The game's question
If the tune comes before the name, hum it—then go on with the clues.
July 1972. A warm, deep voice on the radio, and a simple song that was easy to hum. On July 1, “Song Sung Blue” reached No. 1 in the country. The title is just three short words, easy to say and easy to sing. Circle the name that goes with the voice.
- Sammy Davis Jr.
- Neil Diamond
- Bill Withers
Need a hint?
Say “Song Sung Blue” slowly, like a tune. His last name is a precious stone—the one that sparkles most.

Why this game : Simple songs hummed everywhere lead straight to the summers of the early 1970s: road trips, radios, and backyard evenings.
