MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW July 14,2024 #277

*Back in the early 60's, a band comprised of teenagers with less than enough pocket money to record their work gathered funds from their parents to scout for a place to host their rehearsals.  A dude by the name of Dale Smallin owned a small studio in Cucamonga, California came through and eventually became the band's manager.  The first song they recorded, Surfer Joe, was fine, but they needed 2 songs to release a single.  They recorded this song that was considered a throwaway, but it became the band's rather large hit.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This artist was born in Chicago in 1942 and with his incredible band went on to influence a rather incredible number of artists that followed.  When that band broke up, he spent most of the 80's as a solo acoustic troubadour.  His 1991 solo album had some mighty fine guest artists...Tom Petty, Mike Camplbell and David Crosby to name a few.  Name the artist...
 
*Many a song has been written about the rigors of the road and this 1973 track took on the situations this artist experienced touring, but also focused on the other side of fame which the public seldom sees...the loneliness and aggravation.  This artist developed tinnitus, another pitfall of long. loud road tours full of concerts.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*When this significant artist launched his solo career, he tapped into his relationship with a great session guitarist and songwriter to assist him.  The artist received a number of great songs that became hits, including the one we'll play later this evening.  And that song was inspired by two classic pieces of literature...The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Ugly American/  Name the artist and real extra credit if you can name his associate...
