Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Sometimes When We Touch'

Answer: Dan Hill

Good song by an interesting guy - bi-racial background. Keith was also a one-hit wonder. Goldsboro had a few; Taylor did 'Indiana Wants Me'.

2. 'Blue Moon'

Answer: Marcels

Interesting rendition. Diamonds did 'Little Darlin'. Crests had a few; Toys did 'Lovers' Concerto'

3. 'Come Go With Me'

Answer: Dell Vikings

One of the best of the do-wop sounds. Fleetwoods had a nice mellow sound: 'Mr Blue' and 'Come Softly'

4. 'Laugh Laugh', 'Just a Little'

Answer: Beau Brummels

Okay: this is two hits by the same group. Freddie did 'I'm Telling You Now'

5. 'Friday on My Mind'

Answer: Easybeats

All of the other choices are also one-hit groups.

6. 'Build Me Up, Buttercup'

Answer: Foundations

Breed did 'Bend Me, Shape Me'

7. 'Honeycomb', 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

Answer: Jimmy Rodgers

Okay: two songs - although some players have pointed out that he charted more than that. Mitchell had one or two hits; Rivers and Pitney had several. Rodgers was never quite the same after he was attacked.

8. 'Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye'

Answer: Casinos

Good song. Coasters did 'Charlie Brown'; Harvest did 'Dancing in the Moonlight'.
