Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This duo is probably more famous for their signature song, "Love Will Keep Us Together," but holds spot #20 on the list with "Do That to Me One More Time." Who are they?

Answer: Captain and Tenille

Daryl Dragon and Toni Tenille are a husband and wife team who had a string of hit singles in the mid-1970's. They received a Grammy for "Love Will Keep Us Together," which was written by Neil Sadaka.

2. Michael Bolton co-wrote this song for Laura Branigan, and later recorded it himself. What is this song that sits at #19 on VH1's list?

Answer: How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?

Michael Bolton is not only an award-winning singer, but a prolific songwriter. Among his successes are "I Found Someone," (Cher) and "Steel Bars"(with Bob Dylan).

3. #18 is a song that won a Record of the Year Grammy Award in 1982, and was written about a real person, actress Rosanna Arquette. What is the name of this song by Toto?

Answer: Rosanna

Although Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro was the one dating Rosanna Arquette at the time, David Paich, the leader of Toto, was the one who wrote this song.
Toto still tours, and popular myth says it got its name when Jeff Porcaro, having recently watched "The Wizard of Oz," wrote "Toto" on their demo tapes to distinguish them from other bands in the studio.

4. Juice Newton had a 1981 hit cover version of this song about a one-night stand, which is #17 on the "Softsational" list.

Answer: Angel of the Morning

"Angel of the Morning" was a hit song the first time in 1968, when Merilee Rush and the Turnabouts released it. It has since been covered by over 20 other artists.

Answer: Baby I'm-A Want You

"Baby I'm-A Want You" peaked at #3 on the Billboard top 100 in late 1971.

6. The power ballad "Open Arms" is about lovers struggling to reconcile, and was #19 on VH1's list. What rock band recorded it in 1982?

Answer: Journey

Mariah Carey also recorded a very popular version of "Open Arms." It is definitely a classic, performed in films, at proms, and on many "best of" lists.

Answer: The Carpenters

The Carpenters' sound was built around Karen's crystal-clear voice, and I can only imagine the added success she and Richard would have had if she had lived. Richard heard the then relatively unknown Bette Midler sing "Superstar" on "The Tonight Show" and was excited to arrange and record it.

9. The Starland Vocal Band was a "one-hit wonder" with this song, which was one of the biggest selling singles of 1976. What was this song that is #12 on the "Softsational" list?
