(September 22, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 68! It’s the weekly music challenge where the blog provides the clues… and you provide the responses. Each clue has point values — no dollars! The player(s) with the most points gets bragging rights.
This round’s category — “The Soul of 68!” — are clues related to iconic No. 1 soul songs and artists from that year.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! The theme from last time — “Same Year, Same Title, Different Song” generated a record 13 respondents — eight of whom got perfect scores! How will this week’s players fare?
Think you know your trivia about 1968 soul music? There’s only one way to find out: play along!
You can post your responses in the “Your Thoughts” box below (they’ll be withheld from view until the contest closes), DM me on social media, or email me. Please don’t be that person who posts answers publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone. And, if you’re sending an anonymous comment, please remember to include a name or alias so we can give proper credit.
