Let's Play Music Trivia Jeopardy

[ggalen]

I read that Barry Mann has tried for years to make a name as a performing artist in his own right, and it hasn't worked out.Even with his connections and proven ability to write great songs.It is tough and involves luck for even the best of them.

Quote:Wow! Y'all blow me away with this trivia knowledge...Shewt me!!!Ok, I do have one...What early 20th century author/inventor wrote "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?The tune is credited to Eliphalet Oram Lyte in the publication The Franklin Square Song Collection (1881, New York), which also indicates that he adapted the lyric. - Wikipedia

Quote:Beatles for 50 - Who invented their haircut?"As a schoolboy in the mid '50s, Jürgen Vollmer had left his hair hanging down over his forehead one day after he had gone swimming, not bothering to style it. John Lennon is quoted in The Beatles Anthology as follows: Jürgen had a flattened-down hairstyle with a fringe in the back, which we rather took to. In late 1961 Vollmer moved to Paris. McCartney said in a 1979 radio interview: "We saw a guy in Hamburg whose hair we liked. John and I were hitchhiking to Paris. We asked him to cut our hair like he cut his." McCartney also wrote in a letter to Vollmer in 1989: George explained in a 60s interview that it was John and I having our hair cut in Paris which prompted him to do the same…. We were the first to take the plunge."
