Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who sang "I Will Follow Him"?

Answer: Little Peggy March

Later used in the Whoopi Goldberg film "Sister Act" as a song to God.

2. What British "bird" sang the original (and in my opinion, highly superior) version of "(There's)Always Somthing There To Remind Me"?

Answer: Sandi Shaw

Sandi was a real favorite of mine. She often appeared onstage barefoot, and had a boyfriend named Duncan. Naked Eyes did another version of this great Bacharach/David song.

3. Who wrote "When You Walk In the Room", (most famously done by The Searchers) and once collaborated on some tunes with Jimmy Page?

Answer: Jackie De Shannon

Marianne Faithfull did a De Shannon/Page song on her first album- "In My Time of Sorrow", as well as the De Shannon composition "Come and Stay With Me." I didn't want anyone to get this wrong by not seperating the "De" and the "Shannon."

4. What James Bond movie title song featured the vocal talents of Shirley Bassey?

Answer: Goldfinger

"Goldfinger beckons you to enter his web of sin, but don't go in!" Who could forget that voice!

5. What 1967 movie featured Judy Geeson and a young Michael Des Barres? (Song and movie, same name)

Answer: To Sir With Love

C'mon! If I'd said Sidney Poitier and/or Lulu, it would have been way too easy.

Answer: Shirelles

The Shirelles were named for member Shirley Owens. Other hits were "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "Soldier Boy."

Answer: Brenda Lee

The very diminutive singer grew up very poor and lost her father at an early age- but could she belt it out!

8. What Girl Group or singer sang 1961's "I've Told Every Little Star"?

Answer: Linda Scott

"I've told every little star just how great I think you are. Why haven't I told you?" Her recordings are still available, according to what I've found here in cyberspace.

9. What group or singer had a hit with Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover"?

Answer: The Paris Sisters

That was their real last name. When I was little, I thought they came from Paris, France!

Vicki Carr had "It Must Be Him", which made me want to vomit, and Shelley Fabares (Mary on "The Donna Reed Show") did "Johnny Angel."

Answer: Barbara Lewis

The great, great Barbara Lewis! Big hit: "Hello Stranger."
