The game's question
Pause at each clue and let a picture come back. There is no hurry at all.
1951: the radio sits on the kitchen counter, and a soft, warm voice fills the room while dinner cooks. The song is “Too Young.” By the end of the year, it was the No. 1 song in the whole country. Chances are someone at your house knew every note. Find his name among the three below.
- Tennessee Ernie Ford
- Nat King Cole
- Guy Mitchell
Need a hint?
His first name has just three letters, and the middle of his name belongs to royalty. Humming “Too Young” softly may bring the rest.

Answer: Nat King Cole—“Too Young,” the No. 1 song of 1951.
Why this game : Early 1950s evenings come with this voice: the kitchen radio, a slow dance, and the people who were there.
