Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We all remember Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, and their 1964 smash hit "Little Children", but how about the follow-up tune which also scored pretty high on the U.S. charts? What was it?

Answer: Bad To Me

Kramer was from Liverpool, and was discovered by Brian Epstein, and was produced by George Martin, and so, was able to use some songs that were written by but not recorded by The Beatles. "Little Children" was a number seven hit in the U.S. and reached number one in the U.K., although it was perceived to be very controversial due to the lyrics. "Bad To Me" was actually released in the U.K. in 1963, and was a number one hit there.

In the U.S., it was released as a follow-up in 1964, and peaked at number nine on the charts.

Answer: Last Chance To Turn Around

Pitney's "Town Without Pity" hit number 13 in the fall of 1961, and "Liberty Valance" was a number four hit in 1962. He had some lesser entries on the Billboard charts during 1963, but was still going strong in 1964, as evidenced by "It Hurts To Be In Love" hitting number seven in the fall that year.

The song here, "Last Chance To Turn Around" was a spring 1965 entry that hit number 13 on the charts. He did have one other entry in the late 60s, called "Heartbreaker" which did fairly well, peaking at number 16.

Answer: Ebb Tide

Number one for "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", number four for "Unchained Melody", number one for "Soul and Inspiration", and a surprising number five, for "Ebb Tide". Also if you're curious, "Little Latin Lupe Lu", was actually their first charted hit in 1963, and only reached number 49.

Answer: Rhapsody In The Rain

Using that falsetto voice of his, he followed the number one hit "Lightning Strikes" with this hit in early 1966. Its high point on the charts was number 16. If you've forgotten, the loose theme of the song is about making love in a car, in the rain of course. Lou would have one more Top Ten hit, but he had to wait until 1969 for "I'm Gonna Make You Mine".

Answer: Beg, Borrow and Steal

Long live Buddah Records. All the kings of Bubble Gum music recorded on Buddah. These guys went to number four with "Yummy" that year, and followed up with "Chewy Chewy" at number 15 later that year, but it was "Beg Borrow and Steal" which put them on the charts first, reaching number 29 in late 1967.

Answer: Indian Giver

"Indian Giver, Indian Giver, you took your love away from me". Wow, what heart wrenching lyrics. The state of music was such that this song charted at number five on Billboard's Top 100. "Simon Says" was a number four hit, and "1-2-3 Red Light" went to number five as well.

7. Keep chewing or get another piece. More gum here. In 1969, The Archies, of course, had "Sugar Sugar", but what did they follow up with?

Answer: Jingle Jangle

Long live Ron Dante. After "Sugar Sugar" reached number one on the charts, the studio musicians led by Dante, Jeff Barry, Andy Kim, and others from time to time, actually had to cut other records. "Jingle Jangle" came from this and reached number ten as the follow-up.

Incidentally, "Sugar" was the number one song for the year of 1969, according to Billboard, making it the only time in history a fictitious group claimed the number one spot.

Answer: Easy Come, Easy Go

Sherman was a house singer on "Shindig", a music-dance show of the mid 60s and tried to get a hit record for a few years, with little success. Then he got a part as an actor on the TV series called "Here Come The Brides". Teenage girls fell in love with him, and that's all he needed for musical success. "Little Woman" was a number three hit, "Julie (Do Ya Love Me)", went to number five, and this song peaked at number nine.

Answer: Love Is All Around

This song was the third and final Top 40 hit. "Wild Thing" in 1967 could only muster a chart position of number seven. The Troggs never had any other Top 40 entries.

Answer: Soul Deep

Alex Chilton led the group who came right out of the box with "The Letter" in 1967 and went right to the top of the charts. "Neon Rainbow " was the follow-up and that narrowly missed the Top 20, but as 1967 turned to 1968, "Cry Like A Baby" shot to number two on the charts. They released a few more songs in the next 12 months, including a song called "Sweet Cream Ladies/Forward March" with limited success, until 1969 yielded this song "Soul Deep" which went to number 18.

Just a note, if you really want to say "Oh Wow" most of these songs can be found on You Tube.
