Would I be right in thinking you've been watching one of those 'hits of 70s/80s' programmes again Rogue? I would say all these songs were very early 70s.

4 is I want you back- the Jackson 5

8 is signed sealed delivered I'm yours
Aretha ????

It is that song, but is categorically not that singer.

My jaw has dropped!

I (uncharacteristically) have no words. Other than "no points".

shinynewapple22 · 25/07/2022 13:30

9.Absolutely nothing
War, what is is good for, got by Midge, but not the SEMINAL singer. Who was????

I think it's Edwin Starr

You're correct, but I always thought it was James Brown. Zero points to me!

And a swift kick to your ankle because I can feel you smirking.

NeedToKnow101 · 26/07/2022 18:20

Signed sealed delivered is Stevie Wonder

Rogue1001MNer · 26/07/2022 18:24

Outstanding ones with more lyrics:

8.Ooo baby here I am
Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
But who sang it???? (Clue, it WASN'T Aretha!)

  1. This is going to be a challenge!

You went away and left me long time ago
Now you're knocking on my door
<chorus>
<chorus>, go back to where you been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies
<chorus>
<chorus>, go back to where you been, oh yeah

You better get back to your used-to-be
'Cause you're kinda love ain't good for me
<chorus>
<chorus>, go back where you been

3.Prosecution you must fear
Win or lose you got to get your share
You've got you mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem now.

<chorus>

Listen.
Rome was not built in a day,
Opposition will come your way.
But the harder the battle you see,
It's the sweeter the victory, now!

7.Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth, it's hard to swallow, that's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you

17.Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place I love
Yellow River, got by Shiny, but who sang it?
No one know who sang this?

  1. When no-one else can understand me When everything I do is wrong You give me hope and consolation You give me strength to carry on

Surprised none got this last one!

Move yourself

never thinking of the future

"Yellow River, got by Shiny, but who sang it?
No one know who sang this?"

I was thinking Donovan, but got myself confused with Mello Yellow, I don't know the artist for Yellow river, but know the song well :-(
