Wow! I guess 1972 is easier than 1970 or 1971! Or I'm getting closer to everyone's age range! ;)
Lester gets an A. Fuss gets an A. Karen gets an A for effort when tired. R&R gets an A. J.C. gets a B.
#10--the title is correct, but wrong artist.
#46--the artist is correct but wrong song.
#22--J.C. was incorrect, but R&R correctly id'ed it.
(I just realized, I have no #39--I'll go and find one!)
Okay, there's a #39 now!
