Easy Peasy. Recent passings from the correct answers: RIP B.J. Thomas and Jay Black. What instantly recognisable voices!
13/13. Good year for great songs.
I prefer Gladys Knight & the Pips version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", it's less ominous and funkier than Marvin Gaye's version. Besides, Gladys sings the HELL out of the song.
give me creedence, everytime!
12, not familiar with the Monkees song.

I had my 19-year-old daughter take this quiz. She literally just woke up and STILL got 13/15! She only missed #3 & #6. Side note: "Listen To the Band" is one of her favorite Monkees songs.
13/13... Older quiz, older guy... perfect score!

12/13. The only one I missed was "Suspicious Minds." Never been a big Elvis fan.

Born in the 60's, I knew most of these songs, but a couple of big guesses

I wasn't born until 70 but still got them all. Soundtrack of my childhood.
I guessed on Number 9, I've always been a Monkees fan but have never heard that song.
Exactly! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still have the 45; "Someday Man" is the other side. It came out after Peter Tork left. It's a great song; I personally recommend it. One of Nesmith's best.
that's because it's by mike nesmith and the 1st national band....
