MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Nov 24, 2024 #296

*In 1968, we got a concept album from this great band that contained a track exploring knowledge in a changing world.  Written by the band's bass player, it was 1 of 2 singles released from the album and is actually so popular, it is played regularly as the final song during live performances.  Oh and this British band add a lengthy keyboard and drum duet to it each time.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This group produced a big hit in 1967 but did not write it.  It was written and recorded by a member of the group, the New Vaudeville Band earlier that same year.  While the original had very limited success, the next band's release became a WW hit, holding a #1 slot for 4 weeks.  The song was also a mild hit for The Carpenters.  Name the British band that made it #1 and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*This great artist's 23rd album released in 2016, found him reuniting with producer Glyn Johns who produced and guided his 1977 album.  The album seemed to provide the same degree of weathered warmth as previous albums while blending covers of well-worn blues standards, some J.J. Cale and old pop standards and even a Bob Dylan chestnut.  There were only 2 original tracks on the album.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album...
 
*This U.S. artist created a mid-70's typhoon of classic albums and this follow-on album to his arguably most exceptional concept album was released in 1980.  It found the artist in a different musical climate than the one that savored his every move from 1972 to 1977 as dance and new wave had slowly crept their way into the mainstream.  Undaunted, he stayed true to what he did best.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album...
