Who's Sorry Now? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Connie Francis

"Who's Sorry Now" by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Ted Snyder was a standard when Connie Francis recorded it, having been written in 1923. Unlike Connie's record, which reached Number four on the Billboard 100 chart, Marie's version only peaked at Number forty.

It did better on Billboard's Country chart, making it to Number twenty-nine and the Adult Contemporary (Easy Listening) chart, where it peaked at Number twenty-one.

Answer: False

Both Country & Western star Eddy Arnold in 1948 and Pop idol Eddie Fisher in 1951 had successful records with "Anytime," written by Herbert "Happy" Lawson in 1921. The arrangement used by Marie has a definite Country feel, reminiscent of Arnold's recording.

Answer: This I Promise You

"This I Promise You" by Ronald C. Myers appeared on the B-side of "Who's Sorry Now," the only single released from this album. For my money, it is by far the prettiest song on the album. Marie performs it with a maturity and poise not apparent in the album's other tracks, as well as with a sweet sincerity that never fails to make my eyes mist.

She sang the song on "The Donny & Marie Show," January 21, 1977.

Answer: Love Letters in the Sand

Written by J. Fred Coots, Charles F. Kenny and Nick A. Kenny, "Love Letters in the Sand" is a 1931 song. Initially recorded by Gene Austin, it is perhaps best known by Pat Boone's 1957 Number One hit. The arrangement Marie uses has a '50s vibe, though it is not identical to Boone's.

Answer: No

Jimmy Work's 1955 song "Making Believe" describes the forlorn fantasy life of someone whose love is gone forever.

Answer: The Things I Tell My Pillow

Sonny James and Jim Jones wrote "The Things I Tell My Pillow." The other choices don't appear in the song. As far as I know, none of them is a song title.

Answer: A broken heart

Though all these items are mentioned in the lyrics, the song concludes with the line:

"I find a broken heart among my souvenirs"

The song was written in 1927 by Edgar Leslie and Horatio Nicholls. It is a Pop standard that has been recorded by the likes of Connie Francis and the redoubtable Frank Sinatra.

Answer: Both

The 1944 song "Jealous Heart" by Jenny Carson is fairly unusual in that the song's title appears as both its first and last lyric, as well as recurring throughout the course of the lyric.

Answer: No

The track starts cold, that is immediately with the song being sung. Also, unlike many vocal recordings, this track does not include an instrumental interlude.

"Clinging Vine" was written by Leon Carr, Gary Lane and Earl Shuman.

Answer: Make me love you so

The simple yet touching "It's the Little Things," written by Sonny James in 1967, catalogues the everyday actions that make the beloved dear and "make me love you so."
