Watched The Box Tops & loved their appearance. I can't find it-would love to see it again. What episode can I find them on?

I am still amazed that "square as a bear, with a part in the middle of his hair" Buddy Holly ever was considered rock & roll. His effeminate hiccup-y voice, coke bottle glasses and timid music didn't make MY socks roll up and down! Just my humble opinion.

Might have been The Lovin' Spoonful? John Sebastian (long hair/glasses) and Zal Yanovsky (guitar, wore hats, and goofed off). 15 out of 15 on quiz. :)

I can’t go by the date you give, but the whacky acting, top hat wearing, guitar playing, singer, had to be John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. Oh, and at 61 yo. I got all the answers right. I seen em all.

I believe you're right. He sure was an over actor but I really enjoyed their singing.

14 of 15! Some were too easy, then some I had to go by who they weren't and make a guess.
