The dictionary of the opera
This is less than 1% of what I learned from this book . Do you know that :
The disgraced Bill Cosby had a song that rose to # 4 ; and that David Soul of Starsky and Hutch fame sang ' Don't give up on us' which climbed to #1 Or that Jimi Hendrix had only one song that reached the Billboard top 40 , the criteria for this list . I thought Pipeline and Wipe Our' were both the work of The Ventures ; neither was ? Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye was Steam's sole contribution . Believe it or not , Debbie Boone's You Light up My Life spent more time at # 1 than any song by Elvis or The Beatles !
I consider myself an aficionado of music of the 60s and early 70s , but this book was a revelation to me . I ran out of post-a-notes marking music trivia that makes a difference to the serious student of rock . It took me an hour to find a well-used paperback edition , but I devoured it in a day . If you knew all these things you deserve a job in the trivia wing of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame !
