# 24  How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees

# 29  Silly Love Songs - Wings

The artist I was looking for in #3 was Rita Coolidge...but I'll accept Boz Scaggs since he did it originally...

All others are correct!

29.  Silly Love Songs - Paul Mcartney

Hi...8 is Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough by Patty Smythe and I think Don Henley
2 is What Kind of Fool by Barbra Streisand and I think Aaron Neville

Hi there karen...I got here as soon as I could. I've been rather busy taking down Christmas decorations today that I haven't had time to be on the computer. But I think I can salvage one:

#14, "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie & Diana Ross.

The other unanswered ones, I am stumped on.

2.  Who's Sorry Now? - Connie Francis
12.  Shower the People - James Taylor
29.  Silly Love Songs - Paul Mcartney


Hi John!  :)

#12 is correct, and #29 was already grabbed by FussBudgetVanPelt...

I'm afraid that #2 is not the song I had in mind... :-\\

Hi AnnieBanannie!  :)

#8 is correct...and #2 is almost correct (the artist who sang with Barbra Streisand was Barry Gibb)... ;)

That one is correct, Jeff!  :)

The other unanswered ones, I am stumped on.


They're all 70's and 80's songs here, Jeff, so I hope one or two more pop out at you!

That one is correct, Jeff!  :)

Well I don't know a great deal of 70s pop songs, and most of the 80s stuff I know of is in the "new wave" category...but I do know some soft-pop songs that came out during that time. Perhaps I'll think of one or more. But I wanted to claim that one before someone else beat me to it.

We still have more Christmas decorations to put away, though!

Yes, Jeff...putting away Christmas decorations is a big job indeed!

I hope you can come up with more on this quiz...there are a couple more 80's tunes in the mix!  :)

Hi John!  :)

#12 is correct, and #29 was already grabbed by FussBudgetVanPelt...

I'm afraid that #2 is not the song I had in mind... :-\\


Hi Karen,

I didn't think you would quote the title but I thought I'd try Who's Sorry Now anyway.

4.  Toto  "I'll Be Over You"
18.  Lionel Richie  "You Are"


---cornwallis

4.  Toto  "I'll Be Over You"
18.  Lionel Richie  "You Are"


---cornwallis



Both are correct!  :)

Hi Karen  :)


#30  Time Passages - Al Stewart  :D

Aloha Karen!

I think #27 is "Torn Between Two Lovers" by Mary MacDonald.

It was on the radio a couple of months ago, I remember thinking then that the lyrics were a bit "adult" as my middle daughter (aged 9) was listening at the same time as me!

Aloha Graham!  :)

That is definitely the song (though you're slightly off with the artist's last name...it should be MacGregor instead of MacDonald, but close enough!)...

I've always liked the song, but as you said it's very adult...

You know what, I got confused there because Mary MacDonald was my grandmother's name  ::).

Hi Karen...

#9. 'Only Yesterday' - Carpenters

(...but you can, if you like...!!)

23. "Sometimes I fly like an eagle"
(HINT: The artist who did this song had numerous U.S. hits in the 1970's.  Sadly, he died in a plane crash about 9 years ago.)


I can't place the song, but you're talking about John Denver.

That is correct, John, so you'll get half a point for that!  :)

Heh! I had to plough through a couple of songs, but I finally got there...

...it's 'Looking For Space'...

(...and it can normally be found between my ears!)

What th' hell, I may as well leave the CD playing...
