MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Aug 4, 2024 #280

*Well play a track from back in 1969 that got as high as #5 on the charts.  The group (formed in Los Angeles in 1969) featured 3 lead singers and B-3 Hammond Organ, but the most frequent vocalist made the group with her accomplished blue-eyed soul sound.  They did a lot of covers in their time and actually broke up after a couple of albums.  The group was managed by Del Shannon (of Runaway fame) who chose this popular song for the band.  Name the band...
 
*We'll enjoy a song about a very seductive woman with expensive tastes that she uses men to satisfy.  Much like Eagles, Hotel California, the lyrics use and reference a luxury brand to develop the character...in this instance a mention referring to a high-end automobile that purrs.  The song turned out to be the biggest US hit of the 80's to feature a saxophone solo.  Name the group and extra credit for the name of the band...
 
*This British duo were oftentimes confused with comparisons to similar duos, but they had a great hit that bears some resemblance to Buddy Holly's 'Words Of Love'.  The duo actually got its start in the early 1960's, but due to commercial failures and divergent personal ambitions, they disbanded in 1968, just about 6 years into their music career.  Name the duo...
 
*The genesis of this song, from this group, was about driving precariously on a highway as fast as one could go.  Most of the vocals for the song were recorded in the studio bathroom because of the massive amounts of beer the band consumed during recording sessions.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
