Four Tops question about being a jazz group wrong. Yep, that was the one I didn't like. They didn't say jazz group - they said jazz BAND. That makes me think of Kenny Ball. Does singing a few jazz standards make you a jazz band/group? What about their doowop stuff? I'd always imagined their roots lay there, but am willing to be enlightened. - Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The thing that made me pick jazz was the Album that's mega rare or doesn't exist , which I reckon was something like 'Jazz Workshop' (nearly put 'Worksop' ) Or I may have imagined it Just re read what I put , if the album doesn't exist it must be bloody rare Edited October 15, 2013 by SWIFTY 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ljblanken Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ....and had a 50% chance if he'd done it blindfold! - Kev excellent response! we call this the "proportional reduction in error" problem in statistics. comparing correctly predicted variance to either guessing the modal category, or relying on random chance (as in this case). you should be a social scientist! (maybe you are?) you would be surprised how many researchers report results that are WORSE than random chance as being "significant"... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Never been a fan of statistics as they always seem to be missing something significant which would drastically alter what they pretend to portray. On another note - thanks to all for mentioning the Jazz Workshop LP which I had no idea about. You live and learn. - Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Simon T Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Stupid quiz. I answered true to every question and got 50%. I thought I'd try and improve my score by answering false to each one, but still only got 50%! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
thomas96 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The only one I got wrong was the Diana Ross founded the Supremes one, and I think that's a bad question. She was an original member of the group and she may not have been THE founder, I would still consider her a founder... She was there before they were even the Supremes...

Soulsaddler Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 70% , though I thought Bobby Taylor discovered The J5 That's what I heard. Bobby Taylor heard these youngsters sing, and told Gladys Knight who went along to see them and was impressed. Between them, they convinced Berry Gordy to take a look. Miss Ross had nothing to do with it, though she took the credit of course. I got 90% - got the Mary Wells/Beatles question wrong. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
