I got 6 out of 10 correct.
7/10. Some of the best songs ever released were soul songs from the 70s.
2/10. All guesses
I'm 71 and I still play mostly 70s r&b in my car and on my headphones. I can't get away from my soul music!
Back in the '70's when I was in high school, I wasn't into any music except (real) classical and music I played in the marching band such as Capriccio Italien. Sorry I looked at the quiz and recognized NOTHING!
7/10. Didn't know the birds made an unintentional contribution to Loving You...and I must admit I knew Eddie Kendricks recorded Keep On Truckin' LONG before I knew he was one of the Temptations!
Here's how I got that one. Temptations released "Papa was a Rolling Stone" in 1972. I didn't hear his voice in that because every member says a lyric. The very next year (1973) he had his monster hit "Keep On Truckin'" followed with "Boogie Down"
1/10....again
3rd time same quiz
3rd time same quiz
10/10. Obviously.
I should be put in front of a firing squad.
Fun fact: of the first five Billboard #1 singles with three-letter titles(stretching almost 25 years), three had Michael Jackson as lead vocalist (ABC, Ben and Bad).
10/10
10 of 10 Peace, Love and Sooull !
4/10 i thought i would have done better.lol
You got 3 out of 10 (I should not have not even done this well).
5/10 This quiz was misrepresented as Soul, 1972
Five out of 10.
4/10 & 2 were pure guesses... didn't know #3 was not intentional but remembered the chirping.
LoL, same with me on #3
7 out of 10...the movies in the first question, I don't know all the songs that are featured in each one, and I don't know the order of EWF's albums, but after I got it wrong, THAT was when I remembered that Stevie wrote "Tell Me Something Good"!
50%. I pretty much remember all of these songs, just didn’t know the stories behind them.
6/10.
