MrsWoodsrules Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Didn't know that Neil Young ever signed up for Motown, interesting that. That guy in the chair was cr@p, even I got more than him. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Johndelve Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I couldn't hear the last question about the Temps but think it was incorrect. Didn't it ask who replaced Eddie Kendricks AND Paul Williams ? Clearly if so, the answer wasnt David Ruffin..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve S 60 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 What were the questions then? I think the last question went something like this..... After leaving Motown, Gladys Knight had a top 20 UK hit with the Van McCoy produced....der der der der der...I'll come back and finish what I started....

Who co-founded the Marvelettes and sang lead vocals on many of their hits including Beechwood 45789 & Too Many Fish In The Sea?

Premium Stuff Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 He got 6 right. Jeez Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
MrsWoodsrules Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Jeez I know, and that's his specialised subject, wouldn't want to know what he has vague knowledge of if that's specialised Mind you, easy to say that when you are not in the hot seat I suppose, I bet you can just freeze up.

Frankie Crocker Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 He got 6 right. To coin a catch phrase, he should go to Soul Source more often... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Got them all! Rob, what's your general knowledge like? Should we put your name forward for next year's Mastermind? Any other specialist subjects you could offer? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I recorded it, so here goes. What the name of former boxer & record store owner who founded Tamla in 59? Which song by Whitfield & Strong gave Gladys Knight a number 2 hit & Marvin a number 1 hit in the following year? Under what name did the Supremes first perform in 59 while they were a sister group to The Temptations? Which song gave the Four Tops their first number 1 in 66?

Who replace Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams as lead singer of Temptations after My Girl till 1968? He got 6 right. Bloody hell, even I know them, all but the Neil Young one and Marvin's instrument on Please Mr Postman. If he's a specialist, what does that make us? I suppose it is easier said than done though, must be different on the spot and under time. Edited November 7, 2014 by Matt Male Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dave Ward Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I did ok too, but I wasn't under the spotlight and I'm not that big on Motown. There was another guy a few years ago, with the same Specialised Subject and I found it easier to answer the questions. If I can beat the top score after all the rounds combined, I reckon I'm not ready for the old folks home....yet ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garswood Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Got em all apart from the temptations question ?? And I'm guessing that marvin played drums ?? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Got em all apart from the temptations question ?? And I'm guessing that marvin played drums ?? Drums is correct. Temptations question is confusing because it states "after My Girl" . I think they mean David Ruffin, but maybe they should hace worded the question a different way.

Davenpete Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Apart from the Neil Young one (which neither me or Pete knew) - an absolute doddle - I even predicted what three of the questions would be before they came on - never thought they'd have anything as stupidly easy as the Berry Gordy question. The official Temps question answer was just wrong as far as we could work it out from any angle. Dx PS Does anyone know him?

Robbk Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wasn't Neil Young in The Mynah Birds (along with Rick James)? They had a release scheduled for VIP, but it never came out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 By the time the Mynah Birds signed to V.I.P. , the group consisted of Rick James, Neil Young, John Taylor, Bruce Palmer and Rick Mason. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MBarrett Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This might be a bit pedantic but surely the Neil Young question should not have been included if the specialist subject was Tamla Motown as opposed to the Motown Record Corporation.

Mark B Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It won't have been his true specialist subject you are given choices because if you went through each round you would be answering questions on the same subject so the contestant nominates some different subjects and then has to study them. So him getting six was probably okI would have got less but then again that's because I don't particularly like Motown Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Agentsmith Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 didn't see prog and won't i player anyway as questions already posted here...would it be too much to ask if the answers were posted anyway as well just to clarify matters? deffo wouldn't have got mynah birds and a couple of the others not sure...

maslar Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The problem is that in these high pressure situations the questions can sometimes be too easy and that can lead to hesitation. I would think it's pretty easy for some people to just go to pieces if things start to go wrong. It's one thing sitting at home, its another sitting in the Black Chair knowing a few million people are going to be watching you. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
