Our featured video song today is The Beatles "Hey Jude." I remember when it came out, what a commotion. Who records 7 minute songs so popular that radio stations play the tune in its entirety? And it was a classic track! At the time it was the longest song ever released as a single. Of course I do remember another long song released in the same year, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. So, listen to this wonderful song inspired by John's son Julian as you decipher those mystery songs and artists.... Do you know the answers to the following clues? 1. This song was recorded by 4 lads from Liverpool. The artist dedicated this tune to Yoko and to his mother, who was struck and killed by a car driven by an off-duty police officer on July 15, 1958. The musician named his child after her. The song's title is also the same first name of a famous female chef. This tune was recorded live and with an acoustic guitar. There were no other group members who played on this track. It was the artists only solo effort with the group. 2. This power pop band of the 80's hit it big with this J-named lady song which also included a telephone # in the title. The California based band's tune peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's title became part of a prank where you would call the number and ask for this particular girl. One final clue to the group's name is needed here, pay attention now! There was a time when "spectator shoes" were the rage. These shoes were made with dual colors (tones). 3. At the age of 16 (in 1963) she recorded the pop hit "It's My Party." This J-titled tune was released on the artist's first album I'll Cry If I Want To. Most of the songs on the album dealt with a "crying theme". The single reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #10 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. She also composed songs for the soundtrack of the 1980 film "Fame," with her brother Michael, for which she received an Academy Award nomination. 4. The group's founding member and leader was killed in a Motorcycle accident in 1971. He was a big asset to Eric Clapton, playing with him on the artist's "Derek and the Dominoes" album. Written by guitarist Dickey Betts, the song is named after his daughter. This is an instrumental song that had little chart success, but was included as part of the band's #1 album Brothers and Sisters. Honorable Mention- Ozark Mountain Daredevils- This song is inspired by someone they met in Los Angeles who was strung out on drugs. This Southern rock/country rock band formed in 1972 in Springfield, Missouri. They are most widely known for their singles "If You Wanna Get to Heaven" and this mystery song.
