Game #205: SexyGame

[franktangredi]

I don't see how 14 can be Charley Pride. His signature song was always "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," and it came out in the early 70s. Plus, he had top five singles every year of the 1970s, including 1979.

My first thought was Kenny Rogers, but Lucille was much earlier than 1979. My second thought was Freddy Fender, but ditto for Before the Next Teardrop Falls.

I cannot find anyone who fits the clue.

Maybe because I got the year wrong - it was 1980 - and I somewhat overstated the case. He had some smaller hits, but it was his first solo #1 in several years. But one thing is for sure: even among country songs, it's a major tearjerker ... in a very, very good way.

Barbara Hale goes with Della
Irwin Allen goes with Inferno

And I cheated by googling Evans Carlson to find out who he was as well.

Of the 'definite' answers, six are incorrect -
69. This veteran character actor seemed finally poised for a measure of stardom when he starred in a Nero Wolfe pilot – perfect casting – but the pilot was not picked up and never aired until more than a year after his death.
KURT KAZNAR

This is one of the incorrect answers. It's THAYER DAVID, formerly of Dark Shadows.

The name "Kaznar" is a pretty good indicator that the answer's wrong, since it's hard to think of other people with Kaznar as either a first or last name.
