Some of the songs in this quiz were used on past GOLQs. This quiz has no theme, but one minor attribute which may or may not be of use: The great majority of recordings herein either cracked the Billboard pop top-20 or never escaped the nether regions of the chart.

Your participation or performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking. Who Said It? --- ---- --- Can you identify the speakers in these rock 'n' roll-related quotes?: 1. "It's just entertainment, and the kids who like to identify their youthful high spirits with a solid beat are thus possibly avoiding other pursuits that could be harmful to them." 2. "It's generally thought that I discovered Diana Ross and the Supremes. Strictly speaking, that's not quite true. They discovered me." 3. "Audiences are very much like the kids at Tommy's Holiday Camp. They want something without working for it." 4. "Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me." 5. "It took people like Elvis to open the door for this kind of music, and I thank God for Elvis Presley." 6. "What's kept me going is the same thing that got me to write 'Surfin' all those years ago. I wanted to write joyful music that made other people feel good. Music that helps and heals, because I believe that music is God's voice." 7. "We like this kind of music. Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes." 8. "Art Tatum - he was a genius. And Einstein. Not me." 9. (Commenting on her group's big hit:) "Though we were starting to have definite confusion in different cities, I think the writers were inspired mainly because of this to try and get people to dance and be happy rather than riot." 10. (In response to the recording session producer's offer, "If there's anything you don't like, tell me, and we'll try and do something about it.":) "Well, for a start, I don't like your tie." Entrants are also invited to send in their favorite rock 'n' roll- related quotes (with who said them!), some of which may be included in this quiz's Answer Key/Results. ________________________________________________________________________ Please fill in the following information at the end of each line: Name(s) = E-mail address = Age(s) [will be published if provided] = Number of people (including you) who contributed to your answers = ________________________________________________________________________
