MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Dec 29, 2024 #299

*We'll enjoy a great song written by a trio of folks that included Phil Spector.  It was actually written for a most popular group at the time, The Ronettes who first recorded it in 1966.  But another group latched on to it and had even greater success with it.  Name the group, one that idolized the talents of Phil Spector and extra credit for the name of the song, the most popular version recorded and released in 1969...
 
*If one goes to the Pacific Ocean, how can one not stare out over the vastness of it all and be somewhat mesmerized?  Not many folks however think about doing a '180' and creating an entire album of music inspired by that move.
Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album....
 
*From 1981-1993, this artist successfully juggled a solo career and membership in a famous, quite successful band.  1993 was the year of the complete transition to a solo career, one that found the artist taking a fairly rootsy approach and avoiding the type of high-tech production gloss one typically heard in the 90's music scene.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the former group...
 
*Inspiration for this classic hit from the late 60's came from the Boys Town community formed in 1917 by Catholic priest, Father Edward Flanagan in Omaha, Nebraska.  How this ended up being a huge hit for a group of the British Invasion is even more intriguing.  Name the band that recorded and released it in 1969 and extra credit for the name of the track...
