Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A song from a Broadway musical and movie includes these lyrics: "It only takes a moment, to be loved your whole life through". What show and movie is "It Only Takes a Moment" from?

Answer: Hello Dolly

The first Broadway production of "Hello Dolly" starred Carol Channing in the title role. Other stars followed her, and the movie version starred Barbra Streisand. The production I saw starred the wonderful Mary Martin.

2. This song is a wonderful standard which has been performed by many artists; my favorite is by Ella Fitzgerald. The lyrics start: "From this moment on, you for me dear Only two for tea dear, from this moment on" Who wrote this great song?

Answer: Cole Porter

"From This Moment On" was only one of the almost l,000 songs written by the great American songwriter, Cole Porter. It can be heard in the 1953 film,
"Kiss Me Kate", and was first recorded by Doris Day in 1950.

Cole Porter had an interesting life and this life was the basis for two films, "Night and Day" (1946) starring Cary Grant, and "De-Lovely" starring Kevin Kline. "Night and Day" was not very true to the life of Porter, probably because it had restrictions about telling the truth about his homosexuality.
"De-Lovely" was a truer depiction.

You can find a list of his huge number of songs on the "Cole Porter Songlist Page".

Billy Vera continued his music career and became an important figure in popular music.

Answer: Bumming Around

This song was written by a little-known songwriter and band leader, Pete Graves. He was from a small town, White Salmon, Washington. As a teen, I used
to go to dances where Pete Graves and the Bunkhouse Buddies played. "Bumming Around" was his greatest claim to fame.

8. Which word completes the song title in this 1921 song, written for the Broadway show, "Shufflin' Along"? "I'm Just ________ About Harry"

Answer: Drink of wine

George Jones is and was one of the greatest country singers. He has a very twangy voice that on him, sounds good. He got a lot of publicity from his on-off relationship with ex-wife, singer Tammy Wynette. He is known as "Ole Possum".

10. For Bob Dylan fans, one of his great songs from the 60s was "Just Like a Woman". Finish this verse with the next few words: "She takes just like a woman, yes she does She makes love just like a woman, yes she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just _________________".

Answer: like a little girl

"Just Like a Woman" was a Dylan song that kept people guessing. Just who was it about? Although he didn't like people to try and figure out his songs, they did anyway. Some think it was about the famous folksinger, Joan Baez, while others
were convinced it was Edie Sedgwick of Andy Warhol fame.

Written in 1965, later it was covered by many other artists (Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, etc,) It was recorded on Dylan's album, "Blonde on Blonde" and is worth a listen on You Tube.
