But I am like you, I know #14 is My Baby loves Lovin' but I can't remember who sings it. (Maybe  CF will give me 1/2 a point for this.  ;))

Hi Alcoholica!   :)

I'll give you partial credit for getting the song title.  Maybe somebody else will know the 'W' artist who did it...

Ah.. thanks cat.. having never heard of Dionne Warwick i don't think i would have got it myself.

I think diplomatic pressure should be applied so you get your half point.. Break out Kissenger!!!

Hi Paul!

Yes, White Plains it is!  You are right about it being a place in New York, and I'd always thought the band was from there, actually.  ???

Thanks for the compliment regarding my quizzes.  :)
