1960s SOUL TRIVIA

[Nish]

Here are some lyrics, try to guess the songs. Some are really easy, some are really hard. Don't just think Tempts and Motown, I'm going everywhere on this one!

1. We don't have to live in high society, with a love so real, it's good enough for me...

2. Because a one-sided love will never do, you've gotta show me that ya love me to, cause falling in love all alone is just no fun.

3. Your farewell kiss is haunting me, my two lips cry out constantly, let your heart be your guide, forget about your foolish pride.

4. Why do you use me, try to confuse me, how can you stand to be so cruel, why don't you free me from this prison where I've served my time as your fool?

5. Love has its ups and downs it's sometimes like a merry-go-round going round and around and around and around, never knowing where you're bound

6. I'm gonna love you until my dying day, and if you don't believe me, why don't you say?

7. If you're not gonna stay, please don't tease me like you did before because I still love you so although...

8. Don't ask me how long I've loved you, when you're gone, my heartaches, I'll never, never ever leave you, girl all my life for you I'd wait.

9. If I could search the whole world just to find a prettier girl I'll bet you, I wouldn't find her.

10. Guided me to the rainbows end, you took me to a place that I've never been, then you turned away and you closed the door leaving me alone like I was before.

If no one gets them by later today, I'll give hints! :-)

Okay, I only know number 3! It's Loneliness Made Me Realize It's You That I Need, right?

[Nish]

YEP! If you followed the Tempts on into the 70s, you know #5, too.

[Ivory Fair]

Uh.......... #5 is "Statue of a Fool" by David Ruffin?

(that is my standard guess when I don't know the answer

Now you KNOW not many folks can hang when it comes to your knowledge of Soul music. Maybe you need to dumb it down a little.

[iratherlikeme]

So which were the easy ones and which were the hard ones? ;D

[Nish]

I thought 2-5 and 8 were freebies! See, I hate doing Tempts, because it's obvious, same with SUPS... but I'm doing all Motown here, some obvious, some middling rare.

Try again, try again... NEW TRIVIA

1. I guess you say what can make me feel this way

2. "I hope and pray each day I live a little more love I'll have to give a little more love that's devoted and true..." (From the young little boy)

3. Darling well, don't you know that I can tell, whenever I look at you, that you think that I'm untrue, cuz I say that I got two, but I really really do.

4. You knew my lips were lonely for the kisses you could give to me ever since the first day, baby, that we met.

5. As time goes by, our love will grow much stronger, and if we try we'll make it last much longer, you're lovin' touch has set my soul afire, I love you oh so much, you are my one desire. (Motown's most SOPHISTICATED LADY sings this one, also an actress, NOT Diana Ross)

6. If there is something that you don't see eye to eye, you'd better think before you tell your love goodbye, cuz your paths may never cross again, make sure you take the same bend...

7. Well I know he's the guy who brought tears to my eyes a thousand times or more, oh but every time he would apologize, I love him more than before.

8. My heart is a prisoner of your warm embrace, I can't help myself nothing can take your place, when you say sweet things to me, I start tremblin' from head to feet.

9. each time we meet you make me feel so incomplete, there's no joy in the air, I just don't think you care

10. You said you'd be comin' whenever I need you and you can bet, I'm gonna please you so come runnin cause now I need you baby.

Ok, I know nuthin' about any motown songs other than those of the Temptations and I know all the lyrics to the hits (and a few extra) of Temptations and only up until 1973. But even I know numero uno! It goes without say

[Aba21]

1 My Girl
4Baby I Need you-Temps
6 Fork In the Road
7 Don't Mess with Bill

[Dbaby]

No! My Girl was the one that I was going to say!

Doesn't it annoy you that you can't emphasize I by using all caps? No one knows your trying to do anything with it. Yeah, I find that annoying. Yep...

[iratherlikeme]

All right, I have to go stand next to earthangel. So far, the furthest I've gotten with the Tempts is 1971 and Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Oh, and Stay, lol. But I'm working on it.

#3 is Two Lovers by Mary Wells
