The game's question
One clue at a time, no rush. As soon as a face comes to mind, say the name.
On August 4, 1958, the Billboard Hot 100—the new weekly chart of the country’s hits—appeared for the very first time. At the top sat “Poor Little Fool.” The singer was already a familiar face: every week, families watched him on TV, in a show where his own family played themselves. Which of these three names is his?
- Tommy Edwards
- Ricky Nelson
- Bobby Lewis
Need a hint?
Picture a real family playing themselves on TV, week after week. His first name is also a common nickname for Richard.
