It's April 7th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Corey with The Story. The 1960s birthed a ton of iconic songs from every corner, making it tough even back then to match hits to their artists. This brain teaser throws 10 tracks at you with hints, challenging you to name the group or singer before peaking. Think California Dream Inn by the mamas and the poppas in 1966, their biggest match that topped the charts. Take light my fire from the doors in 1967, pinned by guitarist Robbie Krieger, clocking in at nearly 7 minutes on the album. Or Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel in 1968, russed together after a movie director called it out by name. These tunes capture that wild era's vibe perfectly. Suspicious minds marked Elvis Presley's last number one in 1969, cut during his Memphis revival, while Louis Armstrong's What-A, wonderful world for 1967 got ignored by his label

at first. Listeners today still hum, unchained melody by the righteous brothers from 1965, revived by that pottery scene in Ghost decades later. Build me a buttercup by the foundations in 1968 indoors, even if the band's name fades and Dusty Springfield nailed son of a. Preacher man the same year after a wreath of Franklin passed on it first. Dusty Sinatra stomped, these boots are made for walkin' to number one on both sides of the ocean in 1966 and Fatula Clark's downtown. From 1964 snagged a Grammy, nail eight or more, right, and those sixties grooves live loud in your head, under five, means a treasure trove waits. Dust off your memory and test yourself next time you spin those classics.
