| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Mar 06 01:37PM -0600 Congratulations to DEC & Friends, Delphi Trivia Club, and Village Idiots, who tied for first place with perfect scores. Just off the pace was Really Rockin' In Boston, who missed only a single tie-breaker. Several entrants mentioned that this quiz was on the difficult side, which was not intentional. What was intentional was the inclusion of four songs (#04, 11, 18, 22) that paid tribute to recently-departed artists. Song #T1 indirectly falls into this category as well. After each song, I've given one or more audio links, if available. Sound quality and permanence of links are not guaranteed. As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The March 2015 quiz (GOLQ #338) will be posted soon. -- Howard Teitelbaum <golq337@golq.org> _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: + indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly. - indicates partial credit. x indicates a totally incorrect guess. . indicates no guess.

The 2nd link above contains his entire 1964 album; this song starts at time 19:48, and runs about 10 minutes. The Stones recorded "Prodigal Son" (highly abridged from Wilkins' version) for their 1968 album, "Beggars Banquet."
