The game's question
Hum along if the tune comes first—the name usually follows close behind.
September 1975. The car radio is on, the road is long, and a big, sunny song fills the car. On September 6, “Rhinestone Cowboy” reached No. 1 in the country. Picture the sparkle: rhinestones are the little glittering stones sewn onto a stage outfit. Circle the singer’s name together.
- Johnny Nash
- Glen Campbell
- Van McCoy
Need a hint?
A glen is a narrow valley between hills—and it is also his first name. Say it out loud, and the last name may follow.

Answer: Glen Campbell—“Rhinestone Cowboy,” No. 1 on September 6, 1975.
Why this game : A song heard on the road brings back the trips themselves: the car, the view from the window, and the voices in the back seat.
