Last weekend, this forum featured a narrative on popular songs that carried a girl’s name in the title, so in fairness to the men and boys out there, this weekend the Voice from the Bullpen follows up with another music quiz, this time naming the performers who did songs with guys’ names in the title.

The quiz is set up the same way for completion and self-correction and scoring. All you have to do is name the artists, so without any further ado, grab your pen and paper, your preferred beverage, and as Frank Reagan sometimes utters in the show Blue Bloods, “Have at it.”
