Whose Is That Lady II? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lou Rawls

The song appeared on Lou's 1977 album 'When You Hear Lou, You've Heard it All'. It was released as a single, and was reasonably successful for him. His other hits include 'Love is a Hurtin' Thing' from 1966 and 'You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine' from 1976.

Answer: Beyoncé

Having made her name in the group Destiny's Child, Beyoncé went on to establish a stellar solo career from 2003, although the band did not officially break up until 2006. Her first big solo hit came with 'Crazy in Love' in 2003. The song featured Jay-Z, and he and Beyoncé married in 2008. 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' came out in 2008.

Answer: Vic Dana

The song was written in 1948 and has been recorded by several artists, including Dean Martin. The Vic Dana version was released in 1965 and reached number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Vic's most successful recording. His first career was as a tap dancer, with Sammy Davis Jr. being his mentor.

Answer: Kenny Rogers

As I'm sure you know, there is quite a long list of songs with this title, but I've chosen this one as it was written by Lionel Richie. Rogers was better known for his country songs, so this was something of a departure for him. It was a successful one, with the single reaching the top of the US Billboard Hot 100. Among Kenny's more country orientated hits are 'Coward of the County' from 1979 and 'Lucille' from 1977.

Answer: Kool and the Gang

The song was the title track of the album released in 1979 and the single reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number none on the UK Singles Chart. The band was formed by brothers Ronald and Robert Bell and had numerous hits during the 1970s and 1980s.

They are still going strong in the 2010s. Among their other hits are 'Celebration' from 1980 and 'Get Down on It' from 1981.

Answer: Frank Sinatra

The song comes from the musical 'Guys and Dolls' and was written in 1950. Marlon Brando sang it in the film version of the show, in 1955. It is most associated with Frank Sinatra, becoming something of a 'signature song' for him.

Answer: Chris de Burgh

Often quoted as being a 'breakthrough' hit for de Burgh, the song was inspired by his wife. It became a hit in 1986, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. Other hits for Chris include 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' in 1975 and 'Don't Pay the Ferryman', a 1982 hit.

Answer: Johnnie Taylor

This 1976 single was the only one of Johnnie's to make any impact in the UK, and then only managed a rather lowly number twenty-five on the charts. It was a different story in his home country, though, with 'Disco Lady' hitting the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 and many other hits on the R & B Charts.

Answer: Jan and Dean

You remember this - 'Go, Granny, go Granny, go Granny go' as the lyrics described the 'little old lady' who had a lovely garden and a souped up car which she drove at excessive speed. Jan and Dean were best known for their 'surfing' songs, with 'Surf City' reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1964.

The song itself was co-written by Jan Berry and Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. 'The Little Old Lady from Pasadena' was also partly written by Berry and was a 1964 hit for the duo.

Answer: Bob Dylan

Saving the best until the end, this was, of course, written and performed by Bob Dylan. The song was released as a single in 1969 and reached the top ten on the US Billboard Hot 100. 'Lay Lady Lay' has been recorded by other artists, including The Everly Brothers and Duran Duran. Dylan's song writing talents were recognised by the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.
