Quiz 28 - The Seventies

I think this thread has now become (to paraphrase Paul Carrack amongst others…) “my favourite waste of time”.

I don’t know why but I managed to cheerfully spend quite some time trying to determine who had the highest-charted recording of “Wind Beneath My Wings”…

It’s one other. Also the other gender.

All her hits were the same album too from memory.

I picture you sitting with strangers on a train.

“Wind Beneath My Wings, tell me what you know.”

Yeah “Come On Over” was massive. Pretty much every household in the 90s had that, Jagged Little Pill and Nimrod in their CD collection.

My brain keeps going “My Beautiful Dark Twisted…no wait that’s Kanye”

It’s “Something blah blah blah” or “Some Kind of blah blah blah”

19 has just dawned on me. I bought it on vinyl not that long ago, I should have picked it straight away!

I have the original cut :smiley:
