MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Feb 23, 2025 #305

*This band (of teenagers at the time) from Hertfordshire, England recorded this huge hit in 1964 after they won a talent contest that led to a recording session.  The song tells the story of an alluring woman who won't be tied down to one man.  Most follow-on releases bombed, but Al Kooper of Blood, Sweat & Tears fame heard them and orchestrated a U.S. contract for the group.  Name the band...
 
*This band  (actually a duo) always thought their ballad compositions to be their strength, and then this song, their only real hit, happened in 1970.  The duo actually wrote the song at a Los Angeles coffeehouse, an environment  they frequently performed in.  The song's title describes an all too common occurrence for musicians of that time.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*1970 also gave us this song, that not unlike many others is quite metaphorical and fairly heady stuff at the time.  The song explores themes of love, strategy and the complexities of relationships through the metaphor of a card game.  The song comes from the debut solo album of an artist previously part of a most incredible super group.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*It wasn't until this artist's 3rd album in 1972, that saw him catapulted to superstardom.  The double album was entirely him!  He wrote, recorded, produced and played all the instruments.  (How is that even possible?) Amazing!
Certainly a few other artists have done the same, but this collection of 25 songs put this artist into star status!  Name the artist...
