Way too easy ! Too bad they don't pick lyrics from the '60s... That would be fun... They should offer Presley Love's Rock Lyrics book series for those who love the '50s & '60s ! Those are really challenging questions -- esp. the '50s !
A PERFECT 10!!!!! ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌👌👌 😃😃😃😃😃
I tried....and failed! LOL! 6/10

I got 8 out of 10
Hey not bad! You really know your stuff!
Hey not bad! You really know your stuff!
Always nice to talk about '60s songs. I have a book 60's Rock Lyrics & Titles trivia that I got on Amazon by Presley Love...more great questions !
7/10; not too bad considering I was not even born yet when these songs came out.
10/10, although I guessed on # 8. I wasn't born until 1971 but am a big fan of 1960's music.
10/10 I got all of them. The only tricky one was # 10 Sukiyaki. I remember the song. I made my best guess on the most familiar sounding name for the artist on that song. listened to the top 40 hits back in the days on 1260 KYA in San Francisco.
10/10 Many of those songs are regularly heard. I listed to the top 40 hits back in the days on 1260 KYA in San Francisco.
...and KEWB...
8/10 I missed both the girl groups questions
7 of 10. Bobby Vinton sold his seafront home on New Pass on North Lido Key in Sarasota. Buyer quickly knocked it down and built 2 new $10 million beauties in its place. Bobby is still alive and is said to be at an assisted living facility in Sarasota.
10 for 10 when your 15 you knew all the songs
10 for 10. Back when these were on the AM radio, I heard all of these songs over and over. I had a teenaged sister and her transistor radio and music was with her always. Kind of like the way cellphones are with kids today!
10/10 Love my oldies!
Got all 10 but the last two were complete guesses
10/10 - Wasn't born until 1970, but I first started getting into oldies back in 1987 during DX prowls at night when I discovered KVI Seattle and KSGO Portland on my radio dial.
6/10 before my time. The only help was with the pics I recognized the singer and The Beach Boys one.
