Hubby bought home a music quiz, we have answers for all questions except one!! AArgh.  The initials of the pop artist/group are DD and the song title initials are TR.  The song was a 1970's hit.

Please help.

Steph

The nearest I can get is Tie a Yellow Ribbon by Dawn.

I've flicked through all the 'D's' in my Guiness Book of Hit Singles I got for crimbo and can't find any artists named DD apart from Diana Dors but thats not the 70's.  Duran Duran and The Reflex is the 80's.

Damn, that's really going to bug me now!

Yes I thought about Duran Duran too, but not in the 70's.

Still puzzled
Steph

I've looked through all the No.1's of the 70's and it doesn't look like it was any of those.

There are several groups/artists with DD as initials but have you ever heard of DJ Dan or the Dum Dums?!!

Yes, all I can think of is The Reflex by Duran Duran, but as Jacky says, that wasn't released till 1984.

Hi ,was Dave Dee (of dozy beaky mick and tich ) were they still around in the 70's ? cant think of a T.R.song though ! not a lot of help really ! Good luck Sue & Lola xx

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich had hits from 65 - 69.  Nothing beginning TR though.

Hi Jackyjat,i just loved Xanadu (sp) wasn'nt it Dave Dee "swooshing " that  whip around ? often wondered about that whip .......!lol  Take care Sue & Lola xx

Have already tried Daddy Dewdrop, David Dundas and Desmond Dekker, but can find nothing with TR as the title, except The Reflex!  AAAAAArgh

Steph

something by Donny Dosmond or David Dassidy perhaps?

I can only think of Desmond Decker ..The Israelites ...closest I can get to it , Sorry

I thought if anyone would know the ansa's, then CDers would!  I'll check with the creator of the quiz that it's not a mis-print or that it should have been in the 80's section.  Or maybe I'll just put Duran Duran in and hope for the best.

Thanks anyway
Steph

No please check with the person who wrote the quiz!  I have asked a friend who writes quizzes and who knows loads about music (having been a dj in the 70's) and he can't work it out either.

Make sure you post the answer when you get it!

I dont know what year it was but I have found an artist on a song lyric site called Dave Dudley and the song was Texas Ruby if thats any help :) Sarah. Ok had another look, and found out that he had hits in the 60's and 70's, He was country/ Honky Tonk and truckers loved him !!!!!!

It was on an album released in 1979 :) He also did stuff for the smokie and the bandit film.  Sarah

is it derek and the dominoes....*tell the truth* ????.

david dundas?

Derk Diggler.  
I know if I haven't got anything constructive to say shut up.

Wondering off with a mischevious grin

:D @Emma !!

Thanks all,

I think we're going to go with Texas Ruby - Dave Dudley (although I've never heard of him).  I might attach a note for the quiz master explaining who he is, just in case it's not the correct answer (in the eyes of the quizmaster).

Emma, explain EXACTLY how you know about Dirk Diggler (I looked him up, I had no previous knowledge - honestly).

Steph

Neither Dave Dudley or Texas Ruby are in the Guiness Book of Hit singles, which probably means they weren't that much of a hit in the UK!  I wonder why?
