As we're talking 70's music here, it'd have to be Don McLean... ;)

These two are correct, Karen... :)

That song is from the 60's, so I'm afraid it's not the right one for this quiz... :-\\

Hiya Karen!
#20 "knee-high" - this phrase certainly appears in the old Val Doonican hit "Walk Tall" but somehow I don't think that Val ever made it to the top of the US charts???

Hey there, Graham! :)
Good effort, but I'm afraid it's not what I was looking for... :-\\
I will say that the song was a big hit in 1975...and that the artist is a native of your country, if that helps! ;)
