Thanks for playing!

WE HAVE A TIE! I'm not sure what to do here? Tie is between Myself2006 and MizFit. A crossover is a song played on two different radio formats...example. Rock and Country. Kenny Chesney's and Dolly's versions only received attention on country. This is how I score it:

1. Running Bear - Sonny James
2. Please Come To Boston - Dave Loggins
3. But You Know I Love You - Kenny Rogers
4. Snowbird - Anne Murray
5. Until the Next Teardrop Falls - Freddy Fender.

I think the only fair thing to do here is let the voters decide. I'm open for suggestion.

Thanks again for playing. You were the only 3 brave enough to try. Was this one too tough?

Answer 1

1**running bear by sonny james
2** please come to boston by dave loggins
3**but you know i love you by dolly parton (LP 9to5)
4**snowbird by hank snow also by anne murray
5**before the next teardrop falls by freddie fender

r0cky74: yes a couple of the songs were kind of hard to guess from the lyrics given but i did figure out what they were! So thanks for giving me the challenge! its fine by me if the voters pick who the winner is because we were both right after all so its the fair thing to do like you said!

Answer 2

1. Running Bear - George Jones
2. Please Come To Boston - Kenny Chesney
3. But You Know I Love You (not sure about this one) - Dolly Parton
4. Snowbird - Lynn Anderson
5. Before the Next Teardrop Falls - Freddie Fender

Thanks for asking!
Just as a sidenote...I was just a little confused on exactly which artists you were looking for (considering the 2 genres), but I'll stick with the answers given...right or wrong.

Answer 3

Running Bear
Johnny Preston
Written by J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper)

Please Come To Boston

But You Know I Love You

Edit:
The songs were not what the issue was... determining which artist you were looking for was slightly confusing, but as myself2006 said, thanks for the challenge! Voters, do your thing! Peace :)

Answer 4

i do no longer understand, yet I additionally share a reliable hatred for present day united states music. i individually like the previous united states from the 60s 70s and 80s, yet for my section, you may write down random lyrics, sing it with a Texas Twang, and throw interior the words "Momma', "Wagon"," ' nother", or "Beer" and that they are going to positioned it on the radio as united states. On 2nd theory... some present day music many times basically sucks. I nonetheless can not get previous the shown fact that united states could have rap in it, or that human beings did no longer understand that 4-5 Seconds replaced into rather written by utilising Paul McCartney. some human beings theory that Paul replaced into some low priced newcomer noob... *sigh*
