And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Vince Gill lent his vocal talents to Faith Hill’s tune. His harmony, paired with the steel guitar, gives “Let Me Let Go” its distinct country flair.
2. James Ingram joined Dolly Parton for this duet. Their collaboration charmed audiences and earned award nominations, all while Beethoven’s antics unfolded.
3. Released as a single, “Have Mercy” is from Yazz’s sophomore album, *One on One*. It’s a five-year evolution from her debut, showcasing her continued pop sensibilities.
4. Cher’s performance on “Top of the Pops” was distinctive, not least because of her red wig and daring outfit. A visual and musical highlight in 1992.
5. “Stuck in the Middle with You” saw its first light with Stealers Wheel. Jeff Healey’s take revived the classic riff for 90s rock audiences.
6. Doug Hopkins penned “Found Out About You”. Its bittersweet success belied Hopkins’s exit from the band, yet his songwriting remained central.
7. “Nick of Time” faces life’s relentless tick, despite common radio spins. Raitt’s narrative reflects real-life observations intertwined with musical finesse.
8. Featuring on *GRRR! It’s Betty Boo*, “Hangover” veers towards remixed chaos. British listeners found themselves both amused and mildly inebriated.
9. Sybil’s “Crazy 4 U” derives additional rhythm from Salt-N-Pepa. Their presence pushes the danceability factor well beyond average.
10. Maysa’s “What About Our Love?” launched in 1995. A soft jazz croon from her self-titled album left curious listeners asking the very question of love itself.
11. Covering “Get It Up for Love”, Luciana tapped Stephen Michael Schwartz’s initial release for a fresh 1994 pop debut, brimming with energy and historic nods.
12. By 1986 “Let My People Go-Go” danced onto the charts via The Rainmakers’ album. Kansas roots infused the track with their signature style, reaching UK audiences effectively.
