The Top Hits of 1961 - The following lyric represents The Highwaymen’s contribution to the Hot Hundred chart in 1961. It spent 17 weeks on the chart, two weeks at Number One and finished the year ranked number 13 with 1076 points. What song was it?

“Jordan River is chilly and cold, hallelujah
Chills the body but not the soul, hallelujah”
 He's Got The Whole World In His Hands
 Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
 Michael
 The Eve Of Destruction
The correct answer is 'Michael'
This song was adapted by The Highwaymen from a 19th century folk song “Michael Row The Boat Ashore”.



The group formed at Wesleyan University in Connecticut where the members were completing their undergraduate studies. Their repertoire was primarily comprised of traditional English folk songs, many of which were drawn from the collection of “Child Ballads”. Like the Brothers Four, they didn’t have professional music aspirations at the time, but their regional popularity and the sudden upswing of folk music popularity in general induced them to give it a go, at least for a while.



“Michael” was among their initial recordings and it seemed to be going nowhere when it was first released in 1960. Due to the unwavering efforts of their manager, the record slowly started getting some attention in New England then gradually caught on nationally, topping the charts in September 1961. They would only have one more top 40 hit, “Cottonfields” later in the year, but produced several albums that fared reasonably well. The group folded in 1964 when most of the members went on to graduate studies but they would get together for a few weeks each year to perform at folkfests and other concerts and continue to do so with the new millennium. Now, just as it was in the early 1960s when they formed, their desire to perpetuate this musical form is their driving motive.

 Circles
 Blue Love
 Stay
 Everlasting Love
The correct answer is 'Stay'
"Stay" was the first single from the 1978 gold LP, "Street Player". The song hit # 3 on the R&B chart and # 38 on the Pop chart. Chaka quit the group after the release of this LP; however, she was contractually bound to record two more LPs with the group. Of course, she did later fulfill her obligation.

 UFO

Music Question 8
How to Make a Good Music Quiz - When making a Music quiz, which of the following should you put in quotes?
 Song lyrics
 Album titles
 Song titles
 All of these
The correct answer is 'All of these'
Also, titles of tours (e.g. Madonna's "Like a Virgin" tour) go in quotes, as well as anything that seems to be the title of something. Names of bands and singers do NOT go in quotes. For example: The Eurythmics' song "There Must be an Angel" is from their album "Eurythmics". Exception: this rule does not apply when the answer is stand-alone, meaning it's an answer of a multiple-choice question.
