Encore Question of September 29th, 2001.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm in the lead playing with Ray MAC, Richard BERGIE, Dave COITIS, Bill MADDOG, Marlo M and Doug CRANKY and barely met my 20000 goal before the Encore round.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp....4500/5000...2nd/12 in four way tie...COITIS wins round with 5000. OnBeat...11000/14000...1st/11...I win round with seven right and two wrong. JukeBox...15292/20000...1st/11...COITIS wins round. Triviaoke...20006/28000...1st/8...MAC wins round. The 1000 I got for 'Yesterday' lyrics saved me.
The answers come up and it's going to be something about Soul Singers.
Encore Question:...Whitney Houston's first song to chart was a duet with:

.
I can put everyone out except Teddy and Luther. I've read the answer in my Top Singles music book but I don't bring that one here on Saturday nights, it's my Top Albums which is usually more effective. This was a very important song as it disqualified Whitney from being nominated as 'Best New Artist' for the Grammys a few years later. Was it Teddy who later would end up in a wheelchair? I think so but aren't confident to convince everybody except to give them a two answer choice.
Correct Answer:...3. Teddy Pendergrass
[NTN Extra Fact:...Pendergrass recorded "Hold Me" with Houston after an accident put him in a wheelchair].
