tekietek Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The question is "what was elvis; first number one country record" so i'm thinking they want an album.. thanks for trying though.. i came up with the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 an M&M album probably. oh diggs, you're adorable! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm m&ms......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 It's possible they could mean either one. You should ask the person who wrote the test to clarify the question. They should either state "song" or "album", not "record". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioslave Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Motown performers: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Temptations, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, and Stevie Wonder- there are many, many more. A crossover record is one that scores in more than one category of music - for example, Faith Hill began as a country star and had several crossovers to the pop charts, as did Shania Twayne, rap stars that have had crossovers to pop might be Blackeyed Peas, Eminem, and Outkast. The earliest crossovers were probably Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr. Hope that helps. I imagine the cost of producing a show with as many musicians as the big bands used was probably a contributing factor in their demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
