
Answers section display what Cline was a member of: GRAND OLE OPRY, while
another Clue Answers column displays the title of a 1985 movie, "SWEET
DREAMS", which was a biopic about Cline, starring Jessica Lange and Ed
Harris.
At age 30, the country music star told a fellow singer, "I've had two bad
ones [accidents]. The third one will either be a charm or it'll kill me."
Shortly thereafter, on March 5, 1963, Cline died in a plane crash along
with country performers Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins. A month later,
her single "Sweet Dreams (Of You)" was released.
In 1973, Patsy Cline, one of the most respected and influential performers
of the 20th century, became the first female solo performer inducted into
the Country Music Hall of Fame.
