MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW June 14, 2026 #364

*A classic song released by this American trio in 1969 was written by a very young John Denver, who wrote the song in 1967.  He wrote it during a layover at a Washington airport with a theme of longing to have someone to love.  There have been more than a few cover versions, but this original became a #1 hit late in 1969.  Name the artist and the song...
 
*This artist floated in from the U.K like a gentle breeze, singing songs about peace and togetherness.  He was huge in England, but didn't really catch on in the U.S. until his 4th album.  The album caught on in a huge way with the hippie movement in America.  Name the artist...
 
*This quite successful band started as a trio, but eventually became a duo.  Their 1982 album yielded the band's last Top Ten hit, a song written by Argent guitarist, Russ Ballard.  The song contained a vocal break that was a bit of a nod to a huge hit by Crosby, Stills & Nash.  Lots to guess here...name the band, extra credit for the track name and you will reach genius level if you can name the C. S & N song responsible for the vocal break...
 
*This fantastic west coast band signed a lucrative 5-album contract with Capitol Records in 1967, but they went to London to record album #1, one that had kind of a psychedelic feel to it, at least on the 1st side.  The track we'll enjoy included a harpsichord, not really mainstream at the time.  Name the band...
