Name the recording artists beginning with A
A music-based quiz today covering the 1950s to the modern day. Below are 22 pairs of songs, each pair being big hits for the same recording artist(s) – you have to name them.
You have two big clues to each pair of songs – the year they were big hits and the fact that every artist(s)’ name begins with the letter A. To clarify, the A will be the first letter of the name on the record with the one exception of groups starting with The. So, for example, Cliff Richard would be regarded as beginning with C but The Shadows would be regarded as beginning with S. No internet use of course.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 8pm tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
