November Quiz

Larry and Mindy’s Quiz – November 2024

Who recorded it first?

Many songs were recorded by more than one artist or group, but who was the first one to do so? Some of these may surprise you. This is not an easy quiz, but we’re sure you will enjoy it, especially reading the answers.
(The photo is of a randomly chosen artist/band that recorded the song, so don’t be fooled into thinking we would give away the answers so easily. And if you want to know who the photo is of, you can see it by right-clicking and “Saving As” the picture on a computer, or on your phone, just hold the picture until a menu comes up – the name will be on top. All names mentioned are connected to the song in question.)

Good luck!
(The Hebrew quiz is a different quiz completely Go enjoy doing that one, too.)
