NTN Encore Question of September 13th, 2008.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO/METLCA and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/11...our five boards win this round with MADDOG. ............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/11... OnBeat...ROCKET...14000/14000...1st/11...I go 9 for 9 and our five boards win this round. .............LITBOX...14000/14000...1st/11...Rob gets us one of these that I may have missed. I've brought an old copy of Billboard instead of this weeks. Jukebox...ROCKET...19768/20000...4th/11...PLBAAB wins round. ............LITBOX...19757/20000...5th/11. Triviaoke...ROCKET...26256/28000...2nd/11...ROCKET wins round. .............LITBOX...26223/28000...3rd/11...we take one -250 in this round.

Now the Encore answers come up. These artists have all been with Motown Records but what could this question be?
Encore Question:...Who sang a duet with Diana Ross in the 1973 hit "You're A Special Part Of Me"?

I see duo and immediately think of 'Endless Love' with Lionel Richie but that's not the question! I don't know this. Rob says the answer. I don't have anything better and start thinking who it wouldn't be. Lionel Richie wasn't famous that long ago. That year is just before The Commodores had their first hit. Michael Jackson was very young back then and had a song with the phrase of the answer but that was decades later.
Correct Answer:....4. Marvin Gaye
[NTN Extra Fact:...It was the first of two hits as a duo with the second being "My Mistake (Was To Love You)".]
I'm right and stay in 2nd place as ROCKET with 39384. I finish 12th for all North America. The bar is 3rd in North America with a 39077 average.. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 16000 points. Rob finishes 4th on the Network Top 20 and 2nd on this bar's Hall of Fame. (NTN.com kept our bar in 3rd place out of 1477 locations.)

I had enough time to take the transit home from a soccer game, change clothes from the wet then walk through the rain to get here later than usual. The rain was nothing compared the hurricane in the Southern USA so explains the low count of players out this week.
