If you meant "has just one vowel", why didn't you just *say* "has just one vowel" instead of adding that misleading note? I stopped when I got to Cyprus because I assumed it was the intended answer. Checking by computer search, I find that there are in fact two *more* countries have each have one or more Y's but only one other vowel. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Winning isn't everything, but not trying to win msb@vex.net | is less than nothing." --Anton van Uitert My text in this article is in the public domain. |

Just behind was Really Rockin' In Boston, who missed only one tie-breaker. The quiz's minor theme - one I wish were sparser - was the recent passing of a number of artists & composers. As the GOLQ series nears its 25th anniversary, the people who made this music (and its fans) are inevitably aging. The theme was intended to encompass songs #03, 04, 05, 14, 15, 16, 22, and 23. Song #20 became part of this theme during the run of the quiz. The theme was identified by entrants EJ, RR, MW, VS, WM, CO, and NA. 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!

"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart. (Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65, so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)

You're so pretty, you're so fine I wonder will I ever make you mine Things I wanna say, things I wanna do But most of all, I wanna fall in love with you #02) Hank Ballard and The Midnighters: "Nothing But Good" (1961) [49] {9} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSvvR27QegI Heaven is in your eyes Bright as the stars we're under Oh, is there any wonder? #03) The Chimes: "I'm In The Mood For Love" (1961) [38] {-} <310> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWD05Nx3ywI (Frances Langford, 1935) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNeqHqcL9tE (Chimes, 1961) Lenny Cocco, the group's lead singer, died on 5/8/15 at 78. Both of their charting hits (the other being "Once in Awhile") were remakes of standards from the '30s. This one was first recorded by Frances Langford in 1935, from the movie "Every Night at Eight." Well, now, hey-hey, baby, hey-hey, now What you tryin' to do, huh? Hey-hey, baby, hey-hey, now Please don't say we're through #04) Don Covay & The Goodtimers: "Mercy, Mercy" (1964) [35] {n/c} <82> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhQ2GWPwn-Q Don, who died 1/31/15 at 78, co-wrote this song. Minus one point if you forgot The Goodtimers. Are you sure that I'm not the one? Is your love real or only fun? #05) The Crickets: "Think It Over" (1958) [27] {-} <41><150> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqSDk_1CLU The group's bassist, Joe B. Mauldin, died 2/7/15 at 74.

He also suggests that "leave me worried" should be "make me worry"; I'm still on the fence on this, despite repeated listening. Can't get the car, my marks ain't been so good My love life just ain't swingin' like it should #08) The Everly Brothers: "Problems" (1958) [2] {-} <48><252> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viS6szdHPXE Uncertain, he tags along behind Uncertain, 'til she makes up his mind #09) Eddie Fisher: "A Man Chases A Girl (Until She Catches Him)" (1955) [16] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCPj9cAzZxc Uncredited backing vocals by his then-wife Debbie Reynolds.

