Three Dog Night's version was a smash hit for the group, spending two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in July of 1970.

Answer: Apricot

Ever since the release of "You're So Vain" there has been speculation as to who the song is about. Names that have been mentioned include, Mick Jagger, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Warren Beatty. Simon has stated that the song is not about one man, but three separate individuals.

In an interview with People magazine in November of 2015, she did confirm that the second verse was about Beatty, but she would not say who the other two men were. "You're So Vain" was Simon's most successful single and her only chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100, spending the first three weeks of 1973 at number one.

Answer: Brenda Lee

Formed in 1961 in South Holland, Golden Earring was extremely popular in their homeland, placing 18 singles inside the top 20 on the Dutch Top 40 charts between 1965 and 1972. "Radar Love" would become the group's breakout hit, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number seven on the UK Singles Chart. Brenda Lee released her first single in 1956 when she was only 12 years old.

The following year she recorded and released the song "Dynamite", which due to her young age and the fact that she only stood 4 feet 9 inches tall, earned her the nickname of Little Miss Dynamite.

Answer: Mister Sunshine

After achieving international success during the latter part of the 1960s, group member Robin Gibb left the band in mid 1969 to embark on a solo career.

"Killer Queen" was recorded for Queen's third studio album "Sheer Heart Attack", and was given a singles release in October of 1974, as part of a double A-side along with another track from the LP "Flick of the Wrist". The song went on to become the band's breakthrough hit, reaching number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May of 1975.

It was also an international hit, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart, while also reaching the top ten in several other countries. Written entirely by lead singer and pianist Freddie Mercury, "Killer Queen" was one of the first songs to feature the amazing harmonies that would become the group's trademark.

"Rock'n Me" was the second single released from the Steve Miller Band's extremely successful 1976 LP "Fly Like an Eagle". The song went on to become the band's second number one on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the chart for one week in November of 1976. If the opening guitar riff from the song sounds a bit familiar, there's a good reason. Miller has admitted that he based it on the guitar part that was prominently featured in the 1970 hit "All Right Now" by the British rock band Free.

Answer: 1962

"Night Moves" was based on a romantic relationship Seger had with a young lady he met in the early 1960s in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Released in December of 1976, "Night Moves" climbed the Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at number four in the Spring of 1977. Seger has stated in numerous interviews that the 1962 song he was humming was a reference to "Be My Baby" by The Ronnettes, even though that song wasn't released until the Summer of 1963.

Answer: Let it Be

Simon had always been a fan of reggae music and in particular Jimmy Cliff, so he decided to write a song in that musical style.

I gotta use that one."
