Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Pearl Necklace"

Answer: ZZ Top

"Pearl Necklace" was on ZZ Top's 1981 album "El Loco". ZZ Top, a Texan blues band, starting in 1969, releasing their first album in 1971. A lot has been made about Frank Beard not having a beard whereas Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill have extremely long beards. A great band with loads of great music over the decades.
2. "Mama's Pearl"

Answer: Jackson 5

This was a 1971 hit song by the Jackson Five featuring Michael as the lead singer. The song was originally called "Guess Who's Making Whoopie (With Your Girlfriend)" but the producers thought that the title was too provocative for a young singer, ie Michael. Well, I do not think I could add anything further to what has been written about the Jackson Five over the years, so much talent.
3. "Daddy's Pearl"

Answer: Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield released "Daddy's Pearl" in 1981 on his "Working Class Dog" album. Rick debuted with the Australian band The Zoot (1969 to 1971) whose gimmick was wearing pink suits.