(One little kiss) The kissin' you do, I need a second helpin' too (Need a second helpin', need a second helpin' too) #13) Jay and The Techniques: "Keep The Ball Rollin'" (1967/68) [14] {-} <7><90><277> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XzmL4GwP40 Although I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be #14) B. B. King: "The Thrill Is Gone" (1969/70) [15] {3} <76><242> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr2ZUJPonF8 (Roy Hawkins, 1951) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oica5jG7FpU (B. B. King, 1969) The great B.B. died on 5/14/15 at age 89. We saw him about a year earlier, during what proved to be his final tour. He played beautifully but briefly, and was clearly very frail. His music will "still live on." This song was co-written by Roy Hawkins, who first recorded it in 1951 (a #6 R&B hit). No, I won't be afraid Oh, I won't be afraid #15) Ben E. King: "Stand By Me" (1961,1986/87) [4,9] {1,-} <35><152> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntDHda2XwTE (Pace Jubilee Singers, 1928) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbg7YoXiKn0 (Ben E. King, 1961) Ben E. King (Benjamin Earl Nelson) died 4/30/15 at 76. This was his signature song, co-written with Leiber & Stoller. It was a hit again in 1986 when it was featured in the movie of the same name. It drew inspiration from an earlier gospel tune of the same name, written in 1905 by the Rev. Charles Albert Tindley. (This song's title is sometimes given as "Lord, Stand By Me" or "Stand By Me, Father.") The first link is a 1928 recording by the Pace Jubilee Singers. Was I surprised, yeah Was I surprised, no not at all #16) The Left Banke: "Pretty Ballerina" (1967) [15] {-} <17><98><171><239> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OtRUJp83rk The group's keyboardist, Michael Brown, died 3/19/15 at 65. He wrote this song and co-wrote the earlier "Walk Away Renee." Both were about Renee Fladen (then the girlfriend of the group's bassist, Tom Finn), on whom Brown had an unrequited crush. We were all alone You told me that you cared (you told me that you cared) And I never will forget How happy I was that we were there #17) The Majors: "A Wonderful Dream" (1962) [22] {23} <5><227> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvJR71wsgM0 Here's our old favorite record I can't stand to hear it anymore Here's some old lingering love It's in my heart and it's tearin' it apart #18) Martha & The Vandellas: "Come And Get These Memories" (1963) [29] {6} <26><149> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUAHikp57m8 Remember the night I met you? We danced until a quarter to two You held my hands and you kissed my lips Baby, what you tryin' to do-woo-woo-woo? #19) Mickey and Sylvia: "Baby You're So Fine" (1961) [52] {27} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBnd1Az1pQ8 (Joe & Ann, 1960) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r41aLIhFlA (Mickey and Sylvia, 1961) An earlier version was recorded in 1960 by Joe & Ann, as "Gee Baby"; theirs bubbled under the pop chart (#106), but was a #14 R&B hit. The lyrics given are unique to the Mickey and Sylvia version. "Don't put your faith in love, my boy" My father said to me #20) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Lemon Tree" (1962) [35] {-} <247> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJKMmdOa4l4 ("Meu Limao, Meu Limoeiro", 1937) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtx1gYOxYI (PP&M, 1962) The original 1937 Brazilian song is "Meu Limao, Meu Limoeiro" (translates to "My Lemon, My Lemon Tree"). In the late '50s, Will Holt wrote English lyrics. He was part of the folk scene in those years, and later wrote extensively for musical theater. He died on May 31 at 86. Holt said that he first heard this song from fellow folkies Gene & Francesca Raskin. Like Holt, Gene Raskin would go on to create a hit by adapting an old foreign tune - in his case, "Those Were the Days" from the 1920's Russian song "Dorogoi Dlinnoyu." Trini Lopez also charted with this song in 1965, but he doesn't fit alphabetically. You told me lies, now it's Your turn to cry, cry, cry #21) Del Shannon: "Hats Off To Larry" (1961) [5] {-} <11><124> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk_FR3341bA For blue-blooded girls of independent means We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive #22) Frank Sinatra: "It Was A Very Good Year" (1965/66) [28] {-} <42><149><205> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjW9WVfkVfU (Kingston Trio, 1961) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emAe6IClGys (Sinatra, 1965) Written by Ervin Drake, who died 1/15/15 at 95. Drake wrote a number of pop/jazz standards starting in the 1940s, such as "Good Morning Heartache." The song was first recorded by The Kingston Trio in 1961, for their album "Goin' Places." Spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs #23) Percy Sledge: "When A Man Loves A Woman" (1966) [1] {1} <4><120> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbWDkg4T3G4 Percy died 4/14/15 at 74. Although not officially credited, he contributed to writing this song. We went to Mama and showed her my diamond ring She said "My poor little baby You must be crazy To think of such a thing" #24) Sue Thompson: "James (Hold The Ladder Steady)" (1962) [17] {-} <146> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWHgguJPBXg As with most of her other big pop hits, written by John D. Loudermilk. Now, you kissed me and you rocked my soul Don't come around knockin' rock and roll #25) Dinah Washington & Brook Benton: "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around And Fall In Love)" (1960) [7] {1} <28><183> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OikmkEJhiGI (Priscilla Bowman, 1958) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkTjhvB23W4 (DW & BB, 1960) Co-written by Brook; originally recorded in 1958 by Priscilla Bowman, backed (uncredited) by The Spaniels. The lyrics given are as first sung by Dinah. Tom (NAVAIRHEADS) noted that when the verse is reprised by Brook, he sings the first line as: "Now that you kissed me and rocked my soul." ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ Smokin' marijuana is more fun than drinkin' beer But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high #T1) Phil Ochs: "Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends" (1968) [118] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEmX_Ml_o2A |
