Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This one hit wonder had her 15 minutes of fame with a song called "Mama Didn't Lie" (she didn't lie). Who was she?

Answer: Jan Bradley

This is a great song and Jan had a great set of pipes. Too bad she never found another tune that would move her short career forward.

2. Lesley Gore had a hit with "It's My Party". What was her follow up?

Answer: Judy's Turn To Cry

In "It's My Party", Judy walks in thinking she's all that but Ms. Gore got her revenge making "Judy's Turn to Cry".

3. "I see the lights, I see the party lights. They're red and blue and green." Who could see the party but couldn't attend?

Answer: Claudine Clark

Yeah, Claudine's mother wouldn't let her "make the scene." Parents can be hazardous to your health when you're only sixteen.

4. "I love him, I love him and where he goes I'll follow..." How times have changed. Who had the buffo hit "I Will Follow Him".

Answer: Little Peggy March

No longer known as "Little" Peggy March, this tune reflected a time when teen girls would follow their guys anywhere.

5. "A thousand stars in the sky, make me realize, you are the one love that I adore.." An early classic from the Golden Age of girl singers, who hit the charts with this humble tune.

Answer: Kathy Young

A great love ballad that Kathy is still singing today on the oldies circuit. Still a great tune.

6. Let's not forget girl groups. This group's first crossover hit was the lyrically titled "I Sold My Heart to The Junkman" (yeah) Who were these singers of early soul.

Answer: Patti Labelle and the Blue Belles

Today's diva, Patti Labelle began her career with a song about the junkman and she's still got it today.

7. The Marvelettes had a hit with this tune titled after a telephone number. What was that number?

Answer: Beechwood 4-5789

"And my number is Beechwood 4-5789, you can call me up and have a date any ol' time." That's putting it out there, eh?

8. "I Met Him on Monday and my heart stood still." The Crystals followed up "He's a Rebel" with "Da-Doo-Run-Run." So what was the name of the boy who made her heart stand still?

Answer: Bill

The Crystals employed Phil Spector's solid wall of sound to the max on all of their tunes and all of their tunes are still toe-tappers.

9. "Be my, be my baby now." Straight to the point. What girl group had a hit with "Be My Baby".

Answer: The Ronettes

Ronnie Specter fronted for the Ronnettes and had to take Spector to court for back royalties on the hits this group had.

10. "Popsicles, icicles, these are a few of the things he loves." You can hear it in your head but can you name the performer(s)?

Answer: The Murmaids

A sweet song, but oh so dated. Listening to these oldies makes you realize just how much things have changed - thankfully!
