Question 9: Gary Moore was a member of which band?

Wait — this might be tricky. Gary Moore was actually a guitarist from Northern Ireland, best known for playing with Thin Lizzy and later solo work. But none of those options are listed. Let’s check:

- Jimmy Hendrix? No.
- The Troggs? No.
- Fleetwood Mac? He played with them briefly in 1974 — but that’s after the 60s.
- Delfonics? No.
- None of the above? That seems right for 1960s context.

Actually, Gary Moore wasn’t really part of any major 60s band among these choices. So safest answer:

✔ Correct answer: None of the above

*(Note: If this quiz assumes he was in Fleetwood Mac during the 60s — that’s incorrect. He joined in the 70s.)*

Question 10: The song “Wishin’ and Hopin’” was a hit back in the 1960s. Who sang it?

Dusty Springfield made this song famous in 1964.

Question 11: What was Mike Clifford’s one hit wonder?

Mike Clifford had a hit with “Close to Cathy” in 1962.

✔ Correct answer: Close to Cathy

Question 12: Who led the Now Generation?

This refers to Paul McCartney — he formed a band called “The Fireman” later, but in the 60s, he was part of The Beatles. Wait — actually, “Now Generation” isn’t a real band. Hmm.

Looking at options: Paul McCartney, Prince, Elton John, Bobby Russell.

Bobby Russell wrote songs, but didn’t lead a band called “Now Generation.”

Actually — there was a group called “The Now Generation” led by Bobby Russell? Not really.

Wait — perhaps this is referring to Paul McCartney leading The Beatles, who represented the “now generation”? But that’s stretching.

Alternatively — maybe it's a trick. Actually, upon checking: There was no major band called “Now Generation” led by any of these.

But if we must pick — Paul McCartney is most associated with defining the 60s youth culture.

However, let’s double-check: Bobby Russell wrote “Little Green Apples”, but didn’t lead a band.

Actually — I think this may be an error in the quiz. But since Paul McCartney is the biggest name here linked to 60s revolution...

Wait — correction: There was a band called “The Now Generation” formed by Bobby Russell? No evidence.

Actually — looking up: “Who led the Now Generation?” — likely refers to Paul McCartney as symbolic leader of 60s pop.

But let’s see option: Bobby Russell — he was a songwriter, not bandleader.

Perhaps the intended answer is Paul McCartney.

✔ Best guess: Paul McCartney

*(Note: This question may be poorly worded. In reality, no one “led the Now Generation” — it was a cultural term.)*

---

Question 13: Who wrote “Hey Joe”?

“Hey Joe” was written by Billy Roberts, though many people think it was Jimi Hendrix because he made it famous.

✔ Correct answer: Billy Roberts

---

Question 14: How did Jimmy Hendrix die?

Jimi Hendrix died from asphyxia due to vomiting while unconscious from drug overdose — so officially, drug overdose.

✔ Correct answer: Drug overdose

---

Question 15: Where did the Beatles first perform “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” in the USA?

They performed it live on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964 — their first US TV appearance.

✔ Correct answer: Ed Sullivan show
