MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Nov 17, 2024 #295

*With a rarely used Hammond B-3 organ (by this band) providing a key component to this excellent 1976 song, the message is inspirational and introspective, reminding us that time is always ticking away, so we'd better make the most of it.  This California band formed in 1966 which centered the frontman and the band in the counterculture as America was ramping up the Vietnam war.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*We'll play a track designed to be the blockbuster that it was in 1973.  This being the 3rd album by this artist, he had top ten hits from the previously released albums, but this album was truly a statement of purpose spilling out as a double LP.  This release marked the artist as much an entertainer as a musician.  Name the artist...
 
*This long-term artist posed a question in her 2018 release...What if questions are the answers?  She was and is a truly versatile singer with a clear, pure voice capable of tackling rock, pop, R&B, country and folk.  Born in 1945 just outside of Nashville, she is part Cherokee Indian and first sang in the church where her father was a minister.  Name the artist...
 
*Riding high on back-to-back top 5 platinum hits, this artist quickly returned to the studio to record album #5.  And in the eyes of any number of music critics (who agrees with them?) this 1982 album sounded like a tired band.  While I'm not sure how that shows, well let's agree to disagree.   At a time when MTV videos were becoming the rage, this video was pioneering.  The song didn't start until over a minute into the clip.  The video opening, inspired by the Mad Max films.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track.
