And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:

1. 1966. Ken Boothe's original reggae version has become a classic. The 1995 remake introduced contemporary audiences to this vintage track.

2. Shaggy. His collaboration with Ken Boothe remixed the track into the mid-'90s dancehall scene.

3. House. Tucker's vocal prowess embraced house music, a genre she dominated in the '90s.

4. TV series "Family Ties". A surprise twist for the song, catapulting it to chart success years later.

5. Slide Guitar. Rea's signature instrument adds a wistful texture to his tribute song.

6. Incorrect track name. "Mighty Mix" went rogue on record labels, leaving collectors bemused.

7. United Kingdom. While many placed it at number one, the UK demurred, giving it silver.

8. Steel guitar. Parton was keen to sprinkle some honky tonk on her crossover hit.

9. 47. Shaq's foray into rap made a mild splash on the charts.

10. Sister, Sister. TV appearances expanded Immature’s pop culture footprint.

11. Disco samples. Soulsearcher's beats brought retro rhythms to late '90s club floors.

12. Blues rock. Moore's guitar-driven track mixed heartfelt strains with rock's edge.
