3/4 Correct!

The jury says, close enough!



The Poppy Family was one of few pop bands whose "drummer" played tablas mostly, and upon hearing them for the first time, you might think this was The Carpenters in the late Sixties, trying to be psychedelic. No tablas on their hit though.

Susan Jacks, the lead singer, died last year at 73, awaiting a kidney transplant.

Her ex-husband Terry Jacks was in The Poppy Family as well, and he is the "clue artist" in question who made a hit with Jacques Brel material "Le Moribund" which became "Seasons In the Sun" which was a Rod McKuen translation. One of the most hated Number One Hits of all time.



Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods was the correct answer for the band that beat UK band Paper Lace to the punch in the USA (Paper Lace's version peaked at #97 in the USA), and scored their only top ten hit with the song. Another one of the most hated number one hits of all time. The Paper Lace song that mentions "Al Capone" was "The Night Chicago Died" and was Paper Lace's only USA hit.
