Who's the Singer? - After 30 years of hard-hitting rock and roll, Bachman-Turner Overdrive is a band whose name can be invoked when defining the term "classic rock". Amidst the thick guitar chords, thundering bass lines, and energetic drum beats, who provided the hard-hat tough vocals for "BTO"?
The correct answer is 'C.F. Turner'
Providing one of the most recognizable voices in rock music, bassist/guitarist C.F. Turner is BTO's original lead vocalist, although he has shared some of the lead vocal workload with guitarist Randy Murray since Murray joined the band in 1993.

1971- The Year Of Classic Rock! - John Lennon, after breaking up with the famous Beatles, pursued a solo career. In 1971, he hit it big when he wrote the political-strong song "Imagine". When released, it hit number 3 on the U.S. Charts. It was released as a single in the U.K. in 1975, then re-released shortly after Lennon's death in the U.K. raising it to number one on the charts. What number was "Imagine" on the U.K. charts when it was first released in 1975?
The correct answer is 'Six'
In 1980, when it was re-released, it hit number one on the U.K. charts easily. It was replaced by Lennon's song "Woman", marking only the second time an artist replaced himself/herself on top of the U.K. charts. The Lennon lead Beatles did it first, by following "I Want To Hold Your Hand" with "She Loves You". Thanks for playing my 1971-Year of Music quiz. Keep rocking.
