TRIVIA QUESTION ANSWER
Answer: C) "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John. While this song was indeed released in the 1970s, it is more accurately classified as a pop and rock song rather than an R&B hit. The other songs are classic R&B tracks from the 1970s.
Check out one of the incorrect answers that was indeed a 1970’s R&B hit… Lovely Day by Bill Withers. Click above to WATCH and LISTEN.
