Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Run to Him

'Run to Him' was a #6 hit for Bobby Vee, and the fifth of his seven top ten entries in the UK.

2. Same idea as question one - 'They say I'll love again some day a truer love will come my way'...

Answer: The Next Time

Coupled with "Bachelor Boy", 'The Next Time' was a #1 hit for Cliff Richard and the Shadows in 1962!

3. Again, complete the lyric to get the title - 'What am I supposed to do with a girl like...'

The Casuals had just the one top ten entry, and 'Jesamine' was it. It got to #2 in 1968.

Answer: Frankie Vaughan

It was Vaughan's second number one in Britain, his first being 'The Garden of Eden' in 1957.

Answer: Kites

A 1967 #9 for Simon DuPree and The Big Sound.

6. Which of these Adam Faith songs got to #2?
