They're G,G Great (The Music Edition) Quiz

Answer: Glenn Gould

Gould had an incredible talent, although his family tree may have given him a slight advantage over us mere mortals as his mother's grandfather was first cousin to Edvard Grieg. His talents were responsible for him being nominated for six Juno Awards, winning three, and four Grammys, winning all four as well as a posthumous one in 2013.

In 1970 he was to be honoured with a Companion of the Order of Canada award by the government of Canada for his services to music, but he declined the offer, feeling that at age 38, he was too young to receive it.

Answer: Gloria Gaynor

That massive hit for Miss Gaynor was of course "I Will Survive" which is still popular today as a gay anthem. Many artists have covered the song, including Billie Jo Spears, Cake, The Puppini Sisters, Shirley Bassey, Demi Lovato and Chantay Savage.

Answer: Graham Gouldman

The early 1970s were the heyday for 10cc as they hit the UK charts with tracks such as "Rubber Bullets" (1973), "Donna" (1972) and "Life Is A Minestrone" (1975) as well as having two top ten hits in USA with "I'm Not In Love" (1975) and "The Things We Do For Love" (1976).

The original band split up in 1976 with Kevin Godley and Lol Creme branching out as a duo while Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman continued as 10cc with session musicians until 1983 when they disbanded. In 1999, Graham Gouldman formed a new version of 10cc without any other original members, who although they have not recorded any new material continue to perform live to thousands of fans each year.

Answer: George Gershwin

"Rhapsody In Blue" is probably Gershwin's best known piece, and is often cited as the perfect example of how to blend classical music with jazz, while "I Got Rhythm" is a jazz classic and famed for its many rhythm changes. It came from the musical, "Girl Crazy" (1930) and was originally sung on Broadway by Ethel Merman.

Answer: Gareth Gates

Voting in the "Pop Idol" final was tight, but Young took it with 4.6 million votes, or 53% of the vote, although I don't think Gates will have thought of himself as a loser as first "Unchained Melody", then "Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)" (2002) and his duet version "The Long and Winding Road" (2002) with Will Young all hit number one in UK.

Answer: Guy Garvey

Elbow won two Ivor Novello awards for the song "One Day Like This" (2008) and another one for "Grounds For Divorce" (2008), both Guy Garvey compositions. The kids TV show "Bedtime Stories" sees various celebrities reading a story to child viewers and Garvey has read "Mr Big" by Ed Vere and "Farmer Joe and the Music Show" by Tony Mitton and Guy Parker-Rees among others.

He also appeared as a recurring character in the smash Peter Kay comedy "Car Share" in 2017.

Answer: Gina G

Gina Gardiner, better known as Gina G, was born in Brisbane and became a respected DJ on the Melbourne dance scene before moving to UK in 1995. "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" achieved something very rarely done by Eurovision entries, when it charted in USA, eventually reaching number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It was a number one in the charts in UK, Scotland and Israel as well as reaching number two on the Canadian dance charts. It also did well in Gina's homeland, peaking at number five on the Australian charts.

Answer: Greg Graffin

Bad Religion's biggest hit was "21st Century (Digital Boy)" in 1994 which reached number 41 in UK chart and number 11 in the American alternative rock chart. Graffin obtained his bachelor's and master's at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) before going on to earn his PhD at Cornell. He taught natural science courses at UCLA in 2009 and at Cornell in 2011.

Answer: Gilberto Gil

Gil is an incredibly talented musician, proficient in traditional Brazilian musical genres such as tropicalia, samba and forro as well as rock and reggae. He entered politics in 1987, and continues to combine his political life with touring and recording.

Answer: Gerry Goffin

Gerry Goffin co wrote the tracks "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", "Smackwater Jack" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" from King's 1971 mega selling "Tapestry" album, as well as hits by artists such as the Drifters, Gladys Knight and Diana Ross. When he died in 2014, King paid tribute, saying "Gerry's words expressed what so many people were feeling but didn't know how to say".
