Question One: TV gave birth to many musical artists, Ricky Nelson being the most obvious. What duo gained national prominence because of their numerous appearances on Shindig?

Answer: The Righteous Brothers became widely known after appearing on Shindig consistently in 1964 and 1965. True, Phil Spector helped by writing "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" for them (possibly the song played by radio stations more than any other song of the 20th century), but it was their stint on Shindig that brought them notice.

Question Two: Wanda Jackson began recording during the 1950s even though her first top 40 single on Billboard Magazine came in 1960. It was a wildly rockin' version of a song recorded by Elvis for a 1957 movie. What was the song? What was the movie? (Hint: Wanda's version of the song was given a slightly longer title.)

Answer: Wanda Jackson, known primarily for her raucous rockabilly style, toured with Elvis and others during the 1950s. In 1960, she released "Let's Have a Party," recorded by Elvis in 1957 (titled simply "Party") for the film Loving You. Listen to her version, which introduced her music to Billboard Magazine's top 40, for the definitive take on that song.
