Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which band featured the late Gene Eugene as its frontman?

Answer: Adam Again

Until his death in 2000, Gene was also a member of the Lost Dogs, along with Terry Taylor of Daniel Amos, Derri Daugherty of the Choir, and Mike Roe of the 77s.

2. What talking hymnal and friend to children everywhere had three kids of his own and a book-of-poetry wife?

Answer: Psalty

Rhythm was Psalty's son, brother to twins Melody and Harmony. Their mother was Psaltina. Don't you miss that wacky family of books? Let's all sing "The Body Song"!

3. Whose discography included such classic songs as "People In a Box", "Hosanna Gloria", and "Ransom"?

Answer: Farrell and Farrell

This husband and wife duo, Bob and Jayne, recorded several albums in the 70s and 80s, including "Jump to Conclusions" and "Manifesto."

4. Which of these wordsmiths, when not recording his own material, worked with Tonio K., Julie Miller, and the Choir?

Answer: Mark Heard

The prolific Mr. Heard was mostly regarded for his lyrics; however, he engineered, produced, and sang for a large body of artists, as well. No wonder he is so greatly missed by so many! Taylor, Stonehill, and Bennett were also friends and collaborators, along with Bruce Cockburn, Victoria Williams, T-Bone Burnett, and countless others.

5. Which Petra album included the classics "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You" and "Hollow Eyes"?

Answer: Beat the System

Petra's great 1984 album "Beat the System" also featured "Witch Hunt", "Computer Brains", and the hit title track.

6. Which song by Larry Norman did DC Talk cover on a 1995 tribute (that also featured Geoff Moore and Rebecca St. James)?

Answer: I Wish We'd All Been Ready

DC Talk's rendition of "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" was the last track on the Larry Norman tribute entitled "One Way." Geoff Moore covered "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music" for the same album.

7. Keith Green wrote the song "Awesome God", which would later be heard in churches and youth groups across the nation.

Answer: False

The churches and youth groups part might be accurate, but the song was actually written by another late-great CCM artist...Rich Mullins.

8. Which of these bands spent most of their time singin' it a cappella?

Answer: Glad

While the other bands might very well have EXPERIMENTED with a cappella vocals on certain songs, Glad was a purely a cappella group... they didn't need any instruments!

9. What band's song "Let the Day Begin" was incorporated in Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign?

Answer: The Call

This song by Michael Been's band was also a minor Billboard hit in the late 1980s.

Answer: Michael Card and Amy Grant

Michael Card wrote the song and his version is lovely; however, Amy's recording is quite popular in its own right!
