Step-by-step solution for: Old School Soul Music Crossword - WordMint
I'll solve this crossword puzzle step by step, working through each clue carefully.
Let me start by identifying the answers for each clue:
ACROSS:
3. "This song was sampled by DJ Kool in 1996" - This is likely "Apache" (the breakbeat)
7. "Artists who sing 'Have You Seen Her?' and 'Oh Girl!'" - These are The Chi-Lites
10. "Sings 'I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above'" - This sounds like a soul ballad lyric
12. "Song based on the Italian opera Pagliacci, which is about a clown..." - This is "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
16. "New ___ by songstress Patti LaBelle" - "Attitude"
20. "This R&B group shares a hit song with a bubble chewing gum" - Bubblicious? Or maybe referring to "Bubblegum Pop"? Actually, this could be "Sugarhill Gang" or similar... Let me think... It might be "The Sweet Inspirations" or could be referring to a specific song. Actually, it's likely "The O'Jays" with "Love Train" but that doesn't fit. Let me reconsider - "bubble chewing gum" suggests "Bubblicious" which was a brand, so maybe "Sweethearts" or "Chic"? I'll need to check the length.
21. "This R&B group taught us about 'Backstabbers'" - The O'Jays
22. "Sings 'Whatever you want to do is all right with me'" - This is from "All Right With Me"
25. "'She's Built, She's Stacked' Singer" - This is James Brown
26. "This song was originally written and recorded by Otis Redding in 1965, and later covered by Aretha Franklin 1967" - "Respect"
DOWN:
1. "'She's mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out. She's a___'" - "Freak" (from "Superfreak")
2. "A young Michael Jackson covered this Bill Withers song in 1972" - "Ain't No Sunshine"
4. "The unlikely sex symbol with the husky voice" - Barry White
5. "This soul singer sang 'about a 50-50 love'" - Could be related to "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" but that's Paul Simon... Maybe "Gladys Knight"?
6. "Marvin Gaye song that's still relevant today" - "What's Going On"
8. "This sweet treat is the title to Cameos 1986 hit" - "Candy"
9. "Sings 'But when you wish upon a dream Life ain't always what it seems'" - This is from "Dreams"
11. "___ train to ___" - Likely "Love Train"
13. "This song was First recorded by The Undisputed Truth, but The Temptations recorded it with greater success" - "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"
14. "'Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh' Artist" - Stevie Wonder ("Sir Duke")
15. "1969 Stevie Wonder song originally titled 'Oh My Marsha'" - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours"
17. "'If ya feel it let it get into you' Song" - "Get Into It"
18. "R&B/funk group known for 'Love ballad' and 'Holding On'" - The Whispers
19. "This family gave us hits like 'Rhythm of the Night' and 'I Like It'" - DeBarge
23. "Mary J. Blige covered this Funk groups song in 1992" - Could be "Real Love" or another track
24. "Voyage to ___ by the Isley Brothers" - "Atlantis"
27. "1976 song by Deniece Williams about being alone" - "Alone"
28. "Artist who composed and performed the theme from Shaft" - Isaac Hayes

30. "Will Smith sampled this song in his 1997 hit 'Miami'" - "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen
