I thought I would take a two quiz break from the non-word quizzes and try something else.  The quiz will deal with hit songs that have been performed by multiple artists.  The next quiz will be the same but different.  (That's a hint) ;)

NOTE:  The point scale is different in this game.  Each part of an answer is worth one point.    So for example, if you guess song #1's title and the three artists who performed in the sample, it would be worth four points. As a result of awarding a point for each part of a correct answer, the initial limit is 12 points.  Enjoy!

Good job Gaylon.  I'm  thin kyou mistyped for 18 for 15, but you still get credit.  You have all these right!  8)  CCR's  version of "Grapevine" slipped my mind.  It would have been a good add.

#7 Bang A Gong (Get It On) T Rex  Power Station



I typed this this way because I understood this to be the American version but I've noticed you've got it the other way round  ???

#11. 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' - George Michael is the other artist, although Elton was featured on his version...

I've always seen the title as  "Get It On (Bang A Gong)".    No worries.. either way, I'd know the song.  ;)


#10  I'll Be There, Jackson 5, Mariah Carey
#12  American Pie, Don McLean, Madonna
#16  Lean On Me, Bill Withers, Red Box

Hi Phil.  I'm sorry to say the second "Lean On Me" artist isn't Red Box.  :(
The rest of these are right giving you 11 points though, so good job!  And feel free to try one more for your limit.  :)
