Poldo's Music Trivia II

OK, boys and girls, a little more 90s Country for today. (BTW, in my book, this is one of the saddest songs ever written): This SAD country song was written by Danny "Bear" Mayo. A man's poignant request for somene to care for his loyal dog, his best friend, after he's gone. It reached #15 in the Billboard Country charts in 1990. Title? Band? Answer: "Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Mississippi. Peter, Paul and Mary's "Gone the Rainbow" and Judy Collins' "Shule Aroon" are also way up high on the Sad Songs Hit Parade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtDezR2aDSc&list=RDLtDezR2aDSc&start_radio=1

OK, girls and boys, more Mop-Tops: This Gordy/Bradford 1959 R&B composition was THE 1st hit for what was to become Motown - Barrett Strong's rendition peaked at #2 B&B and #23 Pop in '60. It expresses a desire for lucre as the primary motivator. The Beatles recorded it in '63 in 7 takes for their 2nd album with John on lead vocals and subsequent piano overdubs by Sir George Martin. #288 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs Ever. Performed by John Belushi on "Animal House". Song? Answer: "Money (That's What I Want)". This is John Lee Hooker's song way before '59 - coincidence???: "The best thing in life is free, But you can give it to the birds an' bees I need some money, Need some money. Oh yeah, what I want". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeWjEYhk7Xo&list=RDCeWjEYhk7Xo&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeVx1C73o8k&list=RDyeVx1C73o8k&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3...
