Can You Guess These Ladies' Names? Quiz

Answer: Angie

'Angie' was a song by The Rolling Stones. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and featured on their 1973 album 'Goats Head Soup'. The song was released as a single in August 1973, and went to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number, and number five on the UK singles chart.

In Canada and Australia it stayed at number one for five weeks each, and in many countries in Europe and the rest of the world, it also went to the top of the charts. It is one of the few ballads recorded by the Stones, and was later covered by many artists.

Answer: Lucy

'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' was written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was included in The Beatles' 1967 album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

I found an interesting article on Wikipedia that I would like to share with you: "A 3.2 million year-old, 40% complete fossil skeleton of an Australopithecus afarensis specimen discovered in 1974 was named 'Lucy' because The Beatles' song was being played loudly and repeatedly on a tape recorder in the camp. The phrase 'Lucy in the skies' became 'Lucy in disguise' to the anthropologists, because they initially did not understand the impact of their discovery."

Answer: Eleanor

'Eleanor Rigby', a song by The Beatles, was released on the 1966 album 'Revolver' and at the same time on a 45 rpm single. It was written by Paul McCartney. The song was later recorded by a great number of artists and used in many live performances.

"Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?"

Answer: Alice

'All the Girls Love Alice' was from the double album 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', released in 1973. It tells the (made up) tragic story of a young lesbian who died in the streets.

"Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday, oh, they found you in the subway dead."

Answer: May

The song 'Maggie May' by Rod Stewart was recorded in 1971, for his album 'Every Picture Tells a Story', when he was the lead singer of The Faces. The song was also released as the B-side of 'Reason to Believe', as the record company didn't think it could become a hit, but disc jockeys played it until it became a huge hit in England and the US and Canada.

"Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used".

Answer: Johanna

'Visions of Johanna' by Bob Dylan is from the 1966 album 'Blonde on Blonde'. Originally titled 'Seems Like a Freeze-Out', it was later renamed 'Mother Revisited' by Dylan.


"The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain."

Answer: Judy

'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes', a four-part song, was written by Stephen Stills and performed by Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was included in the group's 1969 debut album, and was also released as a single the same year. The title is in reference to Stephen Stills' former girlfriend, Judy Collins, and her pretty blue eyes are mentioned in the title.

Answer: Mandy

'I'm Mandy, Fly Me', together with 'Art for Art's Sake', was one of the top hits of the album 'How Dare You!', released in January 1976 by the British group 10cc. The idea came from a National Airlines poster of a beautiful stewardess leading passengers to an airplane, and the onlooker thinking he will never have the chance to get aboard.

"Just like a rollin' stone
I'm outside lookin' in
But if your chance came would you take it
Where on earth do I begin
I'm Mandy fly me".

Answer: Mary

'The Wind Cries Mary' by The Jimi Hendrix Experience was the band's third single, and was released on May 5, 1967, to become one of the first British hits for Hendrix. The song was released in the United States as B-side of 'Purple Haze', in June 1967.

"Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with his crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary".

Answer: Molly

'Good Golly Miss Molly' was a hit rock 'n' roll song written by John Marascalco and Robert "Bumps" Blackwell, and recorded in 1958 by the American musician Little Richard. The song became a rock 'n' roll standard and has been covered by a great number of artists.

"Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
A-When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call."
