Greeting Music Trivia Peeps! Here is the low-down! [img]wink.gif[/img]

02) Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys indeed wrote the Manilow hit "I Write The Songs."

03) It was indeed The Captain and Tennille who had two versions of the same song "Love Will Keep Us Together/Por Amor Viviremos" in different languages and on different singles, appearing simultaneously on the Hot 100.

14) Strawberry Fields Forever was indeed the Beatles song they recorded two different versions of and which fit perfectly together, in spite of the fact that one was a half-tone higher and slightly faster than the other. This even surprised George Martin, their producer!

15) Cyndi Lauper indeed sang the theme to PeeWee's Playhouse. The opening prelude theme is an interpretation of Martin Denny's "Quiet Village." The theme song, which originally followed the prelude, was performed by Cyndi Lauper (credited as Ellen Shaw).

9 atta-boys for Roger!
4 atta-boys for Todd!

Congrats contestants! You done REAL good!!!

<font size="1">BTW, here are the answers to the remaining questions:

01) <u>John Hall</u>, co-founder of the Rock band Orleans, was elected to US Congress in November, 2006, representing New York's 19th congressional district. That's him you hear doing the slick guitar work on "Still The One" and "Dance With Me".

11) Years before scoring 1972's number one smash "I Can See Clearly Now", Johnny Nash entered a talent show in Houston Texas. He lost to a young Soul singer named <u>Joe Tex</u>, who would have a chart topping hit of his own in 1968 with "Skinny Legs and All".</font>

See ya next game ya'all!

"The Wrecking Crew" documentary!

Imagine if every hit song of the late 50s, 60s, 70s, and even into the 80s was performed by one band. Ridiculous, huh? Well, guess what? It's closer to reality than you may think and it's hard to contain my enthusiasm for this stunning new documentary.

Denny Tedesco chronicles the musical history laid down by his legendary late father Tommy, as well as Hal Blaine and Don Randi, Carol Kaye, Al Casey, Earl Palmer, Plas Johnson, Joe Osborn, and the dozens of others who sat in on the recordings. Known informally as The Wrecking Crew, these session musicians played on so many hit songs that it could be said they had a larger role to play in the culture of the last 50 years than any other group of people in the world. You may not have heard their names, but you've heard their music.

The list of artists whose songs they backed up is amazing: The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Association, Glen Campbell, The Mamas & Papas, The Monkees, Richard Harris, The 5th Dimension, Sam Cooke, Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tennille, The Righteous Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Ike and Tina Turner, Nancy Sinatra, The Carpenters, Tommy Roe, The Ronettes, Paul Revere and The Raiders, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, to name a few. The Wrecking Crew played on almost all their hit songs. To look at the list is to hear the soundtrack of your life, whether you're 15 or 85 -- you know these songs.

No matter what your age, if you have ever listened to music The Wrecking Crew is bound to touch you as few films have. To say that this film is long overdue would be an incredible understatement. It's hard to imagine anyone alive today who hasn't been affected by the people who are profiled in this documentary. There's even a good chance you wouldn't be here if not for the music of The Wrecking Crew. Ponder that.

---------------------------------------
Yes indeed folks, THAT was a partial list of hit songs on which the Wrecking Crew performed!

I guess I stumped yaz on that one, eh?!?!
