Soft, silky smooth voice - reminds one of another legend, Nat King Cole.

5. Barbra Streisand has also had a long career. Many will immediately think of 'Funny Girl' when they hear her name. Which of these songs is NOT from the movie?

Minnelli and Luft came later. There were other husbands also, but Arnstein wasn't one of them - he married Fanny Brice. (See 'Funny Girl'.) Great talent - but, what a tough, sad life.

Answer: Track 29, a quarter to four

Big Band stuff. 'Track 29, boy you can give me a shine'. And: 'You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four'.
9. The Beach Boys have been around forever. Many consider 'Pet Sounds' to be their best album. Which of the following songs is NOT in it?

Answer: I Get Around

As I said, around forever. Hard times for Brian Wilson, however.
10. Elvis Presley made a number of movies. Which one co-starred Ann-Margret?

Answer: Viva Las Vegas

'Speedway' was with Nancy Sinatra. 'Fun' was with Ursula Andress. 'Star' was with Barbara Eden. What can you say about the talent - or the life?
